That’s why you carry a .500 S&W when you pitch a tent in
lion country.
Bear country too!
Backup for the .500? Travel with a club-foot collectivist.
Peter Allison’s book, ” Whatever You Do, Don’t Run” offers good advice. Told with wit and humor.
He is from Australia , but was a safari guide in Africa for many years.
That’s a camping trip you’ll never forget.
This reminds me of a fine book I read a few months ago. You can find it at Project Gutenberg.
The Man-Eaters of Tsavo and Other East African Adventures by Lieut.-Col. J. H. Patterson, D. S. O. Published in 1907.
There aren’t very many men like Patterson, and men don’t write very many books as good as this one.
What’s that line…..I don’t have to out run the bear I just have to out run you.
Uncle Al, another great book is Jim Corbett’s , Man-Eaters of Kumaon.
A former hunting guide turned Tiger conservationist , who there after only hunted and killed man eating tigers in India.
I recall reading a book about a couple who spent their winters in Colorado doing avalanche research , but spent their summer traveling by kayak or row boat along the northern coast of far north countries or Alaska. Tent camping along the shore. In one they told of grizzly bears pushing on their tent , these were bears that likely had no contact with man. They wrote that they would scare the bears away by yelling, Hey Bear! Even bears fear the unknown. And they had never seen a tent or heard a human voice.
I wondered how many other adventure travelers had similar experiences, except the bear didn’t run away, and they didn’t come home to write a book about their summer adventure trip .
