Seriously guys, are you going to carry a 8lb shotty loaded with slugs to cover the 1/1000000000 chance you'll face a bear attack. Even more remote that you'll be made aware of it before he's feasting on your gooey insides?
30 years in the bush doing lightweight back packing, hunting, surveying, and general goofing around and I've never seen a full on death-to-the-human bear charge.
Like I said, I don't even carry a shotgun any more unless I'm hunting birds. I've seen video of a can of bear spray stopping a large polar bear in its tracks, that's good enough for me.
