I’m more worried about ticks and mosquitoes than I am about bears.
Unless you try to sneak up on one, or approach the cubs the bear will almost always run away.
I’ve heard it said that if the bear doesn’t back down, the thing to do is make yourself as big as possible (stand erect, put arms over head), and then scream at the bear. This tip courtesy of Discovery Channel.
And most important, you could never outrun a bear. The best you could do is outrun the people you’re with. 😉
