but I don't understand how "playing dead" will deter a (non hungry) bear from swiping ya butt cheeks off.

i think the theory is if you dont fight back the bear will lose interest if hes not hungary

Most encounters with bears, they are just as surprised as we are in that moment. Attacks are either territorial or predatory. The "play dead" tactic is for those instances where its territorial and you want to be submissive and make yourself as little a threat as possible for the bear to be " :rudy: He ain't on shyt." However playing dead with a hungry bear on the hunt you actually do the exact opposite and be aggressive as possible, otherwise when you play dead he's just ":leon: Oh forreal? 'Preciate the plate you made breh. :takedat:"

Now you have me curious. Have you ever been in this situation?

BTW, I think you're probably right about having a weapon on you. The problem is, in some states, it's illegal to have said weapon on you, and park rangers and camping sites usually require that you check those or don't bring them at all unless it's a permit-and-carry state.

Yeah, I was raised in the GHETTO

That's a jungle in itself

I don't follow rules in the woods

If I'm attacked I'm shooting

I love animals and nature in general

But I only pet the domesticated ones

I'll look at them Wild Animals from a distance

Or from the safety of my computer screen
