If you encounter a brown bear start very slowly backing up. If you encounter a black bear make as much noise as possible and make yourself seem as big as possible.

People argue that many can do more harm than good, so common sense, a rational mind, and fact-proofing have to always come first.
And even if the chances that you and I will ever set foot in the Siberian taiga and will have to survive on eating insects and roots are pretty low, knowledge is power, and survival knowledge is the iron pump of it.īut according to this thread posted on r/AskReddit, not all the common survival tips are actually that useful.
