The Easiest Way to Survive a Bear Attack

Bears live throughout the world, from Canada to the Andes, and Northern Europe to Southeast Asia. These intelligent, muscular omnivores usually prefer to keep their distance from humans, but can be a serious threat on the rare occasion when they turn violent.

Picture this: one day you're on a relaxing stroll through the woods, taking in the fresh morning air. Suddenly, your relaxation is interrupted by the sound of twigs snapping behind you. You turn around and are suddenly face to face with a grizzly bear the size of your car. Now, what are you going to do?

SUMMARY:
- The best way to prevent bear attacks is to avoid direct contact with the animals as much as possible.
- Bears aren’t evil creatures, and their attacks are extremely rare. On average, there are only about three fatal attacks per year.
- Bears generally try to avoid humans when we come near. It’s very common for hikers and campers to come within a few hundred feet of a bear and never know it.
- When bears turn violent, it’s usually because they’re surprised and frightened, or trying to protect their cubs.
- Keep toothpaste out of your tent. Many species of bear are known to be attracted to the smell. A little bit of morning breath is worth it if it means keeping your summer activities bear-free.
- If you’ve stumbled upon a family of black bears, you’re in luck. These smaller breeds prefer to avoid conflict whenever possible and will usually retreat when threatened instead of becoming aggressive.
- Brown bears including the infamous North American Grizzly, tend to be much more aggressive when threatened.
- Brown bears will not take your aggressive tone very well, and in the wild, it can be much more difficult to tell them apart then you might think.
- Very rarely though, the bear won't just appear aggressive, it might actually be aggressive. If it continues to follow you even as you back away, it's time to think about fighting back.
- Look the bear in the eyes and shout while making yourself look bigger. Stamp your feet on the ground and maybe even take a step or two towards it.
- Kick it, punch it, insult it’s mother, hit it with a stick or a rock, focus on the eyes and nose and do whatever you have to do because, at this point, you're fighting for your life.
- Always remember to remain calm, keep your distance, and back away from any fight that isn’t completely unavoidable.

For somebody who is on a hike with his grandma, keep in mind that swearing might save you from the bear, but you'll be in much worse trouble afterwards.

“Insult it’s mother”

- Bright side, 1986 - 2019 -

I live in an area where bears are quite common. In my hikes in the woods I have encountered more than a few. This is probably the best video on how to deal with a bear. It emphases avoidance... the one thing it didn't say ..and it could be your first clue... The things STINK...… Noise, smell, your proximity to things like berry patches...or some streams.... be aware of your surroundings... carry bear repellent... I also carry a small aerosol horn.... bears dont like the sudden sharp sound...

"kick it, punch it, insult it's mother" IM WEAK😂😂😂
