- Never turn your back on a bear. They are all malicious gossips and will pounce on the opportunity to talk about you behind your back to the other bears.
- Try not to smell like bear food. Bears love bear food so it helps if you smell like bear poison, which they don't like.
- Don't run because honestly you look kind of silly when you run.
- Keep your distance. Physically but also emotionally. Bears can be unexpectedly cruel in relationships. It’s just their way.
- Especially Greg. That bear sucks.
- Wear bear bells so you don't catch a bear unawares. If you do catch a bear unawares though don’t shout “Bear unawares! Bear unawares!” because bears think that’s annoying.
- If you do come upon a bear you should consider checking its paw for a thorn. If there is a thorn, remove it and you'll likely get to experience a lifelong friendship with the bear (hopefully not Greg). If it doesn't have a thorn though you shouldn't have done that.
- Nuclear weapons have shown promise in recent bear prevention trials.
- Additionally if you have the ability to fly, teleport, blast fire from your hands, or turn into a considerably larger bear then it is recommended you do so.
