If you can avoid it, it's best to stay away from a bear. If you ever should encounter one in the wild it's likely the bear will be afraid of you unless they sense you have food or you come across one of their cubs. In those occasions, it's likely that a bear will become threatening.
So if you come across a bear how are you supposed to act? It's best to give the bear as much space as possible… without running away. Black bears are less likely to cause you harm but it's not always the same case with a grizzly bear.
It's best just to back away slowly, make yourself appear large, and get out of their turf.
If a bear shows up out of the blue you can also try speaking in a calm voice while slowly backing away. And if the bear attacks — which you should hope to God he does not — then fight back!
If you have bear spray or another weapon then hopefully you can use this to get away.
On the video after the break check out a guy who was just hanging out by a stream when all of a sudden a bear decides to come over to him. What happens during this encounter! This is a crazy video you can't miss!

That bear was not putting out the “i am going to eat you” vibe at all. Seemed to be more curious about how the fishing was goin. Offer him a beer and carry on.
But keep that 12g handy in sace he gets silly.
Balls of steel!
I’m happy he came and sat down. I won’t click your bait.
Ain’t that the ………!
Maybe it was Kenai, incarnate in the flesh from Walt Disney’s “Brother Bear” come to say hello? Hahaha
Bear just wanted to be curious.
I’ve seen this before. Coolest video ever… But it would still scare the ever loving crap out of me!
Is my jaw going to drop….or am I going to be shocked, or am I going to be amazed…..
Yeah that would be amazing and I would enjoy that, as I’m holding my can of bear spray in one hand a .44 super Blackhawk in the other.
Definitely odd behavior

Ha. Anyone of the bears in that creek could’ve made a meal out of that dude. Crayyyyyyzeeee
Ha, I grew up in the mountains, one time after a night of drinking, we awoke to a bear sitting on my friends legs sniffing his face because he was snoring. Of course we knew how to handle the situation, growing up in bear country, so it was just a fun story. It could have been bad had it been people who didn’t know how to camp with bears in the area.
