Post; What to do when you get attacked by a bear?


What would all of you do if tou were attacked by a bear. Would you swing out your Uzi or run away screaming like a little girl?

Man if only I had a Barrett .50. Well since I don't, playing dead is the best option, saw it on CNN.

I never heard it called that before but do you really think making love to the bear would work???

i think i would try to look as unthreatening and as friendly as possible, maybe offer to catch it a salmon or another animal to pick on

bears are extremely clumsy animals when it comes to running down hill. Their bodies are designed for climbing, and they must be very careful when going downhill for their balance is thrown off.

Dont get us started on Koalas, but drop bears well now thats a different story. Really not your average attack bear but still could be deadly. If I came up against one of your grizzly bears then I would most likely run away screaming like a little girl those damn things are big plus I dont carry any weapons when I go camping. So running away like a little girl would be the most bestest course of action.



PS. You dont tell no one about running and stuff you keep that one locked away for a rainy day.

With Drop bears, always look up before putting your tent up..
