I found this article about what to do about Bears on Digg today. No, not the kind you’d find at the Pumpjack, the kind you find stealing your pick-a-nick basket.
And eh, the suggestions are fine, but I’ve always liked my philosophy of bears better. Step one, you need to find out what kind of bear you’re facing. To find out, climb a tree.
If it’s a black bear, it will climb up after you and kill you. If it’s a grizzly bear, it will knock the tree over and kill you. There is no step two.
Now you know.
Actually, the most important thing to remember is that you don’t have to outrun the bear, you only have to outrun your buddy.
Having encountered many, many bears in many different situations, I can only say that your approach is somewhat alarmist.
Actually, it occurs to me that while I said this was more about pick-a-nick basket stealing bears, this may also work with the kind found at the Pumpjack…
The comments in that article made me giggle:
