What will you do against a bear?

[osama bin laden]

Let’s imagine you went for a walk into forest and you turn around because of weird sound and see a bear, what will you do?

[Lunar Fang]

I die.

I don't have bears here

Where I lived before there were black bears. Way up north.

Up further north, I think there are brown bears. Don't f with brown bears, especially a mother bear near cubs, or around their den. They'll kill you

So, in a situation like this, what would I do against a bear?

Black bear? Run away, and survive. Why? They also run away from humans. We have a mutal agreement.

Brown bear? Run away, and probably die, or slowly retreat by stepping backwards in a non-aggressive stance, and then try to break line of sight with the bear, but only slowly. This is seemingly the only way to survive against a brown bear, that I know of.

The only other way I know of to survive against a brown bear, would be if you had some kind of advantageous terrain to work with around you. They won't mess with a cliff....so if you had some way to repel onto one and pick into it, you'll survive. Or, if you had a gun powerful enough to defeat a brown bear. Or bear spray. I would probably use bear mace, since I have some, but that's only good for five seconds, so I better hope they're looking at me and within range.

I spent a great many hours of each day navigating through forests to get exercise, in many different areas, so I can usually spot a brown bear before they spot me. At that point, it is best to break eye contact with them and move away slowly, then break line of sight, then run away and hope you have a car nearby that you can drive away with. I would have to....idk, hope there's a water drain nearby to climb in. I don't think a bear would be smart enough, or capable enough to remove one of those. They need human grip to do that. Their brute force might be strong enough to break the grate, but they likely wouldn't do that.

Sorry.. but NO... running is the worst thing one can do.

This is why people shouldn't get their information from randoms off the Internet

... it's usually bad advice.

There's a

~VERY, VERY~ good reason why the experts say:

"try to fight back using any object available" and "if the attack persists, fight back vigorously. Use whatever you have at hand to hit the bear in the face"

Bears aren't what Hollywood makes them out to be... it's life... or death.

bears dont exist in my country

[Angel]

I'd walk up to them and give them a pat.

...since the only bears in Australia are Koala Bears (which technically isn't a bear). I actually found one in my house once but drove out to let it go in the wilderness. They're very cute.

Thats why if you read my post completely, I say I would run away and likely die from a brown bear.

Black bears just run away. Unless they're completely hungry and on pcp or something. Idk. you're not supposed to run away from a brown bear, that's why I put that I would likely die

Then I listed ways you could deal with a brown bear.

Thank you for reading for two seconds, go back to tiktok

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

if its black bear you can intimidate and scare it away sometimes
if its grizzly you are toast and better have your bear spray on you

[trousers]

I would offer the bear my picnic basket.

[Xero_Daxter]

You first, OP.

THROW the peppermint toothpaste as far away from you as possible.
