I've always maintained that everything in a kitchen (includes outdoor camp kitchens) is heavy, sharp, hot, surly, or some combination of those.
Don't mess with the cook.

I live in a sparsely populated area of private properties full of mountain lions, but they don’t get near people here. It could be, that they tend to more likely go after vacationers in the more populated parks and the like. Familiarity, maybe...?

I’ll share some information that I learned in a class over 30 years ago.
When an animal with a large-enough mouth attacks, don’t pull your hand away. Try to jam your hand/fist down the animal’s throat. They let go real fast and run away.

walloped the stunned cougar again,...popped it several more times for good measure... shot it a couple times — just to be sure.
They could have ran over it with their car just to really, really make sure.........LOL!

Looking forward to the new show “Cooking with Cougars”.

So, was it a mountain lion, a cougar or a puma or are all those the same thing?

Just your typical outdoors ping.

I hate it when I'm reminded that I'm not necessarily at the top of the food chain.
I encountered one of those circa 1992 in the Gila Wilderness.
Nothing like a 7' long 200 lb. cat to get your attention.
I was hunting and was armed with a .30-.30, a single-action revolver in .45 Colt and a knife. However, they were all in a pack leaning against a tree about six steps away (I had stopped to eat an apple and a sandwich and was sitting on a rock under a tree on the West Branch of the Gila River).
The cat was about 4' overhead, lounging on a horizontal limb. I got to my feet slowly and backed up to my gear at about one step every 10 seconds, never taking my eyes off the cat. I retrieved my gear and walked backwards at port arms at almost the same pace about 1/4 mile.
Just lucky it wasn't interested in me. I've been almost shredded by a house cat before, but that thing outweighed me.
From that point on, the rifle was always within reach and the knife and revolver on a hip.
That encounter still gives me the willies.
