Introduction
Encountering a brown bear can be a frightening experience, but it’s important to stay calm and take the right actions to protect yourself. Here are some steps to take if you see a brown bear charging at you:
- Try to remain calm and stand your ground. Do not run away, as this may trigger the bear’s predatory instincts and cause it to chase you.
- Make yourself look bigger by spreading your arms and holding your backpack or jacket above your head. This may intimidate the bear and make it less likely to attack.
- Speak calmly and firmly to the bear, using a low and assertive voice. This may help to reassure the bear that you are not a threat.
- Slowly back away from the bear while keeping an eye on it. Do not turn your back on the bear, as this may be perceived as a threat.
- If the bear continues to approach you, use bear spray if you have it. Aim for the bear’s face and eyes, and be prepared to use multiple bursts if necessary.
- If the bear attacks, use any available objects (such as rocks, sticks, or a backpack) to defend yourself. Aim for the bear’s eyes and nose, as these are sensitive areas that may cause the bear to retreat.

Remember, prevention is key when it comes to bear encounters. Avoid hiking alone, make noise to alert bears of your presence, and carry bear spray as a precaution.
