Lions, tigers, and bears...think about it, a bear shows up in the middle of the night, it's dark, the fire is out; who do you think will outrun the bear, the kids or the old man?
the older man will outrun the bear; the older man has knowledge and wisdom...one knows you can not outrun a bear.
When I was a young one, I was bullet proof and bear proof. Today I could be a victim of a bear attack or a drive by shooting.
I just need to be quicker than whoever I push down and step over on my way out of the door!
I was once asked why I carry such a big knife when up in Bear Country.... I always answer, "The Bear is going to need a toothpick after he finishes with me!"
Stores in eastern U.S. sell bear repellent that comes in a can; you hold the can upright and spray the contents directly into an attacking bears eyes.
Stores in the western U.S. sell bear repellent that work by sound. You purchase a bag containing four small bells and a bit of string. You attach those bells to your clothes or around your neck. If you run into a bear and he doesn't eat you, the bells worked. If someone finds bells in bear poop, they didn't work.
