But then if you're in the tree Tarzan might confuse it for a plant and use it to swing around

Seriously any other ideas on how to beat these animals

on my many mountaneering expeditions i've listened to people that on their many expeditions said to have eaten berries from a bush less than 3 feet from a bear. Bears don't attack unless their cubs are in danger/around or if it;'s wintertime and they just woke up. (generally speaking).

Whirlysplat: Newsflash for you. There are 30 million of us here in Canada, and none of us worries about bear attacks! You will be fine. And like someone elso posted, you don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than at least one of your friends. :-)
Good luck.

Sorry for the back to back posts, but Whirlysplat....Where in Canada are you going?

Manitoba, I'd still like some self defence tips though bears are scary, thats why we hunted them to extinction in the uk.

There's slim pickin's for physically beating one of those animals. You could try to gain the animal's trust, get in close, then try to slit its throat. Otherwise you gotta make a trap.

So maybe bringing food, or seeing if it had a thorn in its paw is the way to go 😕 I heard Bears like to dance do you think the speakers for my Ipod would help. Maybe play them something funky? 😕

With prep time I'll certainly try to build up a decent trap to slow down or hurt the legs of the Bear/Gorilla.
We gotta consider that a Gorilla can lift around 2 Tons, that's a lot of strenght against that of a man.It getting to his throat means you must climb on his back and slice the throat quickly, cause if he catch you or hit you, it will be almost the end, the Gorilla is also very fast on the ground but with the surprise element it's possible to outsmart him, especially cause his legs are short, and severally injuring them may mean the victory.
The bear on the other hand, isn't much of a problem, he can slice you, but not punch you as a gorilla can, it can backhand you if we talk of smashing damage, and he's not fast as a gorilla in climbing on trees, so I don't even need a trap for him.

You know what. Bring lots o' food. That way the bear might eat that and then you can run. Don't throw rocks at it unless you absolutely have to. It is tempting though.

Wait...you say that you can kill an bear with an knife? It can kill you before it is dead, even if you have stabbed it multiple times. An bear can hit you many times.

how many times do you reckon a bear could hit you Darkcrawler?

Wait...I meant to say that an bear can hit you very fast. The speed was clocked somewhere...

get as far away as possible, hopefully somewhere the other can't reach you and then use that nifty little mobile phone you have.

ps: if that doesn't work, try to convine them you're high on colesterole

the bad kind

A person doesn't stand a cat in hell's chance against those two animals.

You might be able to outrun a gorilla, but unlikely a bear.

Both of them have outrageous muscles and can rip people apart.

Both of them get REALLY mad when fighting.

You're unlikely to get attacked though lol.

But if you are, your only chance is a gun really...
