OTOH, hanging the bag just high enough to make the bear rear up will give you a clean shot at Smokey so that he then becomes a hundred or so pounds of jerky to sustain you on the rest of your trek. This assumes that TEOTWQKI has occurred and game wardens are otherwise engaged in protecting their families and themselves. Be sure to cook Smokey very thoroughly as bears are subject to trichinosis which can be caught by eating meat that is not properly cooked. Bear fat was very useful to our great grandparents, so render the fat and don’t throw it away.
