Just climb in your RTT. Ain't nobody been eaten in one, then lived to tell the tale.

 

Bear memes for Xmas

 

AND that is how a snowflake reacts lol , bear is going to do what bear want to cause bear don't care lol I don't think I have ever heard anyone try to reason with an animal ..lol till now

As for the OP question as has been said works but keep your head on a swivel and don't get complacent. Nothing you own other then your life Is worth challenging an animal that can an will kill you if provoked.

I once sprayed a Koala bear named Blinky with Febreeze.

 

Always take a friend, a slow runner.

Whaddya do, shoot your buddy in the knee then run?
Been to Alaska with four other guys, packed some bear spray, a little nervous in one area we went thru, dropped off by a Bush pilot in Wrangell-St Elias Park. I've been to the back country in Glacier NP in Montana twice by myself. No spray, just speak out every so often, missed seeing Ole man grizz on each trip by a day or a few hours.

Black bears in Michigan’s UP. Oh let’s make a big breakfast with bacon. I love cooking in the outdoors , everything tastes better. Until your camp gets raided at 2:00 AM.

 

Been there. Panda named blacknwhite, also febreeze. More than once. He’s missing an eye. Must be hungry. He’s a lot thinner than he used to be.

 

Pacific NW? WA or Oregon? Our bears (Montana) just want to be left alone. Most effective thing with bears is letting them know you’re in the area. Talking while hiking in bear country is more effective and will likely result in not even seeing a bear.

If you want to be like the assholes that visit Yellowstone park every summer and get as close as you can, then reccomend a slow friend and the bear spray. Or don’t, I’m a big advocate of Darwinism.

 

Better to have a pissed off buddy, if he makes it, than a big ol pissed off Bear.

 

If your close enough to a bear to hit it with bear spray, you've just succeeded in making the mauling you're about to get that much more painful since you're about to get mauled by a bear wearing pepper spray

 

Don’t get close enough to a bear for it to charge you... ooh look a pretty bison, I want to pet it... why did it charge me?! Happens every year. Wish more people would try to pet bears too.

 

Just thinning the heard, it’s natural selection.
