a bear safety specialist for years and all I can say is: bear spray is the best defense and lets you and the bear both walk away unscathed. Having heard a myriad of first-hand accounts of maulings and successful escapes, bear spray is the best defense... period. I have it with me when I hike in my area and keep it by the door when bear habitat is near or includes my home.
