[QUOTE="SSgt G Cody, post: 2756460, member: 113303"] [B]Several years ago two friends and I went hunting in the peninsula of southern Alaska in early October. The first day the weather was nice, but snow was moving in. We planned to stay for almost a week. Coming back to camp the first afternoon we found that a grizzly had destroyed our tent, most of our food, and most of our gear. We all had soft wool thermal underwear on, and heavy rainsuits over our outergear; Thank GOD! We would have to survive another four days until Saturday noon when our guide service came back to pick us up. Each night we would huddle around our fire on makeshift pine needle beds, wrapped in tarps. The second afternoon the grizzly returned, and died quickly with a 300 WinMag pill thru his brain. We caped him out, and lived off his meat the rest of the week. We also got a nice deer each, in spite of 7 inches of snow that fell that week. As to valuable gear, that rain gear and thermal underwear saved our lives. I never go hunting without it![/B] [/QUOTE]
