Honestly don’t be an idiot, be loud and make yourself big, and for most bears you’ll be fine.
If you come across a pissed off mother grizzly with cubs or a male grizzly during the feeding season in Alaska you’re grade A fucked unless you have a 12 gauge or a god killer.
Bears are usually more curious or afraid of us. If you’re not leaving bacon grease out at your campsite or wearing AXE ™ while in the backcountry you’ll be fine.
