Like having an old M3 combat knife on your hip and a staff (hiking stick) with a quick connect adapter to accept the blade.
It would be a less threatening way to have access to a spear until the time came when you might need it.
“Or, perhaps Oxford and Southern English.”
The last time I spoke Oxford English to a Brit he thought I either insulted his gas water boiler or wife and agreed with me.
We have a large Rottweiler dog who serves as an effective way to discourage missionary boys wearing white shirts and ties, door to door sales people, and uninvited visitors in the middle of the night. We have signs on our gates and front door. By the way Brody has been known to open the front door to receive guests if we do not lock the door with the deadbolt. He knows how to open doors with latches and knobs. Brody is a very good dog.
Hikers, man, been there did that.
But, and speaking as a proud MOUNTAIN BIKER: “Friggin’ peds, I’d have run over his old lady too but the b*tch is FAST!”
It is dawg eat dawg out there. F’ing Europeeens, panzies.
Now, on a certain level, I kinda get what yer sayin’. I always turn around and go back when I see somebody with a bear.
Just haven’t met a griz yet, they are kinda hard to find down hyar in TX. :)
I hike, camp out, mountian bike and road bike. The majority of the people I encounter while doing any of these activities are considerate fellow travelers. Maybe one out of a hundred is a jerk and another three out of a hundred just not familiar with rules of etiquette and do something wrong like walk side by side on a narrow trail with ear buds in while knowing it's shared by cyclists.
There's no excuse for what these guys did.
LOL! Thanks! Picture Perfect!
