Picked up bear repellent (Mace) today. The next 3 days of hiking are in areas where bears have been seen recently. My wife was freaked out and babbling with the guy at the outdoor store. At one point she said, "so if the bear is running at me ...".
LMAO. First I told her that if a bear runs at you, you're already dead. Secondly, she's not holding the bear spray. If it's in her hands, we're fucked. Lastly, I had to cut her off and tell her that the guy at the store she is talking to already assumes she is dead meat if she runs into bear.
