Could ya trap a bear ???

Depends on the type of bear. A black bear is going to be easier to trap than a brown.

With the resources that a normal person is carrying on their body, I doubt that it would be easy or worthwhile. If I was still mobile, I'd rather haul ass than hope a bear will fall for my spear trap or deadfall. For those who don't know, a bear's sense of smell is several times better than a bloodhound. Getting all sweaty digging your pit or raising your deadfall is going to leave scents that the bear will pick up.

Here's two pics of a 1000-1200 lb. brown bear taken in Alaska (not me). Think again about the size of the your pit, the sharpness of wooden stakes or the weight of the deadfall you'll be needing. If it were me, all my "stakes" would say 7mm Rem. magnum on them.

I was initially thinking survival skills for this scenerio (ie, what to do when a bear is chasing you down), but now I'm thinking hunting.

Carry on. :)
 
I can think of is.... Predator movie...wire net. You can pull up 6 or more bags of 100kg and connect all together in 1 single trigger mechanisms by youself!
 
Do ya have a claymoore in your pack I could barrow? If not we need the Ewoks to make one of them Taun Taun crushing trap made from the huge logs the smash the target between them when they trip the trigger.
 
hey we could probably nuke the entire northern hemisphere from space hhhooo boy thatd show those rascally bears.
 
Good tread, Lots of fun brainstorming ideas going on.
But if we could bet on the out come, I'd pretty much put my money on the bear every time. :rolleyes:

And to answer the Q. No I'm pretty sure I could not trap a bear:p
