[QUOTE="Ripper, post: 411683, member: 25842"] You would think when you have multiple bear attacks that people would learn... Is it me or does it seem reasonable to bring something to protect your family and self just in case something like this could happen? I mean atleast have a steel pot next to you so you can ding the bear upside the head with it. I can't imagine loosing a family member "son, daughter, wife" like this getting mauled to death. What a horrible way to go... Reading the one story; you hear someone screaming in the camp next to you and one would think atleast recon it and see what is going on? A lady screaming bloody murder you'd think you might want to see what is going on? People these days... 1.
