It came in last night. . . and it came from one of the Busse Combat cell phones in Alaska. . . . :confused:

I couldn't make it out as it just sounded like a bunch of rumbling and grinding noise. So, I played it for the crew at the shop and Waz thought that he might have a friend who could help to decipher it. . .

We forwarded it onto his friend, who as it turns out is a zooligist, and he said with 95% certainty that it was the sound of a grizzly bear's digestive system!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: . . .

Problem is, we're not sure if it is Beef or Shwah (Josh)

I do know that for 2 weeks prior to the show in Alaska that Beef was practicing his quick draw with a Ruger 9mm and shooting at targets on either side of him that were only 21" off of the ground. He would throw a pound of cooked bacon at the target and then fire three rounds into it!!!

When I asked him what the purpose was in this, he exclaimed that 21" was the exact height of Shwah's knees!!! He further explained that in the case of a Grizzly attack, he would simply blow one of Shwah's knees out and flavor him with bacon. . . . :eek:

Hmmmm . . . . Makes me wonder if the grizzly who ate our cell phone has bacon breath???? :eek:

We'll keep you updated,

Jerry :D

The bears up here prefer "pepper spray" flavor and love the sound of tourist walking with "bear/dinner bells" on.
 
This applies in Alaska also...

For those hiking in areas with both black bears and grizzlys, here is some important info from the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch.

"Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch is advising hikers, hunters, fisherman and any persons that use the out-of-doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field.

We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advance warning to any bears that might be close by so you don't take them by surprise.

We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry "Pepper Spray" with him in case of an encounter with a bear.

Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear shit has bells in it and smells like pepper."
 
Well at least he is smart enough to know that a 9mm would only annoy a Grizzly.....

And as they say - You don't have to be faster than the bear .... just faster than the next guy.....:D
 
things I've heard growing up here...

357 or less save the last round for yourself....

And have the front sight removed so the bear will have an easier time inserting said small handgun into your kiester...

Boy, you haven't lived as long as the rest of us, so you have less to lose, yer sleeping by the door as 'bear bait', and don't forget to yell to wake the rest of us before it kills ya or drags ya off...

Man there's lots of bear around the camp.... we should drink all this beer so we can string the cans up around the perimeter to warn us if one comes close....

And some pics of white bears near Wainwright AK

Good news Jerry.
We found your crew north of Telkeetna taking in the view of our little mountain known as Denali.

Put them in the "Busse" truck shuttle and returned them safely to their hotel.

Please let us know if they get lost again.

Ha!ha!ha! Thats some funny stuff right there Mulder. I think i'd have something like a 454 casuall or 475 linebaugh though instead of a 9mm. :eek::D
 
Hahaha! Awesome! Jerry, you have a crazy imagination! At least, I'm assuming it's an imagination :eek::D

Great shots of the boys! Love the tshirt Beef ;)

Alaska looks like an amazing place. Thanks for the pics :)

I included this shot of the tourist plaque cause it showed we were 41.5 miles from the Mtn. Peak

Pic of Mulder, Beef and Josh. Beef is looking up in the gorge to his left. The one thing that is unique about the gorge is that the elevation at the base is 700' and then the summit of Mt McKinley is 20,320'. That makes McKinley the tallest Mtn in the world from Base to Summit, take that Texas,HAHA

Please tell me this is our cryptic introduction to the new big Busse chopper, the Grizzly Attack!! :thumbup::D:thumbup:
 
We'll gang you can stop looking.
I deciphered the clues in Jerry's post and found the DOG TAG Jerry had the gang hide while they were here in Alaska :D
Not sure what it's worth because in the past the tags give a shop credit but maybe this one means Jerry is going to send me a STEEL HEART :eek:
