There is at least one thing that you never want to find out about a bear first hand, they have very bad breath!

[...] wilderness, like the kid in Hatchet. Or perhaps you’re out camping and you lose your backpack in a tussle with a bear. It need not be something as dramatic at these situations-even extremely windy or wet conditions [...]

The only way to travel in bear country is with a machine gun, bazooka and hand gernades.

What scares me more than any Bear is the fact the some of the people on this blog go out in the wilderness and come within 50 miles of me. Some of the comments I know are done in humor and they are funny but some have me wondering if half the population isn’t retarded. I think the Bears should be the frightened ones!

I’m suprised you’ve all missed out on this little bit of old wisdom… “You don’t have to run faster than the bear, you just have to run faster than your friend.”

Running fast is manly, right?

A real man would wait for the bear to growl loudly (open its mouth) and then grab its jaws and rip them apart! And then he would wear the lower jaw (attached to a rope, of course) proudly on his chest.
And he would get laid in immense numbers. And would have much progeny.
And he would have a massive army fiercely loyal to him and willing to kill any man that wishes to harm him. And if he were not king, he would be the mighty general/bodyguard loyal to only one other: the king.
THAT is a real man. The rest of us are just trying to get somewhere close or close enough…. Except for Winter Thea Bear. That’s a serious badass. I have found veterans to be the realest people I have ever known. Nothing shows the good qualities of a man like living a life of kill or be killed at every second, for years. They are the closest I have ever known to gods. And I mean Vietnam War, Korean War, Iraq I, and the Crip-ed out streets of Southern California back in the late ’60s, early ’70s, when it meant something (according to them. I was not in any of these places so I have no way to determine the truth of any of it except for the very presence of the man himself). And these people I knew were gentlemen. (I do not know anyone in Iraq II or Afghanistan).

@Damien S. Yeah, I’m not cool with being tossed either. Unless I was unconscious. Otherwise I’d have to *do* something. If there was this massive chunk of pure muscle ready to take a bite out of me, I’d rather it was my head than my heal and then the rest from there. In the bargain, I have a *damn* good chance of getting lucky. Sounds better than getting tossed around like a leaf.

@David: At home?! That sounds like existing, I’d rather live!

Pretty much, it’s a safer bet to never run when a wild animal confronts you, either a bear nor a snarling dog. With a dog, you can just sit down and hold out your hands, it confuses them. (You HAVE to be prepared to smack it on the jaw, or even grab it’s jaws). Simple: prey run, predators eat. It’s all fast food, man. All fast food.

Heywood Kenobi-

I am sure if you did not have a gun, and a girl friend of yours had some pepper spray you would definately use it during a grizzly attack! Along with you crapping your pants! lol

The comments seem to be more interesting than the guide itself, haha. As for throwing a couple blows to the bear… Don’t you know thats like Gary Coleman fighting the Hulk?

It is a common myth that bears can’t run downhill.
And it is also a myth that we could out-maneuver a Bear.
If you have ever seen a bear run down a darting Deer you would notice this fact.
If you look into the story of the 14 foot Grizzly Bear you will
find out it is a hoax. There was a real bear killed it was 10 ft and around 1200
pounds and did not kill any hikers. You want to check out the real story look up
Theodore Winnen and Giant Bear story. Real photos, inaccurate captions.
