Wow. My last hike was at at Stonewall Peak in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Hiked 4 miles and got to 5730ft high elevation and I never even considered a bear might be out there…
Taking a pistol next time.
Fight black bears. Grizzlies and brown bears play dead. Polar bears…welp it was a good runDamn. They say you're supposed to get real loud when a bear confronts you because the noise/aggression can scare it away. And if it chases you, you gotta get on the ground and cover up because if you turn your back on a predator it's gonna get you (pause).
It’s real survival tactics bro. Black bears are scary as hell and will “probably” back down if you try to intimidate them. A grizzly however will call your bluff 9/10 times and maul the shyt out of you, so it’s best to play dead since they don’t like eating what they don’t kill
Only problem with this is the fact that Black Bears sometimes have the same fur color as Grizzlys so even then this shyt is a gamble
200 years ago, you wouldn't be trekking through Alaska on your own.Glad he lived.
That's gotta be terrifying. Makes me wonder what it was like when much of the land was unsettled. Imagine you're trekking through Alaska 200 years ago and some bears pull up....
Give you that Hugh Glass treatment
He went full on cro-magnon man, straight primal shyt smh.YyyyAAAAUGGGHHEHUHHHGGGHHHhh
That’s assuming you even stay calm enough to receive all of that information in the moment. I got to imagine a lot of people simply panic at the sight of any bear and react naturally.Damn, thanks for the info. I guess we also have to incorporate looking into things like snout shape and stuff like that.
