“At least they had passed before being eaten.”

Not me though. Congrats, you are special.

Kamchatka. Usually encountered while playing Risk.

Also the name of one of the more infamous Russian ships of the turn of the 20th century, sent to the bottom by the Japanese at the Battle of Tsushima.

I don’t know about Risk, but I’ve played lots of games about Russia; Korsun Pocket, Black Sea/Black Death, Kanev, Destruction of Army Group Center, Objective Moscow, the Russo-Polish War, the Russo-Finnish War, Drang Nach Osten/Fire In The East, 2nd Fleet, 6th Fleet, etc, etc.

Russia tends to produce more history than they can consume locally....

[Both were deer hunting and armed with rifles. The one who died was sitting on the edge of a muskeg blowing his deer call and was hit from behind by a huge boar and had no chance. The force drove his rifle deep into the soft ground. He was mostly eaten except for his head, some fishermen from Petersburg tracked and killed the bear two days after the attack. His remains were inside the bruin.
The man who survived had his firearm slung over his shoulder and was blindsided with no warning, mauled and scalped. He played dead and the bear left. Likely a sow protecting her cubs but he didn’t see them. He had no time to use his weapon. ]

Thanks. I’ve always considered heading out into any kind of remote area something you should do with at least one other person. That way, if you have a medical emergency, there’s someone to call for help. Then there’s the two- or four-legged critters you might run into, some of which might be less than friendly. Re the guy with the rifle slung over his shoulder, I’ve heard that many hunters carry a pistol in a holster as a backup weapon because they can get to it quicker in case of unexpected animal attack.

They were passed after being eaten fer sure

The general rule is if you are attacked by a brown/grizzly bear, try playing dead. It works more often than not.
However, when a black bear attacks fight for your life because it plans to eat you.
