Previously. Clay has more pictures and recap from his recent outing to our homeland of Alaska where with a few buddies they went on a lengthy multi-day man hike that took them across nearly every variety (aka all kinds) of wilderness Alaska has to offer, including a close encounter with a bear while they were fishing. As Clay writes of the encounter:
I notice two fishermen crossing the river at a fast point, and behind them, a large brown bear rustling in the woods behind them.
“BEAR” I say loudly and point
The fishermen look up confused
“BEAR” we all say, and point.
“Shit” says the one fisherman, turning an about face at the swiftest part of the river and crossing back to us and the safe side, standing a good distance behind the four of us. The other fisherman wades across the river and proceeds upstream a safe distance from the bear. We look at him in disbelief and inquire to the man standing with us.
He responds “I don’t know, that’s just my friend’ as if embarrassed by his friend’s lack of reaction to the large Grizzly.
Clay took photos of the incident and I'll save them for you to look at on his site: it's well worth it. Believe you me.
