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.

  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?

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.

  Tbh, even if you have a gun, your odds are not 100%. You’re firing at essentially a biological tank, small caliber fire might cause pain and eventually kill a polar bear with non-vital shots, but it’s not going to stop one barreling down on you.
  
  Realistically, you need to be a decent enough marksmen to aim for a vital point, all while making your will saves because a giant monster is charging you. I’m pretty sure most humans are still fucked.

    The ancient drawing was by a caveman trying to convince his caveman bros that he could totally take a polar bear.

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

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

This is what a bear would say to lull us into a false sense of security.
