There are many tools to frighten bears:
The bear bell ( small type, widely used in Japan ) ---- It is noisy. I
hate a bell and run away. I think bear also hate and run away.
Whistle ( some one likes in Japan) ---- I have a whistle ( at a chest
strap ). , It is very noisy. I hate whistle, bear also hate too.
Horn --- horrible impression. --- I and bear run away instantly.
Please treat wild animals more tenderly.

You are very lucky. I have never met with bear such a close distance.
