      Most species is bear don’t hunt people. You see one, you back away slowly, and you’re good. If there’s food in your, you drop it. They’d rather eat your granola bar than you.

      Well, if it’s a black bear, shouting and waving your arms will normally chase it off.

        Uh, it doesn’t? It makes the person choosing the bear look like someone whose life consists of entertainment.
