    you only need to run faster than the person behind you! sorry just the classic colorado answer sometimes the bear is replaced with a mountain lion. yes it just happened at christmas! :happy:

    just FYI, you can't outrun a bear. I would back away slowly, or climb a tree that takes me more than 10 M high.
    As far as how far I could run if my life was in danger, it depends on whether or not I have shoes on. :) With shoes... probably 20+. Without shoes... 15 if I'm lucky (and very, very afraid for my life)

    I don't think I'd make it very far xD

    But I've never been in a situation where I was afraid for my life, so I can't say for sure!

    if you have no choice... and have the option... go downhill. the bears front legs are smaller then its back and its a lot harder for them :P but you probably wont get far anyway haha

    That's funny. A lot of reading to get to the funny, but funny anyway.

    I'd be a bear brunch buffet. I can run for a long time-but nowhere near as fast as a bear.

    Further (and faster) than the person who is with me.

    Phewww!!!! no bear here, though. But here in Malaysia we have tigers and elephants, and the threat only applicable to those hardcores trekkers and adventurers in thick rainforest jungle.

    Outrun them? nah.

    Aren't you supposed to stop, turn in its direction slowly, and start singing to it? (Where did I hear/read that?)

    Would a bear be able to get me to sing in public? Hmmm... if I throw my electronic cigarette at it and it bites it, anyone know what the LD50 of nicotine is for a bear? If I fill it up before I leave, would 72mg be enough to at least make it stop trying to hurt me and switch to vomiting mode?

    Zombies... for that I'd run into dense wood (best place for low branches to give them a knock to the head and re-kill them), across a road, or get across a canal lock and hope someone has a barge pole I can knock them into the water with. Was going to say towards other people or a crowded place, but the only thing worse than being chased by 1 zombie is being chased by a 100 zombies.

    If you go out in the woods today you're in for a big surprise...

    I used to think this everyday when I lived up North in bear country. But you aren't really supposed to run away from a bear, so even if I could run far I doubt I would make it less then 10 feet. :)

    I just realized I thought it said "beer" and not "bear"

    I could run from the bear for the rest of my life...however, I don't think that would be a long time in this scenario.
