Re: Reg 3 & 5 - Do you carry bear protection? If so, what?
I was invited on a climbing expedition into The Cirque of the Unclimbables in Nahanni back in the 90s. The plan was to do a new route on the Lotus Flower Tower (no really... look it up!). I think my buds who won the grant to pay for the trip invited me because I can shoot both my Nikons AND my Defender. In the end, I couldn’t make it. A few days later I asked what they planned to do about bear defense. They said “we each bought a can of spray”. I said “Umm, I don’t think that’s going to stop a grizzly”. They said in unison “oh, it’s not for the bear. We’re going to spray each other, and whoever is a quicker draw, and better shot will get away while the bear is eating the guy who was slower!”
Lickily they too didn’t see any bears.
Nowadays I have either my 1895GS with 405 grainers, or my .357 with 180 grain cast bear loads. The .45-70 gets the nod if I know I’m on grizzly turf.

If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?
