I was hiking with my sister in Yellowstone a couple of years ago in this very lonely track down the Yellowstone canyon. I remember till this very day the words that my sister whispered then: “I think I see a bear!”

We totally freaked out and started running as fast as we can. When we later told the story to a park ranger, he told us we were lucky to be alive because the worst thing you can do when you see a bear is run. How to survive a bear attack?

• Bears can run over 30 miles per hour which means in quick calculation: 44 feet per second. Olympic athletes can’t run that fast!
• If the bear does not notice you, make a big detour around the bear.
• If he did see you, turn back and walk slowly – away from the bear.
• That climbing up the tree thing – go ahead. But know that almost all bears can climb as well as you can, if not better.

If nothing works – play dead. Really. Lie face down with hands over your head and don’t move. Bear experts say the fighting and resistance only makes the bear angry and you don’t want to make the bear angrier than he is already.



Bears don’t really want to eat you and many hikers encounter bears and enjoy the amazing experience from a safe distance.

It’s summer. The water temperature and levels are just about right. It’s time for some white water rafting.

How to stay safe during the Hike

• Don’t wander off alone. Stay in trail so you will be able to get assistance if something happens.
• Enjoy animals from far. Don’t try to feed wild animals – you might end up as the main course.
• Keep a steady hiking rhythm that can help you prevent exhaustion and make the hike more enjoyable.
• Stop to get some rest in regular intervals. 10 minute break for every hiking hour is recommended.
• Even if the stream looks better than bottled water, don’t be tempted to drink, unless you purify the water first.
• If you’re planning on camping, make sure you know what the authorities think about it. Some places require a camping permit and it could be illegal to light up a fire in the wilderness.

What to do in case of Emergencies?

• Be ready for emergencies and stay calm.
• Contact emergency and rescue services immediately.
• If you can not contact emergency services, leave the victim with a friend and go back for help.
• See if the victim is conscious and responsive. Check breathing and make sure his airway is open.
