The information in this article is incorrect.

The correct course of action when you meet any kind of bear on the trail is to throw a handful of poo at it. You will surely have some within reach when the time comes. :)

The only manly way to fight a bear is with your bear hands.

Bears are omnivorous. they will eat whatever they can get, even a rotting carcass. keep your eyes and ears open…keep fire handy. fire worked for our primitive ancestors and it still works today.

i think the proper way to kill a black bear, if you have a good knife which i always do but don’t feel bad if you don’t so get one, if your hunting. anyway once the bear charges leap out of the way climb on its back grab your knife and stab it in the throat as many times as you can.

I’d like to see a survival guide about those bears that kill diabetic people…

Gummi bears.

I’ve actually bumped into a few black bears in my time as I live right in their territory. Never a Grizzly though. For Blacks, they are wusses, really. At the sight of a human they book it. However some will bluff charge you, and that’s where a lot of people get hurt as they instinctively run away. Stand your ground and make yourself as big as possible. Make noises and movement. Do not act like prey but like a fellow predator. If it does not stop the charge, fight it with everything you got because at that point it’s no longer about territory or it’s kids. All it thinks about is how it’ll kill you. The closest I’ve been to one in the wild was about 4ft away from a 300pound Black. Not huge, but a threat. He took a look at me and ran away. Since then I’ve only had a few close calls with Blacks and one very close call of a mother moose charging me. If a Black attacks you, he wants to kill you, never play dead. Grizzly’s are different but I have no experience with them.

With a little Liquid encouragement I wrestled a declawed, muzzled black bear in the smokies in the early 80′s. I am a big guy who played college football and was working a construction job at the time. While I know this is nothing like a wild bear it was very interesting. Bears are incredibly strong and nimble. I did punch him in the chest and it was similar to punching a tree. Your first defense should be S&W 500 mag.
