Molly and I have noticed a disturbing trend around the house the past several days. Something has been getting into my garbage cans and from the looks of things, Sammy the Bear might be back. I decided to Google surviving a black bear encounter and the artofmanliness.com had the most sound advice. The first thing they suggested was bear pepper spray. If none was available they suggested to make lots of noise. They also advised to not climb a tree that black bears are excellent climbers. Lastly they did advise to fight back.
The big question I have is does any of this come from personal experience or is this all guess work. My strategy of running like a girl, while not exactly or reeking of bravado, is probably not a good idea. Not to mention that the bear could easily chase us down and smack all of the ass off of us. I hope not to put any of the strategies in action as Sammy can have the night and I will take the day and we can both live in peace.
