Interesting how the device though perhaps life saving in this circumstance still caused a significant amount of confusion
how would Srupp put it - hmmmm

The difference between your face and leg with a can of spray makes no difference if it gets pointed in the wrong direction or gets away from you. My feeling is that even if things go to shit and you get into close quarters it’ll be attached to you still. Let out a big cloud from underneath and at least you’ll be a real spicy meal for it.
i set my inreach up to track me and send track points to the wife(and usually my two brothers) every hour. I'm pretty sure she can forward the link to someone else and they can track me too. So, she should have been able to forward the link to sar and not worry about it.
Its a good piece of mind to have on you when you're exploring. I give the wife a general idea of where I'm going and let her know when I shut the tracking off
If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.
funny thing came to mind.
I am fascinated with the ocean, and would love to be a snorkeler/spear fisher and surfer.
Seen Jaws, and I rarely go in past the knees...lol
then you take my dad, hunts exclusively alone, and if there is even a gutpile in the vicinity, and is believed to be taken
by another hunter/go, he just "has to" go check it out!!!
Crazy guy, with very little fear!
Worse now, cause his "hearing has gone to shit"....lol
Hunted many times alone since the 60’s.
Some pointers
-don’t be cheap on equipment/gear including footwear & clothes….get the best quality if possible.
-be prepared for the worst such as inclement weather, accident, medical problem, vehicle breakdown….
-let others know where you’re going & what your general plans are
-be equipped with a Spot & a sat. phone . Having a Garmin GPS helps.
-use flagging to mark a trail from a kill site or when hunting in swampy or bushy areas.
-carry a small packsack containing emergency food, juice/water, first aid, space blankets, rope/shoelaces, flagging tape, Bic lighters, small flashlight, waterproof/windproof matches, extra batteries, extra ammo, toilet paper…
-carry a smaller hatchet, large knife & a sharpener
-forget about camo. Wear hunter orange vest &/or jacket & hat.
Personally I wouldn’t rely on bear spray to save your ass. Just recently 2 people were killed & many, many more have been badly mauled over the years after spraying bears.
Yes the bear spray saved the day but ˝ of my face is missing!
-loud yelling at the bear or using a loud whistle may help(been there done that).
-Camera/video camera optional
