I used to follow these threads religiously, I dropped off the year Euli Steck died. Did I miss anything good in 2018 or 2019? I started indoor climbing before the pandemic, would highly recommend it. One thing you might not expect is slow and steady is not the way to climb, you'll tire yourself out if you only make safe moves. Also constant pain in your toes, or what used to be your toes. And realize that half the time you'll be staring up at your climbing partner's butt.  Indoor climbing was pretty awesome.

I have to assume part of the contract is production pays for alone-induced medical bills because everyone out there a while is coming back malnourished and riddled with parasites at the very least, right? Then again some of them are Canadian so medical debt is less of a thing, it'd just suck to lose over a month of your life and come out in debt, not just not win.

For whatever reason this made me think of Grand Duchess Anastasia and her sisters having inadvertently made bulletproof vests by sewing so many diamonds into their corsets that bullets ricocheted off of them. I would knit myself a top down sweater that I could unravel from the waist up to get some sweet sweet extra cordage, and also a stylish crop top in the process.

PostNouveau posted:I wonder how much you make just for going there. I still keep thinking about that guy earlier in the thread who was like, "Yeah, drop basically untrained randos in the woods with no food, sure. Don't even bother with a camera man, no problem. Three hours away from help, even if you're bleeding out? Totally reasonable. Bears? Oh poo poo, must be staged." I can't wrap my head around that rationale, the best I can come up with is that, say, Floridans or Texans who have nothing like those animals have seen The Revenant one too many times, so they just assume all bears are murder machines. And the producers have to give them bear training, but they think an encounter is like, a remote possibility, only for legal reasons. So as soon as they see bear on day one, they flip the gently caress out. That's the only mental gymnastic I can come up with where that makes any kind of sense.

When I was in high school, my family stayed in a little cabin clustered with maybe a dozen others in Sequoia National Park. I was inside when I heard a bunch of commotion and looked out the window. A black bear with what appeared to be 100 lbs. of electronic collars and such on its neck was waltzing through the camp. This called for the all too rare bravery one can only find in... A 16 year old girl working there for the summer. Who ran it off by yelling at it and throwing rocks.

Highly recommend Grizzly Man if you haven't seen it. Werner Herzog doc about a guy who was a self-proclaimed bear expert and would go up to Alaska every year in summer to live among them and "protect" them. He shot a ton of footage himself loving around and playing with the bears and having a ton of close encounters that didn't seem too dangerous. Until he hangs around too late in the season one year and is in bear territory in October when apparently the bears get a lot more aggro about getting food before winter hibernation. Then him and his girlfriend get eaten by a bear. Anyway Grizzly Man rules it's my favorite Herzog movie by a mile.

And I know you're almost definitely safe camping as long as you take the right precautions. And I'll go hunting alone in certain circumstances. But I can't make myself go camping alone, mostly because of my idiot brain thinking about trying to sleep in a tent among dem bears.

punishedkissinger posted:you dont want freshwater going in your mouth untreated in general. lots of nasty stuff in there. even out in "pristine" wilderness. yea there's a reason the advice is always to boil your water before ingesting it and it's not because it's a lot of fun to make a fire and boil the water. that being said there's definitely a hierarchy for safe-ness as far as drinking water goes, and if there is a decently fast-running mountain stream, a place where the water is dropping over rocks (like a little waterfall) is a relatively effective natural filter-but-don't-think-of-it-as-an-actual-filter-because-you-should-still-probably-boil-the-water. As far as mountain streams go, those are about as safe as you can get, but you're still gonna wanna walk upstream a bit to make sure there isn't like, a dead moose rotting in the water nearby or something. Cojawfee posted:I think it was that the bears he was used to had gone somewhere else and a different kind of bear moved in. it was that as well, yea. there was a bear he "didn't like" as much because it was old and grumpy which made him more dangerous (than the other dangerous bears that would have killed him at some point later on his life) because it wasn't an able predator like the other bears so it was more likely to go for "other" prey (like people), and I think it also had a bad tooth which made him ornery. (Not a joke? I think after they figured out which bear it was and killed it, they found the bear had hosed up teeth?) Tumble fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Feb 19, 2021 |

PostNouveau posted:Highly recommend Grizzly Man if you haven't seen it. There's another bear documentary series available on YouTube, The Bear Whisperer I think. The main difference is the subject is gainfully employed in his town with regards to the bear situation and is highly unorthodox but also very effective. It kind of feels like a silly slice of life in bear country because the bears are around but they're kept under control. It does get real when a certain bear becomes a problem by continually breaking into peoples' houses and trashing all their stuff in search of food. The whisperer seems to be dealing with it, at which point the problem bear and her cub get hit by a car. The cub dies and mama predictably loses her poo poo, breaking into more homes and doing worse damage. You ought to be able to guess what happens to her

And I know you're almost definitely safe camping as long as you take the right precautions. And I'll go hunting alone in certain circumstances. Yeah, I have to emphasize, we were in cabins and this was a black bear, and not even a particularly big one at that. The presence of the tracking collar likely indicated that he had already become used to people and was a "problem" bear. I think he had to have come around before, either that or that girl really did have balls. It was hilarious. The bear didn't scurry off like it was scared, it just sort of turned around and slowly loped off like, "Ok, I'm going, I'm going." PostNouveau posted:Highly recommend Grizzly Man if you haven't seen it. Such a great movie. There's an infamous scene where Herzog listens on headphones to a recording of the fatal attack. Treadwell was always ready to record and someone, either him or his girlfriend turned on one of the video cameras but didn't take the lens cap off, so it recorded the audio only. After Herzog listens to it, he dramatically tells the woman who has it to never listen to it. Of course, this left viewers wanting to know what happened. Turns out she has let other people listen to it, including this guy, a grizzly expert who describes what you hear and speculates about what was happening: http://www.yellowstone-bearman.com/Tim_Treadwell.html As you might suspect, it's pretty goddamned awful.

I’m in the pairs season and one guy is going on and on about how worried he is about the bears his son might encounter on the hike to him. Not worrying about falling on a rock/log, a very real and game-ending risk that has already taken out two people, but BEARS. People have such broken assessment of risk.
