Toss the food on the ground on one side of the table, go the other way. Slowly.

Bears are an every day thing here in Asheville. Usually it is all good, and they will go on their way. My only instance of being freaked out by one was 10 years ago. I worked with at risk youth and took them on a weekend hike and 2 nights camping. The last night out I was boiling water for their supper and a big 500+ bear came into camp and went straight to my tarp. It started going through my pack, and then walked into the middle of all of us. 12 kids with autism and 3 adults. I threw a big rock at it and it went to the edge of the campsite, but kept trying to walk back in. By this time all of the kids were running around and not listening to me or the adults. I was juggling trying to get the kids to me while pretty constantly throwing rocks at the bear. I got the other two adults to start tearing down all the tarps and getting packs on kids while working to isolate the bear away from everything going on. It was utter chaos. Finally got everyone lined up with packs on. I dumped all of the food in the middle of the campsite and we started hiking out. It was dark and we had 3 miles to go with very slow hikers. I walked at the end of the line and kept an eye on our rear. We made it out and never saw the bear. Contacted the Forest Service about the incident. They removed two bears from the area after this (killed them) . Both were 500+ and both lacked teeth. Turns out they were old fat bears kept alive by eating human garbage, and lived beyond their years. Makes sense because when the bear went through my pack it did no damage and even unzipped the zippers to get into it, but there were no tears or rips.
