Yeah, as far as campgrounds go it isn't bad; not exactly a wilderness experience but I've camped at worse. I was just feeling kind of crabby because my wife insisted that we bring an insane quantity of bedding and her Walmart Circus Big Top Special instead of one of my backpacking tents, and we were camping with over fifteen small kids and their associated non-camping soccer moms who kept on complaining about the rain and driving off to the local Tim Hortons.

You from around there? My wife used to live about ten minutes from the campground.
 
I,m about 150 miles east of there . When I camped there I was next to a group of native immigrants who must have been from a fishing community . They were dancing all night with branches of foliage in their hands .

They thought my canoe was some kind of community activity . It took me a while to straighten them out . L:O:L

And you complain about soccer moms . I,ll trade you three big hairy natives for one soccer mom?
 
this man is a hero. God bless him and his dog. as he stated, without his dog, he might not be here... and i do wonder what knife he was carrying....

I once carried my USMC Ka-Bar on a canoe trip up in Canada. I wore it outside my pants "for all the honest world to feel".

Some French Canadian pansy liberal spotted it and had a tizzy-fit. I don't speak French, that's a good thing.

Since you don't speak French, how do you know he wasn't just being critical of your choice of knives? Could have been a Busse man! :)

To my esteemed brothers north of the world's most peaceful international border...

I in no way meant to disparage the citizenship of this fine country. I am well aware of the affection that so many Canadians have for sharp objects and firearms. I respect you.

The guy who had the tizzy fit was Canadian, spoke French, treated my knife as some kind of political statement and an object that possesed inherent evil. Even through the language barrier he came across with such a tone of moral superiority that it made me want to punch his lights out.

He in no way represents all Canadians, and I never thougth of him that way. I've had similar conversations with American liberals (RANT - Why in the world do we call them "liberals" when they are against every liberty that we hold dear? - RANT OFF) and I in no way feel they represent me.

BTW As bad as your ELITE LEFT can get up there, Brazil has you beat. IMO when the fight is between dogs and wolves you don't even bother to ask the sheep. Mac

Negative perspiration; absolutely zero offence taken. You see, a number of my (French Canadian) ex-inlaws probably make your guy look like Stockwell Day. They're great people, we got along very well, and I kind of miss them; don't get me wrong. But after years of discussing Quebec politics with them, even as a formerly card-carrying member of the Canadian Elite Left I can understand how severe the culture shock must have been on first encounter, even through the language barrier :D.

And it isn't a anglo/franco thing either; I've got a buddy who's as francophone as they come, and he's so gung-ho on the sharps/outdoors thing it's kind of scary.
 
I wonder if blowing loudly on a whistle might have discouraged the bear a little. When I was up in Minnesota with my buddy Shawn on a canoe trip we ended up doing this 3 or 4 times. Talk about radical sports, yes honey I went bear scarin´this weekend got me 3 of them. I also wonder if the bear mace would have been as effective as the Buck stabbing. Anyone have any idea? Tim

When "Black" bears are in the attack mode a whistle will not phase them,
they are there for one thing to kill and eat.Some other idiot (Timothy Treadwell)became bear food a couple of years ago he had filmed and touched hundreds of Brown bears.....the idiot got his girl friend eaten also.
 
Ok ok stop the trash about french canadians...they're not all stupid imbeciles you know??? don't get me wrong there's a lot of idiots in Québec...actually they're all idiots, except for me!!! That's probably why I don't get along with them??? By the way did I mention that I was french canadian??? Hey I'm not perfect!!! cheers
 
Hey, America is FULL of assholes who think "weapons are bad"... until they need one. They change their minds the second a speed freak with a meat axe smashes into their living room. So it's not just French Canadians.

But grrrr, that accent. ;)

There were (unforseen) reasons for that, it wasnt totally a bad call on his part judging from his experience with bears, it was just an unfortunate series of events. Still, he had a screw loose not to have had a Casul with him IMHO.

How do you think his hand got hurt? Do you think the bear turned it's head and one of its teeth caught his hand? Any chance he cut himself with the knife?
