I’m Watson Lake I got some great advice on what to do if you’re ever attacked by a grizzly bear (from a woman who survived an attack 50 years ago)

Apparently you should curl up into the fetal position, and clasp your hands behind your neck. Keep yourself curled up tight like an armadillo while the bear proceeds to bat you about trying to understand what this weird smelly lump is. The bear will eventually get tired and leave.

True story.

So now you know. (May you never need this knowledge)
