ICanHasPlurk classic hiking joke. Two friends are in the woods when they spot a bear. One drops his pack and starts tightening his laces.

• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:20 ICanHasPlurk the other says, I don't need to outrun *him*, just *you*.

  June 11, 2008 at 19:28 ICanHasPlurk I only mention it because I might do some hiking this summer and the last time I was out, I saw a bear.
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:28 ICanHasPlurk but, I always hike alone. so, I'm pretty sure I'm going to carry bear mace.

  June 11, 2008 at 19:29 गिरिजा what is bear mace?
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:30 Cassiopoeia last time I was hiking I got stuck between a cow moose and her calf. Think bears are scary? Those things can kill you.
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:31 ICanHasPlurk yeah. but, they're usually more dangerous during mating season (the bulls)
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:31 ICanHasPlurk bear mace is a 7 ounce can that sprays a special mace (I think it's mostly pepper concentrate) up to 35 feet accurately.

  June 11, 2008 at 19:31 ICanHasPlurk and totally incapacitates a bear. it runs off crying and never comes back.
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:31 ICanHasPlurk but, it's only good for one shot
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:32 Tortilla wishes that she was a fast runner. I would be bear food.
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:32 Cassiopoeia can't you just yell and make a lot of noise (assuming it isn't hungry) and if that doesn't work, go fetal?
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:34 ICanHasPlurk those CAN work. but, the big thing with that is making yourself look big and finding a rock or something to stand on.
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:34 ICanHasPlurk the other real thing you could do is very quietly back up (don't run) and head in the other direction
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:34 ICanHasPlurk if it's after your food - drop the pack
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:34 ICanHasPlurk last resort - hit it in the nose.
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:34 ICanHasPlurk bears have EXCEEDINGLY sensitive noses.
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:35 Tortilla Bears apparently can't run down hills all that fast. Use that to your advantage!
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:36 ICanHasPlurk THAT I will remember
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:36 ICanHasPlurk Thanks tortilla
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:37 Tortilla No problem! I've been harbouring random information since 1991!
• 
  June 11, 2008 at 19:37 Cassiopoeia I thought the nose thing was sharks . . . though I suppose if you hit anything really hard in the nose it could work, except jellyfish
