How to survive a bear attack: Brown, black, and polar bears

Bear running through the water

If you're a serious outdoorsman, you'll eventually encounter a bear. The experience can be daunting, to say the least. I moved to B.C. from the U.K. a few years back and let me tell you, the first time I saw a bear fronting up to me as I came running around a corner, I seriously considered my future as a trail runner — not to mention my immediate future in general. You do get used to bears, but that doesn't mean they no longer pose a risk. Mostly, bears will turn tail and head off, but for the occasion that this doesn't happen, you need to know what to do if you see a bear and survive a bear attack if you want to keep hitting the trail.
How to avoid a bear attack
It's all well and good knowing what to do if a bear does attack, but there are usually steps you can take to avoid the encounter altogether. It's great to see these majestic menaces in their natural habitat, but seeing them from a distance and not having an incident is the best way to do this.

Step 1: Bears are commonly attracted to campsites for the same reason they're drawn to towns: free food. Hanging a bear bag is something every would-be wildlife camper should know how to do properly. Proper campsite management is essential in bear country. This means tidying up after yourself, not taking food — or toothpaste — into your sleeping quarters with you, and hanging your food safely out of reach. Remember to dispose of garbage and clean your pans, too.
