Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 575 Posted August 1 I gnu you needed a new knife. To stay safe in bear country, always carry a small pocket knife and hike with a friend. If a bear attacks, stab your friend in the leg and run. 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subdeacon Joe 19,663 Posted August 1 Good GAWD!! That our society has descended to the point where that is necessary. Of course, in the early '70s I saw an ad in Guns and Ammo for surplus bayonets with a warning that they were sharp and could inflict serious or lethal injuries. That was also around when we started seeing warnings on hand held blow dryers about not using them while in the shower. One of my brothers commented that we should be thankful that people who needed such warnings bathe at all. 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
