I remember reading the writings of the Lewis and Clark Expedition as they first saw a bear. I remember they were in awe of it’s strength. A killer.

"While the carnage was goin on the fellow passengers who watched the entire act, were busy shooting the incident on their mobile phones instead of trying to rescue him. "

I have a recurring nightmare about this.

In it, I come across an accident with a car on fire and a woman inside screaming and looking out the window horrified as a bunch of idiots stand outside the door taking videos of her with their cell phones.

The dream sometimes ends with me opening the door and dragging out of the car and then going after the cell phone morons with a baseball bat

Even a stray dog had more sense than this guy.

“There was quite a crowd there...”

Someone in the crowd yelling to Prabhu...

“Do not worry, Prabhu! We will make sure this gets on the internet!”

A lesson in evolution. Stupidity isn’t usually a successful strategy.

Bears are driven by curiosity, hunger, and fear.Any one of these can trigger an attack.

The best weapon to use on a bear is a rifle or 12 gauge shot gun with a rifled slug, but in a pinch a pole will do to keep the bear back, you poke, the bear stands up, you run.then repeat.Even better is a spear with a knife blade tied to a poll, and here is the best knife ( Cold Steel Bushman) to have in that regard:

The knife can be pole mounted locked on using a dry wall screw.

You can kill a bear with this as a spear, poke, bear stands up you let him have it in the heart or bread basket, thrust deep. On canoe trips its good to have a knife like this mounted on a strong straight spruce pole about 7 feet long. It can double as a pole for canoeing.
