Default Survive hand to hand against a bear with these weapons?
Hi:

If one were to utilize these weapons and clothing against a bear (not a Grizzly), what are the odds of winning?

Don't know about bears, but I think these would be good for 'discussing' a lack of a passing signal in T5-T8 when you are back in the paddock...

My chances? Somewhere between slim and none, I would think. Unless I were sneaking up on it.

"Survive hand to hand against a bear with these weapons?"

If the bear has those weapons what do I have?

Before going up against a grizzly with those, it's best practice to carefully file down any sharp edges or seams, and apply a generous coating of Vaseline.
