Lay down on your stomach, put your hands over the back of your neck,
and play dead.
You may be swiped a few times before the bear moves away and be
bruised and bloodied,
but you will come out alive.

They also say when going through the forest make your presence known
so bears will have time to notice you and move away, instead of
getting startled which can trigger an attack

Wear small bells that allow the grizzly to hear you approach.
This will prevent you from surprising them.
Carry pepper spray to attempt to ward off grizzlies.
Know the signs of bears to be aware of their presence.
Black bear droppings usually contain berries or seeds.
Grizzly bear droppings will contain small bells and smell like pepper.
