Unbearable Ping!........................
If a grizzly is close enough for you to punch, you are at your last ditch option.
Every bear has a plan until he gets punched in the nose!
I worked for the US Forest Service clearing trail.
I came to a point in the trail where Huckleberries had completely overgrown the trail.
They were tall.
I put the brush saw on the ground and pulled the cord to start it.
The next few seconds are kind of fuzzy.
A bear exploded out of those bushes.
If that bear had attacked me, I would have been a goner.
They are really fast in short distances.
You will do what you can do to try and survive.
I don’t think Bear-Fu will do you much good though.
I don’t believe it!
if find yourself that close, it might be the best (if not the onliest) option
If I ever decide to go walking -or biking - in Grizzly country, I will punch that charging bear with my 7.62mm semiautomatic, gas-operated shoulder weapon.
Wowee!! Well, if there is nothing else a person can do, do it!!
What an idiotic article. If a bear is trying to kill you, punching it in the nose might be your best chance at survival. You don’t want to think it through, oh how wise it might be or the likelihood that it might work or not.
A human punch would not be very consequential to a grizzly. A year-old grizzly cub would be about 200 pounds and vastly stronger than a human. However, it would be no match for an adult grizzly, boar or sow, who attacked in a determined manner.
If he’s close enough for you to punch in the face you may as well give it a try. Otherwise it’s over. You’re an ursine Twinkie.
If you miss then the bear will bite down on your arm and throw you around like a rag doll.
Look at the 3rd bear in the background:
