Just remember the old joke about the two guys running from an enraged bear. "I don't have to run faster than the bear, just faster than you".hobie16 wrote:I'm not afraid of anything I can outrun. :roadrunne
I was always told that why ya need a walking stick in the woods...to smack the other guy in the knee before you run from a bear!!! (hehehe)Randy B wrote:Just remember the old joke about the two guys running from an enraged bear. "I don't have to run faster than the bear, just faster than you".:D:

That's like a running backpacker's joke in Yellowstone: "You don't need to be able to outrun a bear, you just need to be able to outrun the slowest guy in your group!" :p:GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:I was always told that why ya need a walking stick in the woods...to smack the other guy in the knee before you run from a bear!!!

I heard that from my cousin who has been a ranger naturalist for several decades. He said this is how to tell a black bear from a grizzly. You run up and slap him across the muzzle, and then climb a tree. If it comes up after you, its a Black Bear. And if it shakes you down it's a Grizzly. Simple, right? :D:Kwahati wrote:That's like a running backpacker's joke in Yellowstone: "You don't need to be able to outrun a bear, you just need to be able to outrun the slowest guy in your group!" :p:
You know, back in the old days, they used to say that if you ran into a bear in the woods, you should climb a tree. Now, they know that's not a great idea. You see, a black bear will just climb up the tree after you to eat you. A griz will just knock the tree down and eat you!![]()

hell, not even any of that would be likely. i don't know if Disney has freezers cold enough, but even if they did i doubt you'd find a willing heart donor, or someone capable of doing a transplant in a few short minutes. even if that happened, he might have lost too many brain cells that he'd be as intelligent as the average 5 year old.
Funny!! DW was not amused when we were hiking in Alaska, I got her a "bear bell" for her hiking boots, she asked me what it was for, and I told her it helped the bear figure out where lunch was!!

What happened to the "fish are our friends, not food?" that dosn't apply to humans I guess!!hobie16 wrote:The bear story kinda works in Hawaii but with a fishy bent. If you're out surfing and get bit by a shark, you'll be able to tell what kind it is based on what happens next. If it leaves, it's a tiger 'cause they don't like the taste of humans. If it comes back for more, it's a hammerhead.
No need to run, I freely admit it.Randy B wrote:Hmmmm
