   Yeah, you push the faster friend down. Duh.

2. getlit233 says

   Why not Darwin would disagree…

3. zycamaniac says

   There’s no need to push if they are already slower…

4. aneeta96 says

   Unless you want to save their life. The bear is going to chase after the one that’s running away.

5. highmodulus says

   They sound slow.

6. Klin24 says

   Just run faster than them.

   Seeing a full grown bear, I could probably take their advice and stay calm. If I happened upon a bear cub, I might be a little less calm.

   “Don’t push, just trip.

   The National Park’s pro-bear / anti-hiker stance has been clear since they chose their “forest fire ranger”

    You can’t out run a bear. I do not need to out run a bear, i just need to out run you.

    Yeah you want to wear out the bear while it’s chasing your friend so it doesn’t have the energy to catch you after mauling them to death. Novices.

    I like those people.

13. catfurcoat says

    I’m pretty sure that’s just from their Twitter account, which is intentionally and prolifically cheeky

    They’re dishing out sound multifaceted advice that’s good for the wilderness as well as society.

    This is just slow friend propaganda
