Eta they say fight back as a last resort but how you gonna hurt that guy


If Unarmed:

Black Bear = Fight Back

Grizzly/ Brown Bear = Play Dead

Otherwise it's Bear Pepper Spray or a 45 cal or bigger handgun. Preferably a pump action shotgun(No Plug) with alternating loads of Double 00 Buckshot and Slugs

A lot of guides in AK carry cut down 12 gauges. The main thing though is not to surprise them and keep good camp discipline so they don't associate you with food. I saw 12 or 13 in the course of a week long backpacking trip and they just ignored me.
