Always hike with a male friend and carry a 22 cal pistol.
when the bear charges shoot your friend in the knee so you are guaranteed to outrun them.
WA state humor.

and the bear answers, “ a-yuh!” you have the right bear!

“You also make sure that you can run faster than your friend ...”

Also, have a good handgun in case your hiking partner is faster than you.
