I'll go up against any Marine Recon anytime anywhere anyplace. And I'm only 5'6 and weigh in at 110lbs.

Doing what? I can see you done some things, but please. You'd never make it through the O'Club let alone the bush in combat. The only reason you wouldn't die immediately, is most of us have a sense of chivalry and you sound like you could be fun.

Any of those animals shooting back? Hand to hand? Don't be Fonzie, that is a shark too far.

Where I live at home, up a forest service trail. In the morning you can see bear, cougar, bobcat, coyote, whatever, just wandering up the road. I hike that area all the time. I carry a Winchester 30-30 and a .45 slide gun. There are also people who have meth labs up there as well as guys who’ve gone bush. I’ve run into several of them and never had a problem if you know what I mean.

PS - I’m basically talking about woodcraft, not combat. Although I’m pretty darn good on sneaking up on things and people. My uncle had me make my own ghillie suit. I know how to stalk, sit for hours and not move. I read about Chuck Mawhinney and also wore out the book “Point of Impact”. There’s more to Marine Recon than just hand to hand.
