I would have learned how to do it really fast.

How would climbing a tree help him escape a bear anyway?

 

[Tarheel]

Since you can't outrun a bear, you climb a tree and hope the bear doesn't follow you.

Venturing off topic, but bears climb trees better than humans, at least until they get too massive to climb.

Still, here's a 400 lb. grizzly climbing to 50'.

And if you think you can out-climb them, you better climb really fast.

 

[Tdol]

Really really fast ;-)

Maybe better is when in bear country carry a rifle and be sure you know how to use it.
