[@Basically_Me0202]

I want to add a few things to this. I live in Montana and we have encountered bears many times they aren't uncommon. Some places even have a bear safety class you take before going on hikes. Anyway you should always point the bear spray at a certain angle and aim for the ground about 20 feet in front of the bear since bears run fast and typically with the head at a lower angle they will instead run right into the mist of bear spray. Dont aim directly at the bear since you will miss. Second if a bear is charging at you, you have to play dead. Hold your ground till it gets you other wise once it gets to you play dead. Don't scream bears don't like loud noises and instead will continue to attack you. Next when a bear does attack you always lay on your stomach and place your hands on your head. Most of your important organs are in your stomach and keeping your stomach closer to the ground will be safer for your organs. If you do go hiking it is always recommended to bring one to two people with you. Bears have bad eyesight and so if you are in a group they will think you are one big mass also remember to keep talking. If you don't have anyone with you listen to music out loud on a speaker. Finally don't ever climb a tree. Black bears climb trees and grizzly's will wait for you to get down or they will try and reach you. Forgotten to add one more thing. If you do bet attacked by a bear and you happen to survive even though it will hurt like hell and you want to get out of there. Always walk and listen. You will be covered in blood and if you run you might get mauled by another bear for scaring it or even a different animal that will chase such as a mountain lion or wolves.

SIR I was taking a morning stroll through the Montana woods when abruptly and unexpectedly, a grizzly bear charged me from behind. The pound came on so quickly that I was terrified. The bear champed my shoulder and dragged me down the rocky ground like a doll as it pinned me to the ground with its snout. I've never had to hurt an animal with my own two hands, but I have no other option. I seized hold of the bear's neck and tossed it to the left. As I attempted to stand up, the bear proceeded to charge once more in my direction. I waited until it started to bite me in the face as it drew nearer. I took hold of the bear with ONE hand and While MY OTHER HAND repeatedly punched it in the skull as I banged it into the large tree trunk like a doll. The bear's head then cracked, and it collapsed to the ground dead.

If you see a white bear say good night try to fight but just tell ur family u love them and say good night

Bear spray is simply “seasoning” for the bear as he chews on your flesh!

1.Throw it a hot dog 2. Throw it an open ziplock bag filled with organic honey 3. Pull string attached to bucket filled with tar and feathers that was previously positioned over the bears head. 4. Enjoy the moment 5. Throw it another hotdog. 6. Run!

If you see a bear go and hug him

[@Raphael16045]

Haha as if a human's teeth can do damage to a bear with that thick coat.😂

If it's a brown bear get into the featle position. Protect your organs and wait it out. If it's a black bear fight back

[@bucketlist621]

Be friendly, Bears invented bear hugs. Give them a hug.

If you see a bear , it is best to approach the bear and slap the 💩 out of it in order to establish who is the boss. This psychological trick will convince him not to mess with you and it will leave you alone.

Slap the crap outta him … but only he’s hibernating

[@danwelterweight4137]

Make sure you spread honey and berry jam all over yourself just before you do that too.

I cohabitatied in Northern California with bears. I scold them like a dog. Scold them sternly no , go on, get! Worked many many times over 45 years. Content provider, please consider dropping the ominous music you're only increasing subconscious fear, when calm is what's required.

Ran from one and it came after me. I stopped and it slid right past me. My friend said "Man, I'd be pooping my pants". I replied "What do you think the bear was sliding on"?

Most don’t accept this fate: it’s up to the bear if you live.

One thing saved a man's life he remembered seeing something saying bears had bad gag reflexes so while he was being attacked he literally punched his hand down the bears throat and it worked the bear was gagging and backed gagging go for the eyes the snow and if you can punch write down the gullet

[@Livvy-o1e]

if you dont then rember the poem if its a brown lay down if its a black fight back if its a white say goodnight and if its a grizzly then lay down in the beetle position and count to 1000

[@RackwitzG]

Since you can only encounter a bear where there are bears, I avoid such areas completely.....
