Hungry Bear
I have been getting some helpful advice on how to protect myself from being attacked by bear.
Park officials are advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and golfers to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the area. People are advised to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but not startle a bear unexpectedly. They also recommend carrying pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of bear activity, and to know the difference between black bear and grizzly bear droppings. Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berries and possibly squirrel fur. Grizzly bear droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray.
Thanks for thinking of me, but I think I will try a different plan of attack! How about you? What strategies have you found successful in dealing with hungry grizzly bears?

My method is simple. I just go camping with someone who runs slower than me. (Since I can't run that fast, I don't go camping where there are bears!)

You could try punching the bear like this lady did.
