I am a little surprized that no one had a firearm available.

Tent is the most important word in the report.

RV is harder to enter and gives enough time to lock and load.

Goes to show you never bring a walker to a bear fight.

I camp with my dogs. The bear wouldn’t have gotten even close.

The minipin would have set up the argument, the maxipin would have attacked.

Bears just hate it when little dogs latch onto their noses, and big dogs bite their haunches.

P.S. the minipin is brave beyond stupidity. She WOULD attack anything, and probably die. The maxipin is cautious and would probably live to fight another day.

This got me to thinking if I would rather be awakened by a bear’s head poking into my tent, and giving me a thwack, or a zombie poking his head into my tent, and givng me a thwack.
I decided neither, and I don’t think I will ever go tent camping any place that has bears (or zombies).

Note to self: Do not pitch a tent near Miami’s MacArthur Causeway.

During my days in Phoenix before service in WWII I spent some memorable days in the area of Apache Junction, Payson and the Tonto National Forest. Always slept under the stars in a handmade sleeping bag. Don’t recall we ever worried about bears or other wild animals including more organized campers. We usually did have a 20 gauge shotgun for recreational quail hunting.
