How to Outrun a Bear, Successfully

3 Conversations

Bears are usually astoundingly large brown/black furry creatures with extremely long claws and mind-bogglingly large teeth. Not known to be particularly pleasant, peaceful creatures.

When encountering a bear, most people tell you to wave your arms in the air frantically- puff up, and yell at it.

There is a less deadly method as the aforementioned notion may find you in result of less limbs than you started with and quite a deal less blood.

Suggestion; it -is- possible to outrun a bear. The trick is when you are in an area where you are likely to find a bear, or vise/versa, be sure to have at least two other people with you. When the bear begins to show signs of aggression, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. The point being- you need not be faster than said bear, simply faster than the slowest person in your party.
