I feel in my experience, as where I live in Alberta, Canada we have to address a variety of bears on a regular basis including black bears and Grizzlies that you should use wasp spray instead of pepper spray. It is just as brutal in its effectiveness but it has range (as many people don’t want to be to close to a wasp nest or it’s out of reach) as opposed to pepper spray which they have to be within goring range to use effectively. Also in many places where bears can be found mace and pepper spray can be illegal, (Sweden for example) but you can buy wasp spray at any home and garden stores and some convenience stores/gas stations.
Genius, Gordon! Thanks for sharing. That’s a great tip.
They will become dinner too if need be.
The knowledge I use is called shovel.
Eat it bro lol
Not today, I fed
It to the other wildlife that’s around..
Playing dead can get you eaten. It only works if the attack is defensive in nature and the best has no intentions of eating you.
Thats a good sized copper head….
Thats a Water Moccasin better known as a Cottonmouth to some……another problem. Learn snake species before outdoor trips.

I’ve never heard anyone say you should try and out run a bear.
The snakebit one is slightly wrong, a compression wrap can save your life because venom travels through the lymphatic tissues. One should also get to the hospital right away.
Snake bite one is important
I don’t have to outrun the bear. Just you
Good luck
Hard to do with an axe in your head, and you seem to have missed the point
Hope I did him in before it had time to reproduce.
Run downhill ( front legs are shorter and slows them down ) thats common knowledge here
Very good advice good to know
Nothing new. But, darn good info for those that don’t know
Scott, here the land is flat. “A hill is that part of the land that is usually above water level. A pond, swamp, drain is that part of the land that is usually below water level. And lets not mention having to crawl through the brush, vines, thorns, etc.
When you hear the 1 inch thick bushes breaking, you sneak away, at once
Stay home watch tv.
Just be able to outrun your friend.
Good info for those who dont alresdy know thank you for shareing
Don’t drink your urine.
Most deaths from exposure, the victims had the few things on them, that if they would have applied basic thought, they’d have lived…
Shoe string, a couple of sticks, a patch of fabric ripped from their clothes, and some dry tender like crumpled leaves…
The ability to make a fire, is life saving warmth, and a signal for searchers.
Who the hell has ever said to try and outrun a bear????
Having hunted bears for several years I can tell you that running from a bear whether uphill, downhill, or any other direction will only cause you to be eaten.
Boil it, first.
Troy, a 600 Jeffery’s Nitro Express probably would stop a bear. If not, the recoil would move the shooter to a safe space.

You don’t have to out run the bear. You only have to out run the other person you are with.
You don’t need to be faster than the bear just faster than the person with you
Isn’t fresh urine sterile? No need to boil.
Yes urine is sterile. You can use it to treat abdominal wounds when water is short. Never drink it.
Isolate
I have been snake bit by a black racer I got bad real bad sick the only snake you really have to worry about is the coral snake if you are bitten buy a venomous snake in North America you have a above average chance of living if you are in good shape an you don’t panic
Black racer? Never seen on any list……..
The musk make you sick?
No the bacteria in the mouth I have been hit by 10 or 12 snakes trapping beaver an hunting in the swamp of central Mississippi have never had vinous snake hit me hard enough to poison me but the bacteria in there mouth will make you sick
Oh yeah, like the idiots that kept telling me to watch out for water moccasins in the Wabash river…25 years fishing this river and NEVER SEEN ONE. Hopefully they went mushroom hunting next and ate whatever they found…. What’s a little more brain damage? Lol
When a bear is in charging range…. It can be on you before you have time to draw…
If 1 is n range, ill already have the barrel pointed at him ready jus n case
Bears suck at running downhill.
I’ve heard using electric shock causes snake Venom to become depolarized preventing it from causing the skin to rot if done right away. Any body else hear this?
