>>1985278Black bears are scavengers as I'm sure you're well aware. They aren't the "chase after an animal" type, they're the "avoid any unnecessary confrontation that could hurt my chances of survival" type. Make a lot of casual noise on the trail, even whistle and shit.
I run into black bears all the time where I live, they run off at the first sound of trouble. Just don't be close; they could choose fight over flight if they deem you an unavoidable threat.
If there are cubs as well you GOTTA make noise and stick only to the predictable trail, because any advice you read can go out the window if the momma thinks you're a threat to the cub. God forbid you run into the cub first, back away the exact way you came.
Lastly and most universal, carry some goddamn bear spray on your belt and be ready to use it. If worse comes to worse, getting that irritant on the bear will make it lose interest faster and more concerned with its own survival than your demise.
