1. Never hike alone. Hike with a partner.
2. Always carry a loaded .22 caliber pistol.
3. If a bear charges pull out the pistol and shoot your partner in the kneecap.
Three simple steps.

Remember, you don't have to outrun the bear, just your friends.

Tie little bells to your shirt/jacket to scare the bears away, and also carry pepper spray just in case.

You can tell the difference in bears by the scat.
Black bear scat smells fruity and has berries in it.
Grizzly scat smells like pepper and contains bells.

When I took a hike at Glacier NP I was so hoping I would NOT see one and I didn't.

This is the same reason scuba divers carry a knife if a shark shows up stab your dive partner and while the shark is having your partner for lunch just swim away Howie

If you recycle a joke older than dirt, expect some twists to come right back at ya.
