Hm, so you can win half a mil by being fat and laying around in your own filth all day long like a useless sack of poo poo? I think I'm going to reevaluate my plans for the year.

More than one contestant has had to light a flare to scare off a bear next to their shelters at night. Plenty have been nearish to bears with cubs in daylight. I'm only on season 3 but one person this season spotted a puma walking near their campsite as well. You should probably check out season 1!

It's bear country and if you hike, camp, or even live there then you deal with them. The fun of season 1 is seeing a bunch of macho men be unable to handle a situation that boy scouts and backpackers navigate every day of the year. Also, where applicable they carry legally mandated b we are measures like spray, noisemakers, bangers, etc. Really they're heavily equipped, they just get in their own head about it. The later seasons you get people who are totally unfazed by predators though. I lived in southeast Alaska for a summer and bear poop was aaaaaallll over the trails we hiked on. Didn't run into any while hiking, but over the course of the summer my wife and I saw probably 25 bears? Mostly from the road. You just make a lot of noise and they leave you alone.

I am not sure but I think a lot of people go "on vacation" to some sunny place and automatically think EVERY activity is done in t-shirt/tanktop and shorts and open shoes.because you gotta catch some rays man. We like to go "out into nature" but to us it means into a heavily managed forest, cycling along a road/path or climbing a well frequented mountain. Maybe that's why people don't dress appropriately, they really just expect a stroll with a fancy view. And "wilderness" to most of us is a euphemism used to describe the neighbours unkempt garden or the overgrown lot behind the empty industrial ruin down the road.

The "oh gently caress" moment of my life was rounding a corner on a trail in Glacier Park and seeing two grizzly cubs sitting on the trail. Thankfully we didn't see the mother because we immediately bolted in the other direction.

Thankfully we didn't see the mother because we immediately bolted in the other direction. Me and some of my friends were in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison when a brown bear came walking up the path. Was probably 1-2 years old, clearly habituated to people. Walked by about 10 feet from our group and just kept going. By far my biggest pants making GBS threads moment from hiking was when I was in Huntington Ravine on Mount Washington and came around a corner to see a moose and her calf about 20 feet away. Those things are surprisingly quiet.

Double post, but if you're into wilderness survival a bunch of Survivorman episodes are on youtube; https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdteC6yMLFp0gmUaCnWIq5gYhqoz_bk5_ Link is season 1, I think there's a couple more seasons on there.

I work a job that regularly involves being in rural/semi-rural areas. My coworkers are terrified of bears, snakes, mountain lions, bobcats, and dogs, in that order. Statistically speaking, the common domestic pupper is far and away more dangerous. Black bears ain't poo poo, a majority of snake bite incidents involve alcohol, mountain lion attacks are more rare than lightning strikes, and how anyone can even get close enough to a bobcat to get scratched, I do not know.

A Festivus Miracle posted:, and how anyone can even get close enough to a bobcat to get scratched, I do not know. Generally one gets stuck in your shed/barn and when you open the door it is, by now, not in a great loving mood. That was a rude awakening one morning to ~14 year old me just trying to get the tractor rigged for the day.

My dad was a utility locator and rattlesnake bites were a sufficient threat that he rolled with anti-snake greaves and heavy boots. He got bit all the time but I'm pretty sure that was based on an up-armored decision to go through the snake rather than back off and wait for the snake to leave. Edit: but yeah, as someone up thread noted: a sober person can often avoid snek so long as they're not contractual obligated to go through them.

Those don't look like they would work. I do appreciate the camo though, the snake will think it's being trod on by a tree and not know where to strike!

They worked fine, the problem came when geography and snake placement conspired for the strike to occur above the shin. Then he'd go to the hospital. Why yes, my dad did die young of a car accident, suck it snek  .

I hitchiked with a guy and his giant shar pei with a hosed up face. Turns out a cougar literally ripped the dog's face off while the dog tore the cat's throat out. He somehow got the dog with its face hanging off its chin to a vet who put in a couple thousand stitches. The dog looked like a regular happy dog, just with kinda hosed up tear ducts and a pulled back wrinkleless face, like the alien in men in black wearing the redneck like a suit.

When I was hiking the AT I rounded a corner and saw a bobcat pounce on a rabbit not 5ft from me. I imagine if it was a little closer I could have been swatted at to protect its meal. Was cool as gently caress though seeing nature do its thing.

Rinkles posted:i think they care about money (being liable) I don't know where you live, but in the PNW it's literally not possible to be in an area with no bears. You will encounter them at some point if you spend a good amount of time outdoors. But also, they're not Revenant-style murder machines, as long as you're not an idiot, they're almost always harmless* *there are obviously a lot of caveats here that I'm skipping over
