There are a lot of things that I would be doing. Praying, defecating and the list goes on and on. That vehicle was a wonderful sight for the two of them. Especially once they were safe inside.
There is an old joke about two hikers who noticed a bear approaching them. One hiker knelt down and started tying his shoelaces. The other Hiker said, "Are you crazy? You cannot outrun a bear!" The response was, "I only have to outrun you."
Actually I believe with a black bear you DO NOT play dead, but fight back if attacked, and make yourself appear as large as possible before being attacked. With a grizzly you play dead. A bear can run about 35 mph for a short distance, so don't waste your time with that. Also, I wonder if these guys got themselves some real bear spray in the giant economy size to carry with them for next time.....
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

Play dead is good.

edutcher, that was a strange bear. He acted like he wanted to be friends, but you can't trust those things.

ReplyDeletebart, I'm of the opinion a person can run anywhere. Why the hell be with the damn bears?
