Bears are among nature's most majestic creatures, and seeing one in the wild is an unforgettable experience. Get too close, however, and your encounter with a bear can be more terrifying than awe-inspiring. Fortunately, despite humans' continued encroachment into “bear country," attacks on people are rare, and fatalities are even rarer. Still, bears are immense, powerful animals, and any meeting between bears and humans can potentially turn deadly if you're unprepared.
Make noise regularly, avoid bear tracks, stay away from dying or decaying animals, leave pets at home, bring
, and ask the park ranger for information.
If you see a bear, calmly side-step away with your eye on the animal, make yourself big, and try to understand the bear's motivation (so you can act accordingly).
Ward bears off by making regular noise, either with a bear bell or by traveling as a group.
If you can prevent an encounter with a bear, the rest of the steps are unnecessary. Bears are reclusive creatures, and they generally prefer to steer clear of humans. You can help them to do so by announcing your presence when you're exploring their home environment: talk loudly,
, or carry "bear bells" so bears have time to escape you.
There are very few records of bears ever attacking a group of people, so stick together.
When alone, making noise or having a bear bell is a near essential, especially if there have been reports of bears nearby.
Keep your eyes up for signs of bears, taking detours as needed.
Stay calm, and do not ever run.
Running signals to the bear that you are prey worth chasing, and they are incredibly fast animals. Screaming or yelling will spook the bear into believing it is threatened. As hard as it may seem, keeping cool, calm, and collected will always be your best bet to avoid a bear attack.
Keep your distance, stepping sideways away and keeping your eyes on the bear.
If you see a bear from a long distance (greater than 300 feet), leave the area. If you need to continue on, make a wide detour around the bear. If the bear has not seen you, do not disturb it: retreat calmly and quietly, and then make ample noise when you are well away to prevent future chance encounters. But if you're up close and the bear notices you, stay calm and keep your distance, shuffling sideways to avoid tripping and keeping your eyes up.
Announce that you're human by speaking in a low, calm voice.
It doesn't matter what you say, but say something as you retreat to the sides, keeping an eye on the bear. Your goal is to communicate to the bear that you are human (i.e. that you can
Stand tall, even if the bear charges you.
Running cues the bear to chase you, and it will always be fast enough to catch up. Do not be aggressive, but do not crouch down, play dead or otherwise show fear or vulnerability. If the bear charges you, muster all your courage and stay where you are: the charge is most likely a bluff, and if you stand your ground the bear will turn away.
Sidestep advances if they're closing in within a relatively short distance (<8 feet).
Bears and other 4 legged animals have a wider center of gravity, and hence can't make turns quite as sharp as you or me. Don't just run in circles however, but if engaged in an open area (plains or field), do not run directly away from the bear as they're generally faster. Move left and right where applicable to force the bear to change direction. Do not abuse the bear, however, as it drains vital energy.
Only play dead with brown bears or grizzly bears after they've made contact.
If the bear (other than a black bear) is attacking you in self-defense, you can put it at ease by playing dead and lying completely flat on the ground. Do so only after the bear makes contact with you or tries to do so. To play dead, lie flat on the ground protecting your vital parts with the ground, and your arms protecting your neck with your hands laced behind the neck. If you have a backpack on, keep it on to defend your back. Keep your legs together and do not struggle.
