What should you do when a bear attacks you?

Answer 1

run like hell dude Just try to outrun your companion! Option 2: run downhill if possible. The large shoulder muscles of the bear make it difficult for them to run downhill. If it is the type of bear that does not climb trees, you can escape that way also and wait for the bear to become bored and leave.

Answer 2

That all depends on the bear. With grizzlies and brown bears, playing dead is your best option of staying alive. But with more aggressive bears like with black bears, you MUST fight back with anything you have: knife, stick, fist, feet, backpack, etc. Hit the nose, holler like mad, anything you can to make the bear reconsider eating you.

Number one rule if a bear attacks you: DO NOT RUN!!

Answer 3

There are several things you can try, but any of them are dependent upon a number of variables.

Try these:

• make your self as big as you can and don't be scared because bears can smell fear
• If you are at the top of a hill, run away down the hill. When the bear chases you then goes toes over nose past you, lock it up and run back up the hill and hope he has lost interest in you when he reaches the bottom.
• Lay down and play dead and hope he isn't hungry.
• Climb a tree and hope it isn't a brown bear (not always easy to tell, as brown bears sometimes pass through a black fur stage, and keep in mind that grizzlies are just big brown bears)--brown bears climb trees.

What ever you do, hope the bear does not have cubs, is just out of hibernation, or is not in heat or rut. Any of these makes any wild animal more aggressive.
