Used to be, before life got complicated, I would head to the Boundary Waters in the summer and do a little Canoeing and a little fishing. Black bears, though unusual, are present in those parts, and you're really in the Wilderness once you paddle in a few days. So, a couple friends and I have a long standing discussion about whether, in a life and death situation, you could fight a black bear without a gun and win (you could throw rocks, use a paddle, etc). I guess this settles the argument.
Yeah,
But the wildlife rangers were even braver...giving the guy a ticket for failing to secure his campsite.
When we played in the woods across the street from our house growing up, my brother and I had long-standing plans on how to deal with a wolf attack. We swore we sometimes heard them, but in hindsight that was just our imagination.
