What better way to learn survival knowledge than by a game?

How it works:  I'll ask a question. For each correct question, you get a point. For each wrong question, you lose a point. First person to 10 points wins the round and gets to ask the next round's questions.

Question 1:

You need help, so you create a ________ shape on the ground for planes passing over to see.

(Questions can be open-ended, fill in the blank, multiple choice, however you choose).

I'd say a giant burning SOS assuming you have the room to do it.

And if you have less room?

A smaller SOS. :D

LOL.. I'll give you a point for that. SOS will do. So will making a V shape :)

OK. so I've decided to ask a series of Bear Questions, but to make it fair for those who aren't on at the same time I am, I'm going to have this added rule. Answer one question at a time. After you answer a question, wait for someone else to answer one question before posting an answer. If no one answers in 24 hours, you can answer the question.

1. How do you avoid being attacked by a Black Bear?
2. If attacked by a Black Bear, what should you do?
3. How do you escape from a Grizzly Bear?
4. How do you escape a bear trap?
5. How do you react if you encounter a Polar Bear?
6. How do you eat Polar Bear meat?

Questions can be answered in any order. Remember:  1 at a time. :)

1. How do you avoid being attacked by a Black Bear?
Answer: Always have a slower running companion with you. :D

 :o
2. If attacked by a Black Bear, what should you do?
Answer: Kill it before it get to you, and hope it berry sessions.  ;D   
I do like bear meat when they have been eating berry for a months or so. 

OK to answer #1 seriously, you make yourself as big as possible and make as much noise as possible.
All this assuming the bear is looking you over, otherwise, back away slowly.
Believe it or not, an umbrella opened and closed real fast while pointed at the bear confuses it and thinks you are bigger than it originally thought.
That, or it thinks you're a complete raging lunatic and wants no part of you...

#1.) To avoid Black Bear attack, don't sneak up on them. In Bear aware areas, use a bell or make noise when you hike. Store food properly, don't eat food in your tent.

#5)
I would react with Amazement. My plane just crashed twenty miles from a North canadian town and I was praying for food and a fur coat, and all I had was this .45.

OK, I'll give both Solar and Eyesabide a point for Question 1.

Leader List
Solar 2
Eyesabide 1

Hehe.. and Walkstall, any specifics on how you'll fight the bear? Assume that you don't have a weapon with you (makes things more interesting).

I don't leave home with out it.    It has been a way of life for over 60 years now.    ;D   

Haha.. Good preparation, but it's a no brainer to shoot the bear :P  So let's pretended there was an accident and some how your gun doesn't work. What now?

Well now, I would just use my wifes gun as it is bigger then my gun. 

Hahah.. you don't seem to want to play... There was an avalanche and you are now separate from your wife and your gun and her gun. A bear is attacking you. What should you do?
