Fighting bears isn’t that common of an encounter. I’d be more worried about deer and coyotes or even a single cougar than the off chance of encountering a bear. They will definitely fuck you up but it’s not like they are starting their day to be like “Imma go murder a human” in the same way other urban-adjacent animals are—I think they just wanna get that sweet sweet pick-a-nic basket.

Polar bears will absolutely try to hunt you. They'll eat anything that moves. The only way to deal with a polar bear is a gun.

Moose are not to be trifled with either. If you accidentally put yourself between mama and baby, you’re gonna have a real bad time

You mean there are single cougars in your local area ? I always thought these ads were lying

There are enough of them that I no longer go in certain areas of the forest unless I'm armed. And I always have 2 arms on me at all times.

Maybe the targeted advertising got your location wrong?

And the cocaine. Some of them also want that sweet cocaine.
