I think whoever started that rumor about the sasquatch has watched the six million dollar man to much. And as I recall that one was a robot so it might take a LAW to take it down. I've never claimed bravery, I'm simply impulsive and too dumb to let fear rule me. Were these cases you cited on dust or ice or some other drug. We had a copy of street survival in the lending library and it was pointed out that one individual took 33 rounds of 9mm to put him down. If aliens came here why would they want oil? Surely they would have far more advanced energy sources? I certainly hope to never be probed by anyone or anything.

ROTFLMAO!!! I have this image in my head of a big burly dude face down in the forest, his big bare butt sticking up in the air, with a 454 handle sticking out. Meanwhile a Sasquatch is sitting leaned up against a nearby tree bleeding out.

Watch the Jack's Links commercials. Don't mess with Sasquatch!

Lol Ben. That's funny. But Painful.

I busted my gut on that image. Wife looking at me like something is wrong with me. I tried telling her between guffaws and coughing fits. Apparently she doesn't have the imagination I do.

For some reason most ladies just don't get our (men's) sense of humor. You know they all think we're just over grown children, don't you? Mine has mastered the art of rolling her Persian eyes. Hey, at least you didn't picture a bear having his way with me as I sobbed uncontrollably and sucked my thumb. Lol.

It's to go on a survival vest. No room on there for my .375 H&H Mag, or .460 Weatherby Mag (which hasn't been out of it's case in the safe for about a decade). Assuming I survive a crash and can retrieve my long guns and gear then fine and dandy. But if I can only make it out with the vest I want the nest, most powerful gun I can handle.

Not me. I would be content to have a single shot 22 and enough ammo to get me by. A good knife would be better for me. I can find much better ways to deal with bears and other would be predators after ditching out. In fact, I'd prefer becoming the predator of them than letting them consider me their chow.

Yet another reason why I don't need to go out into the wilderness just to explore what's there. Every trip needs a purpose, for me anyways. Otherwise it is just reconnoiter??? Purpose being a material objective. Surviving a wreck is just an opportunity for material gain, in that case.

It is a different perspective than most people might have, but then if you've read my posts, you know that's me.

My friend in Alaska lives out where it takes a bush plane to get to. Which isn't exactly the safest mode of transportation. So if it goes down I could be bear bait. Or alien/sasquatch bait. Never know, might run into a bunch of good ol' boys who tell me You sure do have purty mouth on you boy. I'd be mighty happy to have big gun to dissuade them.

The 1st Alaskan Combat Intelligence Platoon-Castner's Cutthroats- chose to arm themselves with .22 target pistols during the Aleutian Campaign. Seems like an intelligent choice.

Consider a trip to the south of France Festival of the Bear in preparation for the Alaskan adventure.
