Okay that guy does have some issues.

re: #215 Talking Point Detective

I’ll never forget watching tourists stop their cars and get out to get closer to bears in Yellowstone. Grizzlies if I’m not mistaken.

I’ve had face to face encounters with bears a few times. I did a few years of bush work. Never been super scared, just very cautious and wary—-okay Mister Bear, I’ll go this way and you go that way.

Grizzlies? Never been face to face but they freak me out. I don’t know how people could be that dumb. One time our truck broke down about 5 k from camp. The radio wouldn’t work because of the terrain so we decided to hoof it back. There were five of us and one of the guys (who had spent years in the bush) was walking ahead. When we rounded a curve he suddenly stopped, looked down for a moment, turned back and said, “Okay everyone, don’t ask, just everyone run.” So we did, he was that type of guy. Ended up that he saw grizzly tracks that were filling with water which meant that it had crossed the road seconds before we came around the bend.

You don’t fuck with grizzlies.
