• Talk to the bear in a low, calming voice. Sultry, even. Note: Do not blow in either ear of the bear.
• If a bear runs toward you, you're pretty much hosed. Your best hope is that the bear is after a larger, tastier person standing behind you.
• Unless you are Bernard Lagat, do not attempt to outrun the bear.
• Do not throw anything at the bear, unless it is a spear and you know what you're doing.
• If you have pepper spray, use it. If you can't get it out until the bear is upon you, use it on yourself. If it turns out you are wielding pepper spray to avoid being eaten by a large, friendly black Lab, use it first on all witnesses, then on yourself.
