How long can you survive without food?
You're out fishing in the backcountry when a sudden crash in the bushes spins you around and you find yourself face to face with a big bear. It rears up to full height, bares its teeth and roars. Then it rushes you. What would you do to survive this encounter?
Stand as tall as possible, wave your arms and roar back at the bear in an attempt to convince it that you're a threat to be avoided
Lie face-down on the ground, cover your head with your arms and play dead
Climb a nearby tree, preferably one that is small enough that it won't support the weight of the bear
Dash across the river, because bears are often afraid of crossing a current
