Trailrider #896 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I wouldn't push my buddy down if a bear was chasing us! I'd just keep running, and the bear wouldn't be able to catch up, as it would be slippin' an' slidin'! I'd just have to take a couple of seconds to shake one leg or the other! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The comments are hilarious- scroll past idio-ads. wyknot 11h ago I caution any hiker that goes into a wilderness area to carry a photo of Maxine Waters in your pocket. It will frighten off the most savage of the wild animals in the forest. Better than a can of Bear spray! Reply hogfan62 6h ago I’ve been using a pic of Hillary to ward of bears and evil spirits for years now. Does Maxine work better?

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Wife is irrationally afraid of bears and mountain lions. She refuses to hike in areas where they might be. I keep telling her that she has nothing to worry about as I cannot run due to a fused ankle and foot so she would be able to get away! As an aside, we had a mountain lion and her kill near our home last March. I was able to put a trail cam nearby and monitored the big cat for over a week. I asked all of the neighbors that knew about it to not tell her as she would freak out. It was a couple of weeks after the lion had finished with her kill and did not show up on the trail cam that I showed her the pictures of the lion. She was a tad might PO'd! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I worked a summer in Yellowstone. Bears are great and I love watch them, but they can kill you in a heart beat...and will if provoked. The best defense I can think of is a fully armed squad of USMC infantry. Edited March 4 by Forty Rod SASS 3935 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 What it should say is "Don't trip up your faster friend when you see a bear". If I'm already faster than me friend why would I waste time pushing him down.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 "Never push a slower friend down."

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think the forgot to finish this statement: When a bear attacks, don't 'push a slower friend down,' National Park Service says. Instead, grab your friend by the shoulders from behind then turn him or her to face the bear and push them forward in an offering gesture. The bear will see that you are trying to be friendly and will accept your generous offer so that you may proceed in peace and with the knowledge that you have made a friendly connection with nature. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderRiverCowboy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 This is why I always suggest being somewhat close to a blue state escapee , they will be busy trying to take selfies with the bear Bears gotta eat too 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
