What you need is a way to make yourself look bigger to intimidate potential ursine attackers. I call it the expand-o-coat and it’s basically an umbrella mechanism sewn into the back of your jacket with extra material that extends out to make you look six feet wide and ten feet tall. It could be built into a backpack as well, possibly with C02 to speed the process and make extra noise. Patent Pending

You could have a million Yoho's and the like trolling this place, and I'd probably still visit. But if you ever get rid of Sliver, see you the #### later.

I love this idea. Honestly. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Wonder if CP will get all up in arms if we test it at the zoo (I think we know the answer to that).

I assume you'll volunteer to test it with all types of bears for effectiveness?

Honestly, I would. I'd want people on standby to shoot bears with instant tranq darts or scoop them up in a net or something, but I feel strongly enough about this that I'd get into the bear cage at the zoo and test this (with the right safety precautions in place). I'd want three drinks and to smoke a bowl first, though.

That is some serious cartoon logic there dude.

Good idea, can you make me look like one of these things?

Well I'm not sure how fast tranq darts work, so that's why I'd want a net in front of me buried under leaves or something to yoink the bear if it got too close.
Over the last 2000 years, the main reasons for brown bear killing in Europe have included habitat destruction due to agriculture and urbanization.
Other reason was persecution by humans due to perceived threats to livestock and safety. Later on also sport hunting, and the demand for bear parts in traditional medicine and rituals. These factors have collectively contributed to a significant decline in brown bear populations across the continent.
Google AI
The European brown bear population declined primarily due to habitat loss and hunting, though climate change may have also played a role. Specifically, human development and agricultural expansion destroyed bear habitats, and hunting, including sport hunting and persecution due to perceived threats to livestock, further reduced bear numbers.
Genetic Bottlenecks:
Some populations have experienced genetic bottlenecks due to small population sizes, leading to a loss of genetic diversity and increased inbreeding.
Genetic bottleneck is a real concern in Alberta. The area around Grassy Mountain is the only part of the Rockies from Yellowstone to Yukon that is not protected. Losing that corridor would be very bad for Grizzlies.

Why not, like a trap door, or maybe a catapult buried under the leaves that'll fling the bear away from you?
Or maybe if you want something safer for the bear (unlikely, I know), maybe you could get a zookeeper to dress up like a sexy lady bear. It gets too close, out comes the zookeeper and the bear will lose all interest in you.

Worth noting, that nowhere in that list is "Killed in self defense by frightened hikers"
So shooting a bear in the face while hiking, is not, for the most part, how humans have dealt with bears for hundreds of years, as Sliver suggested.
