If it looks like a wolf, acts like a wolf, and howls like a wolf, it's probably an asshole.

I think yer barkin up the wrong tree bud.

oh and "that girl" already exists. There's a video of her on FB somewhere, she's been covered in these threads already, she has the most epic/un-epic explorer garb ever seen.

Not having started a thread doesn't mean that you can't be one of the sole responders, and therefor become responsible for an argument inside such thread.
(thrust me)


.... I don't wanna thrust you...I barely know you...

And that is awesome. I have to find this video.

And no, I get that my posts can always be torn apart. It just seems like alot of what she is talking about isn't actually from me. It's from the original poster.

no batman utility belt for me. 2 Canon 1Ds cameras and business cards are enough props for me. I am too old for all that sneaking bullshit and too tall to be a sewer rat (6'6" @ 265), so no shitty floors either. When you have 10K of cameras hanging off of you they tend to ask next to no questions. And being 40 makes them less likely to think I am some punk.

The more gear you take with you the worse any charges will be. This is supposed to be fun, not a super secret spy mission. Some people just watch too many damn movies.

I think that is most of our points. Though the immediate argument to this is going to be "but super secret spy missions are fun!". And when that does come out, I highly suggest you retort with a hearty slab upside the head.

Your very welcome. That's what I'm here for. =) That and every once in awhile something that sounds halfway smart manages to leak out of my brain.

You stabbed a bear.... in the face.... This I have to hear. Please PM me with this.

I was camping near Capitan and I heard a snorting sniffling noise in the middle of the night, I thought it was the guy in the next tent over snoring but it started to get closer, then I heard footsteps and something heavy stepped on the corner of my tent. I waited for the sound to get fainter and stuck my head out the tent to see a bear's ass disappear into the brush. I went back to sleep but a while later the noise came back and this time the bear stuck his head under my rain fly and his face was just a few feet from mine, I pulled a big knife out of my backpack and stuck it into the side of the bears snout somewhere between its eye and the tip of its nose. It ran off into the woods and was never seen again.

That's fucking cruel dude.

I've always thought this whole "bear repellent" thing was the biggest load of crap I'd ever heard. But I'd rather spray a bear with bear repellent than stab the poor bastard in the nose.

Give a person a match and they'll be warm for a minute, but light them on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their life. =)

The game warden said the week before this happened people had reported a bear around the area, and it was probably this same one, and they were going to shoot it if it showed up around people again, so I probably saved its life, I mean if you were a bear and a person stabbed you in the face would you ever go near people again? Either way though if an animal capable of eating me tries to come in my bed its getting stabbed or shot no matter what, and I'll ask questions later. Better me than him is the way I figure.

But the truth is I love animals.

In Yosemite they "shoot" the bears, but it's only with beanbag rounds. It scares them but doesn't kill them.

I like bears. I occasionally woke up in the morning to find them sleeping on my driveway at one place I lived.

You're lucky it didn't rip the shit outta you after you did that.

The game wardens words were "the bear will be destroyed", so by shoot I didn't mean with beanbag rounds

I'm forced to agree with this one. You are VERY lucky.

And I got a buddy that is a game warden here in Tennessee. They'll shoot most anything with a good enough reason. He has a very funny story involving having to kill a bald eagle. Where it came from, we're still not sure. But a bear that is wandering into designated camping areas is a good enough reason.

In Yosemite I think they give them the benefit of the doubt, several times over. It being actually the bears territory that the humans are encroaching into; and usually leaving out tasty morsels that they should be stowing in the bear boxes at the sites.

They beanbag them, and also use drug darts, then transport them to other places. Though they HAVE killed bears there who were being outright aggressive, if the bear is after the twinkies you left outside ... that's not aggressive behavior in and of itself, it's just hunger.
For instance, if you had food INSIDE your tent (where it's not supposed to be, campsite or wilderness both, if the bear isn't attacking you, or showing outright aggression, it would prolly like to know why you stabbed it for tempting it with food. (also, bug spray, deodorant, toothpaste, etc)


BTW, are we totally derailed here or does this all really have something to do with BEAR REPELLENT ?

my point was as Hephatitus said, bear repellent is required for all urban exploration. but is not needed for camping. those are the rules of engagement(ROE)

Ugh. My fight against stupidity must continue. I have gone on plenty of urban explorations and have never run across a bear. So it is obvious that bear repellent is NOT needed for all urban explorations. If anything, it would be MORE essential for camping where you would have food and stuff that would attract bears in.

.... Fine. Let me be more specific.....


I have never used the repellent and have not come across a bear so therefore it is not essential.
