Just about every person is more dangerous than your average bear encounter.....
The vast majority of bears that people run into in the wild are black bears, which are mostly harmless.
I as an experienced outdoorsman would much rather stumble across a bear in the deep woods than another lone person, especially in a survival situation. Desperate people are the most dangerous animals by far.
