A park ranger at Glacier National Park (home of many Grizzly bears) told us what to do if attacked by a Grizzly: climb the nearest tree and throw your wallet as far as you can.

He said that way, they'll know who it was that got eaten.

Carry a handgun, not for the bear but so you don't have to experience being eaten alive
