Not. too. smart.
My sis and hubby like to hike and recently bought a new airstream to camp in
Sis deathly afraid a bear is going to gnaw through the aluminum walls and eat them
Took 6 months to get, but BIL now keeps a .454 Casull handy
food in their tents
Ovando Ping....
My financial advisor is on such a trip and today he just posted only 50 or so miles from there. Grace.
Sad for the other riders.
It's one thing to drive a car and leave trash behind. But, a continued presence of scent for hundreds of miles via biking, stopping and resting, year over year will create new issues.
It's now a game trail.
To bad they weren’t armed.
I was reminiscing about a canoe/camping trip to Algonquin in canada late 1970’s. We smuggled a revolver in with us. Tied all of the cooking stuff in a bag hung by a tree far way from our campsite. There was a bear attack right before our trip. It was a pain but i doubt the revolver we had would have stopped a bear. maybe the swarms of mosquitos. Later while hunting for turkey in bear woods. i bought a Taurus .44 magnum for protection.
How could anyone go back to sleep after the 1st bear visit?
Why they didn’t leave after that, I haven’t a clue.
“ she was killed early Tuesday, said Montana Fish”
wtf kinda name is that lol
Hmmm, doesn't sound like they removed the food smell from their tents...
play stupid games, win stupid prizes. “Survival of the fittest” aka “the process of natural selection”... Unfortunately from the age, the gene pool may have still been tainted. The previous comment is meant in NO WAY to assert a belief in darwin’s theory of evolution!
First mistake - food in the tent or even close to their camp.
Second mistake - Going back into a tent with food smells - and not realizing that they also were food.
They should have loaded up and moved on. Or at least built a fire and taken turns at watch - provided they had a rifle with enough power to take down a bear. SMH.
Per another FReeper who knows, unreported fact:
90% of bear attacks are on menstruating women.
(Official reports say so, but news never mentions it.)
Grizzly come around my tent. Yeh I’ll be able to lay back down and go to sleep. 🙄
