Honestly if bears were the main worry I'd have one of those industrial sized cans of Bear spray. They nuke a path like you wouldn't believe.
You just barely have to aim and let em' have it. I doubt there's a black bear in the world that would come through that fog.
If you're slightly worried about the bears and a little more worried about the 2 legged types........the bear spray on one hip and something like the new Springfield XD .45 ACP with 2 full mags should do just fine.
Would double as an extremely effective home defense gun as well.
Either will work on either.
That's actually a pretty good idea. The only question I have about bear spray is what if the wind is in my face?
Then your lunch! If a bear wants to attack you, it will, if you messed with it then it will get you even if you spray it. If the bear is really determined then he will run right through it. I dont want to sound like a jerk, but thats the way it is.
