A pole, bear spray, a stick, etc.

What to do when encountering a bear. Create a cloud of bear spray the bear will have to move through by pulling out your bear spray and begin spraying when a bear is 30 feet away, aiming slightly down adjusting for. The bear is curious and begins to move nearer. Keep your distance, stepping sideways away and keeping your eyes on the bear.

Move away from the bear very slowly and quietly, in a sideways direction while keeping an eye on the polar bear. Knowing how to respond to a bear encounter can save a life. Although it certainly wouldn't be ideal to encounter a bear during a hike, it's unfortunately a risk hikers face in many parts of the world — in fact, an outdoor guide sadly.

Aim at the bear’s face and keep. Encountering a black bear or a grizzly bear on a walk in the woods is the fear of many hiker on a canadian road trip. So, go ahead and belt out that tune as loudly as you can.

Talk in quiet tones, telling the bear you’re a human. Who can boast of knowing exactly how to react in the. You see a bear and it doesn’t see you.

The more the bear persists, the more aggressive. Stay calm and remember that most. Hike in a group of at least three people.

Shout and make yourself look as big as possible. Lay flat on your stomach with your hands clasped behind your head to protect the back of your neck. Threaten the bear with whatever is handy (stick, pole, bear spray).
