When Crossing Paths With a Bear Here’s What To Do

  • As a survivalist, it becomes habit to prepare for the unexpected. You pack your bag with essentials and know how to do everything from start a fire to build a shelter. Those are the things we can control.

      s**t yourself. It won’t stop the bear from killing you, but at least it won’t enjoy its meal!

      Run up to it and kiss it. Bears are friendly and just want to cuddle.

      I don’t care to head into any woods with any one that has no experience in the woods.
      That alone can bring you more trouble than you need!
      Damn near got sprayed once by a lot of skunks before of a certain person that started yelling skunk!
      After that stupid yelling it was as though skunks started coming from all around as though they came to protect each other!

      Attempt to get out of the path and if you spot cubs, get healthy distance… Also, have a firearm ready

      No matter your precautions, the best advice I was given was, if it comes down to it, fight like your life depends on it…because it does.

      Aim for the head; large animals like bears can take lots of punishment to “center mass.”

      Shoot it twice, stab it, all while it mauls you. Have it die on your body, then have your party leave you for dead and crawl back to base camp and get revenge on the MF that left you.
