If you keep all your food out of the bear triangle and keep all your smellables in a bear bag on a bear cable, there is no fucking way a bear will even come near your campsite. Bears are smart. They wont wander in like a dog, checking just to make sure. No fucking way. They just move on. Seen this happen dozens of times. I have lived outside, in a tent for 3 summers. Camping out basically about 150 nights. In bear country. No bear ever fucked with me. Because I followed the bear rules. Not human rules regarding bears. But the rules that bears live by when they are out wandering around.
Note: My rules are for black bears. Not grizzly. I have no idea what grizzlys are capable of.
I had to google what a bear canister is. That is not enough. Anything that smells needs to go in a bear bag, plus all cooking gear including stoves. Sunscreen, bug repellent, eating utensils, chapstick. It must all go up in the bear bag. There is no room for discussion about this. None.
In addition, no food can ever come into contact with sleeping gear or tents. No food can be stored in a tent or eaten in a tent, ever. Not once. Even if you ate some stew in a tent 5 months ago, then wanted to take the tent to bear country. No. No fucking way.
I have camped around bears many many times. If you follow the food rules, you will not have any bear problems. Sumping food, sumping grey water is essential too.
I have seen black bears in New Mexico and Colorado break into bear proof dumpsters and bear boxes. Bear cables work great if they are up high and in between two good sized trees. Impossible for a bear to get a grip on braided steel cable like that. They will just move on.
Why dont they put up permanent bear cables in campgrounds so that you can hoist up bear bags at night?
Bear cables work very well and impossible for bears to get into.
I have only seen one bear ever, above treeline, which in the Rockies is about 9800 feet. The only one I saw was in a saddle, it was commuting between two peaks from one valley to the next.
In college some chick told me "You are not dateable, you are more the kind of guy I will eventually marry". I guess I was not up to her slut standards.
"You dress like my dad" was another one I got in college.
Yes, it makes you realize how unoriginal Airplane really is. All they did was add some lines to the straight script to make it funny. When you watch the Youtube edit, you realize that the whole script for Airplane was probably jotted down on the back of a cocktail napkin.
Airplane is a spoof of some other film from the 50s. TMC showed the original film about a month ago. It was interesting because the film was straight. Airplane was a total spoof of it and made the original look so odd. The original happened in Canada. Food poisoning etc.
Much of their material was given to them by the Americans. Their trucks and tooling machinery were American. Bust up the machinery in the factories and the Soviets were fucked.
You dont understand how the Soviet Army works. There was no surrender allowed. Soldiers were just cogs in the machine. No fucking going backward. Only forward. No retreating allowed.
The Soviets would have just dug in where they were and starved to death, ate dirt and sticks, waiting and waiting. They would not leave. Where would they go. So many of them were fucking released prisoners or peasants. They were trash.
They lost millions of soldiers in the last year of the war!
How many lives did they lose just taking Berlin? 100,000+ killed, 300,000 wounded. Germans lost 100,000 and 125,000 civilians were killed taking the city. Not efficent at all.
