Description
🐻 A grizzly can cover fifty feet in one second. You get about two seconds to decide — and almost every instinct you were born with will tell you the wrong thing.
Forty years with the National Park Service taught me five things you should never do when a bear comes at you. 🌲 Why running turns a bluff charge into a chase. Where your bear spray has to ride on your body. When playing dead saves your life — and the one night it will get you killed.
⚠️ Four of these are in the guidance and in the record. The fifth is where the record runs out, and I will be straight with you about the part nobody has ever explained.
🎒 Learn these at your kitchen table. Not on a trail at forty yards.
👉 Subscribe if this is the talk you would have wanted before your first trip into bear country.
📌 General education only. Always follow current National Park Service guidance for the park you are visiting.
