The final conclusion on bears.

Bears like most animals are very similar to people. You can no less gauge a bear attack than a human attack. Or squirrel or mouse or elephant attack. We may debate ballistics all day. I must say with most certain conclusion that not one single human that I have ever met, read about or conspired to find out about has the answer. This must lead us to believe the following. Guns: if not in the hands of experienced gentlepeople are useless. Pepper spray: If in the hands of paranoid people is useless. Conclusion: Regardless of your preferred means of defense against these beautiful animals you are at a disadvantage. The only thing that will save you is the ammunition between your ears. YES carry a bigger gun. YES carry a bigger can of pepper spray and yes for the fun of it only hike with people that can’t run as fast as you.

In closing

Good day to you gentile readers…
