    eyed was scared of a bear? I don't believe that for one minute. It makes for a better story if he says he was scared...


    I am a natural born story teller. ;)

    What's funny though is that the bear was on his second pass by the tent (maybe 30 minutes after the first time) and getting even closer when I finally had to talk to it and convince it to move along. In the time between the two encounters, I was laying wide fucking awake with one hand on the bear spray listening intently for any kind of sound. My wife, on the other hand, went from terrifed to right back to sleep before it came back. :lol:

    OH SHIT WE'RE ABOUT TO GET EATEN BY A GRIZZLY!!!! (30 seconds later - Snoooooooooze).
    and you my fine Sir are the best.
    this story makes me erect.
    i love savage men.

    wait... mirror

    I'm scared just reading this. Yeah, maybe instead of my tent I'll sleep out of the back of the Element in upstate New York in a couple of weeks...

    Can bears steal cars?

    Alright, this I gotta know:
    I finally had to talk to it and convince it to move along

    1) Please tell us, verbatim, what you said to the bear, and

    2) Did he say anything back

    Also
    awake with one hand on the bear spray

    3) What the #(*$&@ is "bear spray"?

    and finally
    My wife, on the other hand, went from terrifed to right back to sleep before it came back. :lol:

    OH SHIT WE'RE ABOUT TO GET EATEN BY A GRIZZLY!!!! (30 seconds later - Snoooooooooze

    4) Did you marry the right woman or what?!

    Dangdang,

    Before I get started on fielding your questions, I must first comment on your remarkable quoting skills. Very impressive. Now, on to the matter at hand.
    1 & 2:
    Bear: WHOOOF!
    Eyed: (in as manly a voice as possible) Alright bear, that is close enough! We are not your dinner tonight. Time to move along.
    Eyed’s wife: (in timid, church-mouse voice) Hey bear.
    *Eyed looking at wife in the dark like “Is that all you got?”
    Bear: WHOOOF! (then nothing, I never even heard a single footstep)
    3:
    Bear spray is a like mace… except for bears. Statistically a far better deterrent than guns.
    4:
    Yes!

    Can bears steal cars? What kind of question is that? Of course, bears steal cars and car accessories...

    a man only needs 2 or 3 hrs of light rest sleep throughout the night to be good.
    eyed can have finger on bear spray can and sleep.
    good to go.
    tent = steel shelter like a castle.
    eyed woman is safe.

    well done, Sir.
    i know you werent scared.
    if the bear did attack i know you'd have hit him in the face.


    Yeah, my heart pounding up in my throat was surely not a symptom of terror; it was just me getting ready to pounce on the big beast.
    i understand that heartbeat.
    happens to me everytime a butterfly comes near me.

    bears and butterflies... bad news when agitated
    You mean a double rainbow?

    Did you ever think of trying "noodling for bear" instead of catfish?

    Would have made a great youtube vid that you could piggyback your "Close Encounters" video series with...

    I have a "Close Encounters" video series? Awesome! I do wish I could have recorded the audio... maybe I should invest in some piece of technology more advanced than a double-sided axe.

    So, have you ever been awoken in the middle of a pitch-black moonless night in the backcountry of Glacier National Park with a grizzly bear making agitated forceful exhalations right outside your mesh-wall tent? No? Well, then you probably sleep better than I now do. Holy shit!!!

    At least I have another story to write.


    i have!!

    'cept it wasn't a grizzly, it was a kitten and i wasn't in a tent, i was on a sofa and it wasn't making agitated exhalations, it was sleeping

    but it scared the living shit out of me!!
    :lol::lol::lol:

    And damn....this is why I never go camping lol

    Now days I just slip some raw bacon in the packs of those who piss me off in the backcountry. Let the bears deal with them.
