#3 Unfortunately, not getting eaten by bears was *next* week's lesson.

If you are in to the Eaten By Bears genre, Herzog's film "Grizzly Man" is highly recommended, both for the horror and the abject stupidity.

Yes P2k, outrunning the teacher appears to be a requirement for graduation.

#6 I'm amazed that bear mauling is available at the Mountaineering 101 level. University of Alaska Southeast must be an especially advanced school.

#7 Then there were the 2 guys from the Europe, A Romanian and a guy from Checkoslavakia. They were both attacked and eaten by a pair of bears.
The Romanian they found, upon examination in the she bear, but just like they always say, the Chech was in the male......

#8 When I am even walking in our neighborhood, I pack bear heat. Head on a swivel. Especially in early spring.

#10 Was up in the Rockies not too long ago. Mid morning, put the trash out in the bear resistant can on the porch. Seconds later, I hear the can move as if a wind picked up. Slowly and quietly opening the door, I see a two foot at the shoulder Brown Bear cub trying to figure the can.

I strong whispered, "Hey bear" and that darn thing jumped its height and took off running.
