How You Can Survive A Brown or Black Bear Attack

I bumped into this via a Google Search and can’t resist linking to it here. It’s from the Art of Manliness Blog. With a title like that, I just had to link it. Heh.

According to Stephen Colbert, bears are the number one threat to America today. Sure, bears look cute when they’re rummaging through a garbage can looking for food, but don’t let their cuteness lull you into carnal security. Bears are “godless killing machines.”

While bear attacks are rare, a man should always be prepared for a bear attack. You never know when you’ll need this information.

How you handle a bear attack depends on the type of bear you encounter- grizzly or black bear. So the first step in surviving a bear attack is to know what kind you’re up against.

So beware hikers! Heed the words of the Art of Manliness or suffer the consequences. By the way I liked the disclaimer at the end:

“Disclaimer

The Art of Manliness does not encourage people to go out and find a bear to practice these skills with. Practicing on your significant other will not do either.”

Heh.
