"Pepper spray, for example, may work temporarily if you get the bear in the eyes"
"You still have to leave the area (not fleeing - that says you are prey)."

So if one were to spray an aggressive bear directly in the eyes, what should the procedure be? Calmly grab essentials (if possible) and walk away? Begin running when out of sight?
