My pardner John swears by the Beretta Jetfire in .22 short. Since you never hike dangerous bear territory without a buddy, he reasons than when a furious old silvertip charges you can shoot your trail-mate in the kneecap and stroll nonchalantly back to the truck. He seems to suggest an in-law as the ideal companion in these circumstances
"I don't have to outrun the bear...I just have to outrun you!"
ReplyDelete:), yep.
ReplyDeleteAnd another pal added the African survival adage: You don't have to outrun the fastest lion. You just have to outrun the slowest gazelle.
