If you see that coming at you in the woods you can curl up in the fetal position and just accept your fate!

Sorry the link doesn't work. Easy to find on Youtube.I can't view this video . Gotta love videos made inaccessible .
Ron White ? If that's "'Tater" , sorry I missed it .
Yup, it's Tater Salad in top form
He's a little sketchy on technical knowledge, but I do know of a polar bear killed by a handgun at point blank range. In a tent.
Anyway, he's a comedian. Take it with a grain or two. Not salt - Grain alcohol that is...

As in judged by 12 sophisticated bears vs being carried off by six bears? I’ve studied bear law, and either way it’s not looking good.

My name means "bear" in Norwegian, or so my grandfather told me. I wonder if it will help keep the bear from attacking me. Kindred spirits, or who knows I could have some bear blood in me, considering how much the Vikings liked to rape, and how proud my grandfather was of being Norwegian.

It would be nice, but since boars kill cubs to free up the sows for mating, and bears fight for different reasons I wouldn’t count on it.
Best to tap into your Viking swordsmanship!

And if that Viking sword/axemanship fails, Viking mating skills are a last resort!It would be nice, but since boars kill cubs to free up the sows for mating, and bears fight for different reasons I wouldn’t count on it.

That bear paw claw necklace is certainly fashionable . but it would sure hurt some if you fell on it. or got punched in the chest .
I made a necklace with teeth from my first piranha catch as a teen in Venezuela. I think I wore it for about 10 seconds before it cut me!
Some things are better as curios.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru_(fish)No, but I was told by some native people to wear tight fitting bathing suit when in fresh water! I heard some pretty horrific stories about the candiru. I met some amazing indigenous people in the jungle there and loved spending time with them and learning. It was like being inserted into a National Geographic show.Hope you never were bait for one of these :

Lol!
Hugh Glass is the fellas name, and he would agree with the sentiment that grizzlies can, and will rip a person apart.
He had first hand experience!
