Doesn’t actually tell you what to do in a Surprise Close Encounter, just tells the reader to know. If the reader knew, they likely wouldn’t be reading this.
Personally. IF you are somewhere (like I dunno, ALASKA) were it is likely that a (THE LARGEST PREDATOR IN NORTH AMERICA) bear is going to eat you, and you do not have a gun – I am not sure that the bear eating you is the worst possible outcome.
