Here Are Some Suggestions On How to Survive
- Have your weapon ready. Whenever leaving the science station always carry a rifle with the magazine loaded.
- Assess the situation. Most polar bears don't think of humans as lunch but if they are hungry or protecting cubs they can be very unpredictable and attack without warning.
- Make yourself visible and make noise. Get to high ground if possible so that you can see the bear.
- Fire flare shots so that they land between you and the bear.
- If attacked by an aggressive bear, shoot with the intent to kill. Aim for the chest. Keep shooting until the bear lies still.
