In 1999, 68-year-old Alaska Gene Moe used a folding knife to kill a Kodiak brown bear – the biggest of the grizzlies – after it attacked him while deer hunting.

Others have beaten off bears with rocks or tree limbs used as clubs. Aggressive action using whatever weapon is available should always be the response to black bears that try to get too close, but greater judgment is required in dealing with grizzly/brown bear given that the aggression shown by many sows might just be aimed at protecting their young.

Awesome!

Thanks for providing that link!

Why not bring a Katana, though?

He knew what the danger was.

Rocks, a pocket-knive and tree-branches were bad decisions.

"Kodiak Black Bears" are in your area, but you don't think enough beforehand to prepare for the situation.

Rocks, tree-branches and pocket-knives are not the solution.

I like everyone else's ideas.

blind luck along the lines of getting hit by a comet or finding an 1828 copy of the Declaration of Independence at a garage sale. Not a plan to emulate.
