Ah, now isn't that cute! He's trying to troll me! Digging up a five-year-old thread... you must be really, really bored. I know I am.

My ultimate nightmare; being zipped up in a sleeping bag, in a tent, in the dark, with a predatory bear outside the tent. That's primarily what prompted me to ditch the 44 mag revolver for the Glock 10mm. A powerful light can be attached to the Glock in seconds for the night, and it holds 16 rounds. If I can get my hand on it before the attack, I can shoot the bear from the bag if he collapses the tent, and even without the light. If I can get out of the tent, the light can enable aimed shooting. Sixteen rounds is nearly 3x what. revolver can hold. Spray is virtually useless under such a scenario.

That was Kitakaze’s theory. The problem with that theory is there is no way a man could have made those tracks. The snow was too deep. And there is no way my dad could have got on the mountain without leaving tracks from the house. And lastly having spent a life in the woods? Ive never seen a set of tracks like them again. I made a set of feet in High School and spoofed my aunt down the hill. And at 6 feet tall? I could have not made those tracks in that much snow. And my dad was 5’10”. I spoofed my aunt in her freshly tilled garden. It was easy. Walk up to the garden, put feet on, walk a loop, take feet off and go home. I dont know if Sasquatch exists, but I am ready if he does….

Hmmm…. Dr. NFL cheerleader or fat hillbillies….. choices choices.🤦🏻‍♂️

This couple was experienced in backpacking in Canadian grizzly country, so I look forward to learn further details on what precautions they took and what did they do wrong. Nonetheless, quotes like the one below from the Calgary Herald are disturbing. No matter how well-prepared or versed people are for such confrontations, the couple’s fate might have been sealed, said Titchener. “It’s possible (the victims) did the best they could, but sometimes there’s not much you can do about it,” she said. It is interesting that they were using a Garmin inReach to communicate with their friends and family (as I also carry and use it). They reported reaching campsite at 5 PM and at 8 PM reported bear attack via Garmin inReach SOS. The rescue arrived at 1 AM and the couple and their dog were already dead. Not clear if they had bear spray. Doubt that they carried hand guns in Banff NP. I guess if you know you are going to die by being eaten alive, you can send a SOS and text message via Garmin to SAR so that they know where to find your remains. https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/fatal-bear-attack-on-experienced-hikers-likely-predatory-expert
