If I had to defend myself I think I could beat one of those Canada Geese if it started coming at me.
Which Animal Do You Think You Could Fight And Win? If they attacked you

You do have a slight chance if you are close to a steep hill as large bears cannot go straight down a hill due to their hind quarters being higher than their front.
Other than that it is the old "you do not need to outrun the bear, just the slowest camper" escape route.
Those fuckers are tough. I nailed one with a golf ball on a golf course. He was about 20 feet away and I let one rip. When it hit him it sounded like hitting a solid mattress. He just stood his ground and hissed at me.
I could take on a coyote for sure.
So , what would be a close call?
I have thought, and thought, and thought about it.
I think that a totally fair, even fight , would be me against a ...
BADGER!
I figure I would sacrifice my left hand, let him chew and maul it, then I would gouge out his eyes, then I would envelope him in a scissors hold with my legs, around his neck, sacrificing my balls and genitilia (Sex - what a pain in the ass, after all!) while I insert a finger up his rectum and yank out 90% of his intestines, while his claws disembowel me, yet still allowing me with my right had to grab him by the scruff of his neck and slam him to the pavement, while he clamps down on my neck with his teeth while i thrust my entire arm UP TO THE ELBOW down his throat, effectively choking him while his hind legs scrape my face off and i bite off his nose and swallow it of COURSE!
GAWD, I can't WAIT!

Or just bring a shotgun loaded with buckshot whenever you head into the woods.
When the bear begins charging at you, you yell out "get some!" and start shooting with a wide open grin.
carry a rifle or pistol is easier as its light and compact but not easy to get a permit here in Canada
I've been all over this planet and when I'm out bush I carry a firearm
most important is BE aware of your surroundings you can avoid most trouble by paying attention to what's going on or not, around you

I think repeated shots (9 shot Mossberg) would be enough to kill, seriously injure, or scare it off. If not, reload while it's down.
Incredible how tough beasts of the wild are.

A rabbit. I wouldn't go near anything else. I once had a racoon chase me . I also had a goose chase me too ..scariest moments of my life LOL .
Practice doing an impression of an 800 pound silverback gorilla to scare them off. Joe Rogan does a pretty good one:
Only time I've been armed in the bush was in polar bear country where we required to have armed guide (actually not quite true, I used to go to hunting camp every summer but that's a different matter). Pretty much every other animal is predictable and the freak cases of a fucked up animal are less likely than getting into it with other campers. And with the distance we cover on many trips, I have no interest in carrying an extra 5-10 pounds just in case.
again where permitted a pistol is light and compact I like the saying "better to have a gun and not need it, then to need a gun and not have one"
if you get lost or injured can be used for signaling (if out of cell range)
