Curious is all from people with real life situations. Everyone has their opinion and I don't know if there is a right or wrong but I find it interesting in each situation what people think afterwords

I was bluff charged by big black while working with my colleague around Hinton few years ago. We were making lots of noise. We had air horn (didn't work at all), bear bangers (shot twice, didn't work). We were ready to spay (both had sprays). No shotguns (stupid company policy!). It stopped at about 5 meters. We were 15 meters off the road, retreated and jumped to our quads.
When I asked our safety woman (never been in bushes I guess) how we can protect ourselves in remote areas, she said that we watched bear awareness video.
