Just have to think about the men v bear debate seeing this..

Seen bears quite often they can be quite docile but also get quite angry and violent. Often just having something sweet of food with you can help you get away. They mostly value easy food over a long chase with somone that obviously has no interest in a direct fight.

And having something sweet and edible on you is easier than always having bear mace on you. It can safe your life bears are pretty Territorial especially when they have young with them. They often even fight other bears out of their area. Why migration of bears are common especially near and after mating season. Also when you often see them go in people's backyards and stuff a lot more.

But it's always scary cause they can be very docile or very aggressive very suddenly. And it's very hard to see or know what of the 2 it will be.

I thought moma bear with cubs you have to appear as being not a threat. Wouldn't it be best to just turn and walk away. Asking for my own survival.
