Bears?? Let me at em'

My husband believes he is the modern day Pancho Via...........here he sits with his camo pants the thickest warmest boots on the market in a thin white T-shirt......hmmmmmm It is almost berry picking time....and the ladies I work with told me they always wear good running shoes in case they need to run from a bear....BUT ALL the literature we have read on bears say that you NEVER RUN....but I guess being in that kind of situation............who knows??
