Probably the most frightening of experiences with an attacking animal is a confrontation with a bear. If you do come across a bear, you should obviously not approach it. Remember, you're in his habitat, not yours.

Try to back away slowly while watching the bear. If he starts to follow you, change direction. If the bear continues to come after you after you've changed direction, stand your ground.

Make as much noise as you can. Banging metal together or anything that makes a loud noise may deter the bear. But if not, you need to use your bear repellent pepper spray.

Spray the bear right in the face when it gets close enough. The bear spray shoots 15-20 feet and sprays in a powerful expanding cloud so aiming will be easy.

When the bear retreats, get out of the area he was trying to defend. Alert the rest of your party of the location and report your encounter to the appropriate authorities if possible.

Bear spray is specially formulated to work on bears, has been tested on all species of bears, and is proven to work. Aside from using a large firearm, Guard Alaska bear repellent may be your best defense against an attacking bear.
