  1. First, DON'T RUN, Make yourself as large as possible, hands and arms waving in the air and make loud noises, if it attacks roll into the fetal position and play dead.


  2. Your best chance of survival is to climb a tree faster than your friend. Don't run, but move away from the bear. If the bear catches you curl up into a fetal position and no matter what play DEAD. If you move or cry out you are a threat to the bear.

  3. play dead or stay extremely still. Bears won't attack for no good rerason. Don't make any sudden movements.

  4. sit still and make no noise at all.  usually that makes them less interested in you.

  5. Don't mess with a grizzly bear

    Their is no clear cut way on how to survive a grizzly attack, because this is a highly unpredictable animal. Grizzly's should be avoided in the wild or at least be appreciated from afar. Should you encounter one by mistake, follow these steps and hopefully you'll survive to tell the story.

    Instructions

    1.If you see a grizzly before it sees you, try to quietly move out of its vision and then head in the opposite direction. You don't want to start yelling at it and try to scare it away because grizzlies don't fear humans. Chances are that you'll only agitate it and the bear will run at you instead of away from you.

    2.If you get caught off guard by a grizzly and it decides to attack you, you can either crawl into a tight ball and play dead, or if you have a gun or rifle, shoot it.

    3.If you try to play dead, cover your head and neck with your arms and if you have a backpack keep it on to shield you from teeth and claws. If the bear notice you're not putting up a fight it might leave you alone because you no longer pose a threat to it. However, if it keeps going after you like you are its next meal, start fighting back with whatever you can find and try to act aggressive instead of panicky (although that's probably easier said than done).

    4.A good thing to carry with you while occupying bear populated areas is a bear repellent pepper spray. It is a more human way of fighting off a bear than shooting it, but it's not always as effective.

    5.If you have a gun or rifle with you and a grizzly tries to attack you, shoot to kill. A wounded bear is even more dangerous than an angry one. Aim for the heart to end the attack quickly.

    6.Mama bear and her cubs If you kill the bear, notify the authorities, such as park rangers, of the incident. Especially if the bear was a female with cubs because the cubs will not survive without their mother in the wild.

    Tips & Warnings

    # If a bear comes after you without trying to scare you away first, it is considering you as prey, so fight back or try to climb a tree if possible.

    # If you see a bear with cubs, be even more cautious because the mother is extremely protective of her young.

                                 As far as possible try to avoid hiking in their natural habitat. It's safe for u n ur friend.....

  6. Well let me tell you a story.  The other day I asked my friend if he wanted to go for  a hike where a Grizzly had been sighted the week before.

    "Gee what if we see the bear?" he said.

    "If we see the bear, we'll just run away-- no problem."

    "But the bear can run faster than we can"

    "Oh I'm not worried about running faster than the bear. I'm just not absolutely sure if I can run faster than you"
