ashw_justin Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Oh... and a 'nicely planted ice-tool' wouldn't do shit against a non human predator... which is what the article was describing. Get some pepper spray. It's nice and refreshing when you get a good shot in the face. ...trust me. Do charging bears respond well to pistol rounds? Or does the pain just help make up their minds that they do indeed want to kill you? Really, to be safe I think we should all carry fully automatic shotguns and AK-47's into the wilderness, because you never know what's waiting for you out in the Big Bad Outdoors.

cracked Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 An AK47 would never cut it. You need an RPG to deal with those fearsome fish-eating cougars of the PNW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylou Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I've taken to traveling by tank in the backcountry to protect against killer snafflehound attacks. Really, it's much safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Yeah I changed my mind, I'm gonna support the gun lobby because I think not only do we have a right to carry guns everywhere, but it's a civic duty. Just like it's every honorable citizen's resposibility to shoot all threatening entities on sight, at least three times in a vital area. This guy, he's a f'ing liberal hag for not shooting the dogs too. They needed to pay for not obeying the leash law. In fact, he should be shot for not taking responsibliity for thoroughly utilizing his right to protect himself. From now on, all hikers are required to carry at least one firearm with them at all times, the magazine capacity of which is not to be less than 15 rounds and must by law contain at least 10% hollowpoints and 10% explosive rounds.

JoshK Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Oh... by the way... I carried my piece into forest lands today. Cought some really nice cutties and didn't really feel like lugging them back to the trailhead in a cougar infested area... Scott Harpell --You carry a gun when you go trout fishing in the backcountry because you think a cougar is going to attack you if you carry fish on the trail? I'm sorry pal, but you are truly a moron. How many times do you think you can do this your lifetime and not let luck catch up to you? I hvae done this near 15 times this month. I also do it for a living... I think my exposure level is a little bit more involved than some climber at smith rocks toting luna bars. Ask Fred Beckey or any long time cascade climber how often they carry guns into the wilderness. And I beg to differ. While I might get pretty hurt in the process I think an ice tool would kill anything off but a bear, and the chance of a black bear attacking you are pretty slim. Do you honestly worry about some animal attacking you in the woods? That's pretty sad if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotterdamerung Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I don't need a gun. Whatever tough guy So I'm just wondering. If you're posting here that you carry a gun, do you carry it because you feel that you need it? ..Or do you just like guns? It's my job to carry a gun. Several of them in fact. It's also part of my job to be able to crush someone with my bare hands. Something I have become quite adept at over time. What's it to you tough guy?

cracked Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Well I suppose that is your opinion, but I think you would be hard pressed to find someone where I work not packing heat. Well, you're pretty fucking tough, but you said you carry your gun along when you go trout fishing to ward off all the cougars waiting alongside the trail to kill you for your trout. Which strikes me as unlikely, and more than a bit paranoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know dude, I think cougars generally attack by stealth, from the back and from above. And they go straight for the neck, so you're half-way to dead before you even know you're under attack. I advise walking backwards with the sidearms cocked and loaded, otherwise that hip-weight is doing nothing more than slowing you down.

In washington, only one adult has died to cougar attacks. I would like to still limit the amout of time this guy is on top of me. bast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
