Bears
Bears are not normally aggressive unless you mess with their young, or they're just hungry. If they do attack, it's because of one of those. Here we will show you how to survive a bear attack.
How to Survive
How to handle the bear depends on what kind it is, grizzly bear or black bear.
Grizzly Bear Survival Guide
Hikers in bear country should always carry pepper spray.
This makes bears think you're prey. Stand your ground.
- Drop to the ground and cover your neck
If the pepper spray doesn't work, this is your last defense. Hit the ground and curl up in a fetal position
Grizzlies will not attack if they feel there is no longer a threat. Play dead for a while longer after it leaves. Grizzlies have been known to wait around and see if you will get back up.
Black Bear Survival Guide
Same with the grizzly, this works like a charm.
- Stand your ground and make noise
Black bears often bluff charge. Show them you're not afraid and they may not attack you.
Black bears are excellent climbers, and could come up after you.
If the black bear really comes at you dig fingers into its eyes, punch, kick, anything make it drop you.
