Mickalino Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I heard that bears really dislike fire. Could this be the only fool-proof repellent in case of a bear attack, during my Alaska trip ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Could be. I don't see any bears there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueTalon Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 If you're going to be in Alaska in a place where you face the real possibility of encountering a bear, you need firepower. Your flamethrower will work (he says, tongue in cheek), but it will get heavy after a while. Seriously, I recommend a revolver with a caliber no smaller than .454 Casull. That's what's in my left hand in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baculus Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I never knew this, but apparently there is bear repellant - it's "bear" spray, and it is basically hot pepper spray. http://www.safetygearhq.com/bearspray.htm I guess it is better then nothing, though I'd be a little nervous if that was the only thing that stood between me and a charging grizzly. I'd prefer the .454. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Lots of roast beef sammiches.. they love them... double meet if they got cubs... they prefer if you leave them in the tent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Maybe I'll just stop by the SPC and pick up some puppies, and walk thru the woods with the doggies on a leash, and if a bear charges, I'll just toss up the pups towards the beer, to give them a snack to keep 'em a busy while I take off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Originally posted by NavyDave Flame broiled bear burgers, hold the pickles Bear meat's not that good. It's greasy and gamey, plus bears carry trichinosis. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear meat is going to taste awfully good on September 11th in Chicago. Just ask LaVar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Originally posted by redskins4life234 Denali wont let ypu bring any repellents in. Please explain. What kind of repellants are you referring to ? I know they dont allow guns, but are you saying they dont even allow Pepper Spray repellants ?

Mickalino Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Originally posted by BlueTalon Who or what is Denali? Denali is the name of the National Park that surrounds Mt McKinley, the highest point in North America. The park by itself is about the size of Massachussetts, and it is thriving with wildlife, such as brown and black bear, caribou, moose, wolves, fox, marmot......not to mention some of the best hiking, camping, and natural scenic views in the world.

Hmm. If I ever have occasion to go to Denali, I will be packing heat. I understand what rules are for, but rules that are not well thought out and that could jeapordize my life are not rules that I'm going to take too seriously. The possibility of meeting up with a brown bear (or even a black bear) is one that should not be taken lightly. My heat would fall under the category of "what they don't see won't hurt me."
