Do not be in their territory, near their homes
Make Eye Contact
Slowly back away, if possible arm yourself with a nearby long sturdy object such as a decently sized stick
Do not be surrounded
If approached, raise the stick and make noise. They are not afraid of the stick, but they should be because it is very effective and immune to bleeding unlike your arms or legs.
Generally wolves are more afraid of you than vice versa, but it's not impossible for them to identify you as food or have learned aggressive behavior. The idea here is to make yourself difficult to eat without risk of injury, and they will therefor give up and leave.
Just channel your inner caveman
Why do you think we made it this long?
Pretty much all of this applies to surviving a crackhead attack, too. Don't make eye contact though. It provokes them.
It works for most animals, but cocained up predators have a high pain resistance which lessens the effectiveness of the stick.
Yeah, I hate family dinners too
