It’s hard to keep track of the proper procedures for encountering various potentially dangerous animals in the wild. With someone you are supposed to wave your arms and appear threatening, with others you are supposed to back away slowly, etc. While hiking in Yellowstone National Park we came across this not very reassuring sign about bears. Note the instructions for “If a Bear Charges”.
Play dead, cover yourself in honey, climb on a large white plate. Don’t try to run away from us, I mean, ‘the bears.’ Jim Gaffigan – Camping, waking up, and bacon, at about 2:05, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qle-vjHoQa4.
