You Versus a Bear

[Surtur]

Normally, I'd have a small pepper spray and a Spyderco knife. Unless the spray spooks him - I'm toast unless I get an unlikely knife to the eyeball hit.

Even with my everyday firearm, it would be dicey.

So, I'm fighting this?

Right ho!

I grab some of the heavy gardening tools from the garage.

A pick ax, shovel, and the splitting maul.

My strategy: Hit it with the shovel, hoping to stun it, then finish it off with either the maul or the pick ax.
Or just use the pick ax and hope for a lucky hit to the head.

You're better off with the second strategy.

Unless you're secretly the strongest man in the world, you're not stunning a bear - even a furless bear - with a shovel.

That's what is was thinking, my chances aren't good either way.

Not unusual in my universe - haha! But it's not a bear rated gun. Good for the classic shoot your friend in the foot and run for it.

The bear capable gun is at home. BTW, the everday gun is called the EDC - every day carry. Not a Canadian thing, Sharps but it happens in 43 out of the 50 states in the USA.
