Have a safe trip........... and remember some animals are more dangerous than others.

Shortly after I returned home last year's trip a report came in that a young lady doctor
had been killed by a bear in a remote spot that I had camped at.
Her husband valiantly tried to fight off the bear with a Swiss Army knife.
He was able to retrieve his wife's body but was unable to save her life.

This year I'm going more prepared, long fixed blade knife, bear spray, air horn and bear bangers.
And of course my dog who would stand up to a bear if need be.
A few springs ago, while on a hike in the bush, a bear burst out of the brush
not 12 feet in front of us and tore off down the trail.
Thankfully away from us. I was caught flatfooted but the dog started to run after the bear.
It was with some trepidation that I commanded him to halt and was relieved when he obeyed.
