Do you know how to react if you ever encounter a bear in the wild? There are 3 strategies that are easy to remember: identify yourself, stay calm, and move slowly. To identify yourself to a bear you need to talk calmly so the bear knows you are human and not a prey animal. Stay calm, slowly wave your arms and remember that most bears do not want to attack you; they usually just want to be left alone. If the bear is staying in one place, move away slowly and sideways.
