Has anyone ever had a bear encounter/had to deploy bear spray?
I always go hiking alone. Yesterday I saw some bear signs and got a very bad feeling. I started getting scared and thought “there is no way I can follow the instructions and try to scare the bear away” that actually terrifies me.
In my mind it might provoke the bear to make myself look big and speak to it.
I also don’t even think bear spray would do anything, especially if it’s windy.
Anyone have experience with bears or suggestions?
