Great tips! I especially like the one about playing dead with Black bears. Gee, don't black bears eat dead things?
Yeah, at that point, I think you want to just tuck into a ball, and make yourself look like the smallest meal there. They will probably eat the guide or one of your friends in this case, leaving you to escape.a guy i work with who happens to be a dwarf went backpacking in montana and all the guides told people if they encounter a bear that they should raise there arms and attempt to make themselves look larger then what they actually are - he said he looked at the guide and was like WHAT ABOUT ME?
