Six percent of people think they can beat a grizzly bear

I don't know if this is true or not, but I think I read ages ago that you have to handle an encounter with a black bear completely different than a brown (I think for one you stand tall, open your jacket, growl and try to intimidate the bear, and for the other that is a challenge to come fork you up)

That's an old wives tale. The best advice is to slowly walk away. Do not run. It triggers the predator instinct. Bears will
avoid humans most of the time if they remain calm.

Once again if you are fully charged by any bear with bad intentions, you're dead. The most dangerous are females
protecting cubs.
