I wonder where those guys are now?
huh. When I was 20 ish, we were camping, and we found some black bear spoor near camp. That night, when we started getting scared, I got my 24 oz claw hammer (same one I built that deck with) and put it near my sleeping bag. My friends thought I was nuts because I said if a bear attacked, me I would be caving it's head in instead of trying to outrun it.
