Wow... braver than I am LOL
We had a bear trying to break into a neighbor's house last week, she was roasting a turkey and heard someone banging on her front door. She peeked out a window and saw a mother bear trying to get her door open and there were two cubs playing in her yard. She called Public Safety and they frightened the bears into leaving the area. I always look before I open my door :-)
Oh geez... if it's not the Greenies and their swastikas, it's the bears.
I worry about you!
A lot of folks on this thread are dubious about this story.
You think it's for real? I can picture the power of that pan. Especially cast iron. They say young men can be the most dangerous beasts on the planet!
