Do keep in mind that us humans have long ago lost our "tree climbing 
agility" that our anchient ancestors likely possessed.  So while "up a 
tree, kicking face" sounds good, you are not in a location that gives 
you your best agility for any fights.

With that said, a fight with an 800lb+ adversary with claws and a large 
mouth with large teeth already puts you at a severe disadvantage from 
the outset, no matter where you are hiding out.
