Lost in translation

I had my first ever accent-related conversation confusion over the weekend. We were at the softball tournament and Trav's friend was telling us about a 4 day camping trip he was going on with his family. The conversation went like this:

Me: so how long will it take you to get there?
Derek: oh about 4 hours or so.
Me: that's not too bad. Will there be bears?
Derek: oh yeah... I'm sure we'll have some beers...
Trav and Fan (at the same time): Not beers, beaRs!
Derek: What?
Trav and Fan: BeaRs! GRRRR (with two hand claw motion)
Derek: Oh BeaRs!
Me: (red face)
Everyone else: (in hysterics)
