Thread: My Backpack List

My fear of bears disappeared after the second night. It then turned to wolves.
If I saw a bear that wasn't afraid of me, I wouldn't shoot it. I would shoot up in the air to scare it away. ... if it wasn't afraid of me.
Plus, we had some fun shooting targets. That's enough reason to bring a gun for me.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some guns. I have just never thought about needing them for bears. Now that I say this I am probably going to get attacked next time I'm up there.
I am starting to get a little off subject but I have heard that if you are confronted by a wolf pack, the best way to avoid being attacked and eaten (assuming you don't have a gun) is to get loud and aggressive and start jumping around and throwing things. They say that they won't attack if they see a possibility of being hurt themselves.
Has anyone else heard this? or is this a bunch of BS

When we got home, I tried to research this supposed fact, and as of yet I haven't ever heard or read of a person being attacked or even killed by a wolf pack.
Lone wolves on the other hand are more dangerous, and that is usually because they are starving to death (literally).

I'll bet you could just punch the ground with those bad boys and the shock wave will send all the critters running in fear. Run them through the waters and all the fish will jump out and submit to you. I'll bet they are so hot you can cook with them too.
I think that you should change your backpacking list to:
1. Badass gloves.
And that's all you need.

He said people think wolves are very dangerous because they are portrayed that way in movies.
