I was hiking with my daughter in the spring and we ran into a very grumpy Momma bear with two cubs. We retreated in opposite directions and took another trail. A half hour later, we ran into Mamma with two cubs again, pretty sure it was the same bear. We retreated and climbed a tree.
I sat on a branch lower than hers with my ka-bar knife (anti-gun state) until an hour before sunset, a little nervous but mostly enjoying the relaxing chat with her. She asked how I thought I would do against a bear (back when she was young and “Daddy” could do almost anything), and I told her perhaps not well but still well enough that the bear would rather go away since we were no threat. I am VERY glad I never had to find out.
