That is the attitude I like! If you're lucky you'll see a grizzly. If
you're unlucky, it will be in the campground. :-)

Just to make sure! If I participate next year. It is not easy to
get that heavy handgun here in Finland. And if I carry it with
me when flying to states, I will be classified as terrorist?

Is it posssible to get such from your side just for that clave plus
have some kind if shooting training before the clave? .44 or even heavier?

I'd advise against transporting a handgun (heavy or otherwise) from
Finland to the US. The same goes for boxcutters and even Bic pens. :-)

If you want to shoot some weapons in Montana, I'm sure you can find some
arrangements. I don't know the details, but Warren can help you out.

To tell the truth, if I'm riding into backcountry thick with grizzlies,
the .357 magnum I'd carry would just mess him or (more likely) her up
for revenge after I'm dead. Your best weapon is avoidance, but avoidance
doesn't mean you shouldn't come to the Clave.

Practice tree climbing and always go out with someone you can outrun.

scream like a girl whilst sitting in my truck)

Tree climbing does not work here, because the bear is good in tree climbing
also.
The second advice is better!

Hmmm, visuals. Skinny guy with grey curly hair in his underwear doing
the masochism tango with a 6 foot, 350 lb flatulent ursine as the
high-pitched scream of insane brood X cicadas wafts in the background
(yeah, cicadas, thats what made that noise). Did I tell you that the
bear also got my Viagra?

Only very young grizzlies can climb. However, there are also black
bears (smaller, but generally do more harm) and they can climb.

Legend has it that if you climb a tree to get away from a bear, the
black bear will climb after and get you, the grizz will look the
situation over and knock down the tree and get you. Probably a bit
more likely than the run faster legend. In either case, if someone
starts running, they can trigger the chase reflex. Since both kinds
of bears can outrun any human, well... So if I'm with you and we spot
a bear and you run, I'm going to stand still and look like a tree
until the bear is dining happily and then I'll sneak off a different
way and report the sordid story.

On the other hand, I've read about a guy who climbed a tree to get
away from a black. It kept trying to drag him down by the foot and he
kept kicking it in the nose. Eventually it got tired of that fun,
hung around a while to see if he'd come down and then took off. He
then climbed down and limped off for some medical help. I have never
heard of a grizz knocking down a tree to get at a potential victim.
Not saying one couldn't give a relatively small tree a good shaking,
though, and if it's a solo event, how would we know what exactly went
wrong?
