Miner, aged 18, killed in Alaska grizzly attack
The mine has operated 30 years without a bear injury.
Counter attacking my ass
They always attack attack
It’s their nature
I walked a four mile trail at dusk tonight in middle Tn near where a puma has been spotted on trail cams ranging his domain
Believe me I was aware of it
We’re not accustomed to that here in this century
For 7 years I have been making my way down the Yukon starting in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. I’m now down to Ft. Yukon in Alaska and I’m always by myself. I sleep on the river bank each night in a cold camp after having cooked a meal around ten miles or so upriver.
I think 2 things relative to this article about this specific incident:
1. Working in bear country you must have an INSTANT and EFFECTIVE way to defend yourself. I have a 50 caliber S & W 5 shot revolver hanging from my neck at all times.
2. I think requiring some poor guy to work out in the bush in the middle of a large bear population without a sure fire way to protect himself has opened this company up for some major litigation.
