You kids have fun w/that... I'll be in my tent.

innerSpaceman · 04-23-2007, 09:30 PM

And seriously, if I don't find a tentmate to aid in my insane bearnightfrights, I'm not even going.

I use a cane..so we could always fend the bear off with that. LOL

Okay, I get the idea of making noises to scare them off.

And, I thought of you, Disneyphile, when there was a big giant mosquito right outside my front door last night {I also do not like bugs and will see/feel them everywhere once I've seen one....summertime, fleas, freckles, PITA}.

True, I shouldn't be too afraid of bears. My s-i-l chased off a bear that was getting into their food supply during the night. Scared the kids she had with her senseless. {have they gone back? no.}

BUT my idea of the tent is that the bears are not stupid. Sure, they can get into anything, tents, cars, etc. But, they know better. I think they feel what ever is out there in the open is for them.

Something that always stuck with us was seeing a motorcycle with a big bite taken out of its' seat.

Why? Did they person have food under the seat {a secret compartment?} are a very bad case of gas? Hmm...{it was so like 'Where's the cream filling??}

OH and, anyone see the film about the guy who was mauled up in Alaska with his girlfriend by the bears? It was a very interesting movie and the talk here about no sex made me wonder if that could be what did them in? {no conversation value here unless anyone also saw the movie.....

I like what the Ranger told us about bears before we went hiking in Denali:

"Prey runs. You don't want to be prey. Stand your ground, be big and be loud. "

Maybe Cherny will invite you into our tent... you can keep him from trying to repopulate the planet with me

I thought Laurie was going?

Disneyphile · 04-23-2007, 10:30 PM

Geesh. People scared of little ol' bears......

Now, insects.... that's another story. And believe me, if I come into contact to an insect, the whole mountainside will hear the screams.

I have a very serious phobia, but I survive. If anyone should ever see something crawling on me, just brush it off, and tell me I had a fuzzle or leaf or something. Otherwise, my skin will crawl for a good 24 hours, let alone I won't be able to sleep.
