[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 3034901, member: 8394"] I'll respond to this since I'm one of the people making light of the whole situation. But every 3 to 5 months we have a thread that goes 20 pages on bear protection, then a random poster will show up about a month later and revive it just in time for another thread to start. Most of my life without snow involves recreating or working in bear country, wandering around remote areas of alaska. Every hobby my wife picks up seems to put us smack dab in the middle of bear country even more.(packrafted almost all Sept, nothing more fun than floating down creeks in a paper thin raft with bears feeding on salmon... like a giant slow moving twinkie.) Could probably tell bear stories for hours, from funny to scary and everything in between. Heck of the contacts in my phone on a cursory scroll it looks like four contacts with bear bite scars. So I get the seriousness, but also realize almost all the incidents were solvable with better decisions and situational awareness. Some of the posts in this thread just make me laugh, took the first dozen threads seriously... now I'm just gonna recommend a 22 mag pistol to the knees of the guys your fishing with and a decent set of running shoes.
