- if you see a bear from more than 100 m (350 ft) you should back away slowly, talk calmly to the bear so he knows you are a human and be sure to have a tree in mind that you could climb in the last second, if necessary. (What do you do when you meet a bear?)
- you should never look a bear in the eyes
- you should always carry bear spray and a whistle
So, what do you do when you have broken all those rules?
Pray.
In my last post I began the story of when I came face to face with a black bear this summer. If you missed it, check it our here. If you read it already, I will give you a little reminder of the story.
