As a person who's taken many bear safety courses for jobs and lived in bear country all my life it is not a good idea to ever run away from a bear.They can run faster than any person can. If you see a black bear make yourself look larger by stretching your arms up and if it ignores you slowly back away facing it. If it charges you then you should remain still with your arms up. It is most likely a false charge (runs up to you but stops about 2 ft away) to test if you'd run. If you face away or trip infront of the bear it will see that as an oppertunity to attack. If it pushes on the ground roll on your back and cover your neck. If the bear is trying to kill you and you have no other option but escape, never climb a tree or run on a flat ground instead look for a steep hill to run down once at the bottom run far away. Bears take a few minutes climbing down steep hills and often avoid it. If no hills are near you and it is chasing you your pretty fucked you could try to throw food at it to distract it but at that point it probably isn't hungry and just wants to kill you. Another option is to attack it with a stick or weapon.

But to avoid bear ecounters completely bring bear mace, dogs with bells, or a bear whistle, don't bring that could attract bears and avoid areas with bear scratches in trees and possible bear dens

If a bear charges, simply decline his credit card :)

Never under any circumstances should you run from any charging bear. Running may turn a false charge into an actual attack and at any rate, you will never out run a bear.

Running from a black bear will get you mauled; you don't run from any bear. Play dead for Grizzly Bears, and make yourself seem bigger for Black bears.

Bear attack advice:
If it's black, fight back
If it's brown, lay down
If it's white, say goodnight
