To start with, it’s a bad idea to mess with bears a all
But bears aren’t generally very violent guys. Unless they’re trying to eat you or you’re pissing them off they’ll probably just let you chill. With black bears you can pretty easily scare them by shouting and waving your arms, and if that doesn’t work you’re actually supposed to sock them in the nose. That parts really sensitive and they’ll eventually run off.
Grizzly bears are more aggressive but still kinda chill. They usually steer clear of people, but if one goes up to you just play dead and they’ll go away.
Polar bears will actually just murder you but I doubt most of us have to worry about them.
Also, under no circumstance should you ever run from a bear. If it’s a black bear scare them off if it’s a brown bear play dead.
