What kind of armor should I get to go 1v1 Man VS Bear?
There are plenty of brown bears where I live. Considering if I could track one down and ambush it and kill it with a knife. I was thinking I could "sacrifice" my left arm (with padding) and let the bear bite it, and then cut its throat. I could hunt them with a rifle, but where's the sport in that?
I'm thinking... MC helmet, neck protection, MC vest, stab/crush-protection for the arm, groin/leg protection, and a "dog-bite training suit" on top. I was thinking something like a bomb suit, with added protection for the hands. I could carry some large-caliber pistol or mace as backup.
Does this seem remotely viable? I do believe I could armor up enough to at least not die.
Yes, but with a fucking huge armor. I think it could be done as people have done it non-intentionally and survived. Most of them had knives and no armor iirc
I think you’re kinda retarded if you’re gonna let it “bite” you. 1, Bears have a bite force of 1200 pounds. That’s 3-4 times your average German Shepherd. No bite suite is gonna protect against that. 2, bears don’t go for the arms. They swipe at you and go for the neck like all prey animals. Get a some metal armor and a spear or sword and give yourself some damn distance at least. Fuck, a knife is not gonna cut it.

Here’s a guy killing a bear with a spear. He sounds like a giant faggit but it just shows it’s possible to kill a bear with less than modern weapons still. m.youtube.com/watch?v=6SrmdSbpOok

This is one of the incidents that inspire me.
Yeah, it's not like I would want a regular dog-bite-suit when fighting a bear - because that would indeed be pretty retarded. I would definitely use something very very durable for the head/neck area - maybe even with something to deter bites like (OP)?
Would definitely use a +10 inch blade

That seems needlessly cruel to the bear

I know of a guy who once managed to strangle a bear to death, so I suppose fighting one mano-to-mano isn't impossible, but you better be at the peak of physical fitness pal. And don't even think about letting it bite you - I've seen the effect of a bear's jaws on the nose of a solid metal plane propeller, and it isn't pretty. Any armor you wear is either gonna leave you so burdened that the bear will wrestle you to death as it aids in pinning you down, or light enough that it'll just bite through it like a tin can.
You want a halberd, not a knife.

Save some time and just kill yourself. If you go out to prove your manhood to a bear you'll be dead and your mom won't even know where your corpse is located. She'll never have closure. If you don't think that this bear will kill you, then your'e fucking delusional.

I imagine said armor would deter a bear pretty well. Mobility seems very limited though.

Why would you start with the second biggest bear? Start with a black bear. Christ even grizzlies are smaller than browns

Nigger if a bear swipes at you it's going to break whatever it connects with if it can't rip you to shreds
practice on smaller varieties at first, your gonna want to work your way up to the bigger ones. protip, if you want to be sure the bear will attack, bait it with one of its cubs, if you can injure it without killing it youl get this really nice whining bear that works wonders on the mother. just make sure you have a backup bearstopper in case it gains the upper hand.

first of all, youre retarded if you think you can fight a bear
second, youre retarded if you still think you can fight a bear after reading this thread.
I think you should wear a plate carrier if you go hunting. Level 4 plates that stop hunting rounds. If you're not sitting up in a tree stand at least. Get a bright orange jacket then hire a tailor, there are lots of seamstress shops around. Just have her take off the lining inside it, pull out the padding. Then have stuff that's resistant to bullets or stabbing put in place of the cotton, and have her sow it back together. If the outer proof is water resistant it should hold up fine. You're probably going to pay out a lot to cover that area with the kind of padding or whatever, but it's going to look like a regular non-descript sort of jacket in the end. People do it all the time. Otherwise just a regular plate carrier. It's not going to stop the bear from munching down on you but if someone else with a rifle or shotgun gets a bit jumpy and sees movement you're probably going to be okay.

>level 4 plates a bear probably isnt going to bite your chest to kill you user. it might hurt his teeth while hes eating you though
Ofcourse you can kill bears with malee weapons. In ancient Rome trained men slaughtered 11.000 animals each year and some of them were dangerous African animals.
You can kill any animal short of rhino and elephant with a really long spear and a backup weapon.

Armor is cheating. Grizzlyman didn't wear armor. He just hung out with Mr. Chocolate all day and spirit the fox. Grizzlies are our friends
Am I the only one who sees a modern market for this shit? >crazy campus feminists going on about rape culture >anti-rape body armor
We could be rich Jow Forums

on the legs you should go for full 15th century leg harness, preferably made out of titanium. They would cost around 700 euros. I myself would wear a medieval great bascinet for the head, as it also protects the throat. For the torso go for a full cuirass, It will cover your front and back, and your ass. All of this. except the helmet, made out of titanium. Many blacksmiths make this type of medieval armour out of titanium for HMB and events like Battle of the Nations. For the arms, id use fully articulated 16th century arm harness. And just use sport optimized plate mittens.
Mother FCUK We should start a fucking club just for this shit..almost like fight club but we talk about it.
Mother of GOD We would be pussy magnets if we did this.........
I'm with you....
I say we get suits and use the least weapons we can like small poinyards

>on the legs you should go for full 15th century leg harness >For the arms, id use fully articulated 16th century arm harness So what is there about 15th century leg armor, common across all styles, that 16th century stuff doesn't have which makes it suitable here? And the other way around for the arms. Then for the torso it seems anything goes, and never mind how it might want to interact with your leg armor.
>They swipe at you and go for the neck like all prey animals. If only this were true... A Grizzly bear will hold a person down and casually eat the flesh off of their legs.
>In ancient Rome trained men slaughtered 11.000 animals each year and some of them were dangerous African animals. Only eleven animals? And not even a thousandth of an animal more? That's astonishingly precise.

He's a yuropoor. They write numbers weird.

I fought a bear once. It was a black bear it was the strongest thing I ever put my hands on. I held it down and wouldn't let it stand is the only reason I feel it lost. I was in a little better shape but I wasn't as strong as I am now.

Why stop at armor? Go full medieval on all woodland creatures >acquire suit of armor >acquire side sword >acquire horse >fashion local timber into lance >get out innawoods to find bear >disturb the NAP >Ride to ruin and the world's ending
Now you just need a tabard and crest.

>Local news reports that nearby hikers heard screams of "DEAAATH!" before discovering the body of a local man who was mauled to death by a Brown bear after being thrown by his horse while apparently on his way to a costume party. Sources tell us that the man may have purposefully sought out the bear after reading a fairy tales about a man who killed a bear with his teeth on a child pornography website for Taiwanese pedophiles. He is survived by his sister and her husband, the steward of gondor.
