I'd be delighted to have you around in camp in bear country, if only you
weren't such an obnoxious asshole.

Yeah, it's tough walking. It's even tougher to grow old. But, I've
spent many days on the banks of Alaskan rivers, within sight of brown
bears, and, whatyaknow, here I am! d;o) I have never heard of a fly
fisherman having a bad encounter with bears. I have seen about 100
bears each week I have spent in Alaska, and there was never even a
"close encounter." They are too busy feeding on the salmon to care
about humans.

In Kamchatka, where they are heavily hunted, the mere smell of a human
has them scurrying into the bush.

If I was in camp with you, I'd sleep with both hands protecting my
cock. Putz. d;o)
