As the saying goes: >If it's black, fight back; if it's brown, lie down; if it's white, goodnight! Actually black bears are fairly harmless except for the 61 people they have killed in North America since 1900. Grizzlies are 20x more dangerous. I always carry a fixed 4" blade knife on my hip in grizzly country. They say if the bear doesn't stop mauling and you sense this could be the end, a jab into their head or face might trigger a self-protection instinct, as it did for this lucky guy who used his pocket knife: https://www.montanaoutdoor.com/2019/08/watch-canadian-man-fights-off-grizzly-mauling-with-pocket-knife/ https://www.montanaoutdoor.com/2019/08/watch-canadian-man-fi...
