What do you do if you encounter a bear?

I like to pat them on their head and rub their belly...

They seem to enjoy that... ;)

I dunno..I have been reading through all the bear advice and that seems to be a bad idea :D

Actually..I think the gist of all the advice is..."hope it doesn't notice you" This is not reassuring.

I think Jeffrey meant he is a bear and he wants his head patted/belly rubbed. ;)

Give it a big hug, it really wants it.

Take an AK47 to protect you against bear encounters.

And as for obtaining an AK47, i can think of three, um...contacts, of mine who could get me one. Or a similar weapon equally as effective.

Try to get a large tree between the Bear and yourself, They get bored playing chase the Human around the tree.

You must become one with the bear.

...on second thought that's not a good idea. So I'll suggest the best thing to do is run really fast away from it.
