Alaska State Troopers say an Anchorage man was forced to climb a tree to dodge a black bear near Campbell Airstrip.

Charles L. Lamb of Anchorage told officers he was forced up a tree by a large black bear at about 11:30 a.m.

Lamb says the bear stalked them for a half mile as they walked out.

Be realistic.

Our schools are almost as paranoid as the lower 48, yes Alaska is open carry, and permits are not needed for conceal carry.

And Anchorage is filth, a lot different from when I first moved here in 1992, luckily for the rest of Alaska those that live in Anchorage are scared to death of ever leaving their liberal haven.

Blk bears stalking people is quite common in rural areas of Ak, Canada. I actually saw as many bear when I lived in Pennsylvania as I do along the yukon, but in Pa, the bear were scared of people. Where we live bear are just shot when they start coming around people. I have a couple friends who have been mauled by grizz, they hate bear like you can’t imagine.

Good to know, but if I’m ever being chased by a bear, I doubt I will have time to determine if he’s a climber or not... ;^)

LOL

You may be more correct than many would first think.

TO be fair, in the mid 80s, the state nearly fell apart - but thanks to the Exxon Valdez oil spill - almost 3 billion was pumped into SOuthCentral - saving at least Anchorage.

In 1986 alone, over 30K moved out of Anchorage - the rest of the TSte sufferd as well.

I don’t remeber any FedGov bailouts tho......
