Pretty sure the honey slather is already in the plan for young Dayten, just has nothing to do with attracting bears

Be sure to tie ALL of your food high in a tree and away from sleeping area in the evening.
Up in the trees the lions will get it. They are excellent climbers.

She must have spilled something in the kayak or went fishing and let the fish flop around in the bottom.
Black bears will kill you if you play dead, that only works with Grizzlys!Play dead
Sounds like a good situation to have a 10MM Glock with you.

(Bears lives matter) too ya know!... Lol
Can't you just ask the bear to leave, nicely?
Need to prove shit? DEC can do whatever the fuck it wants! As long as you leave the animal and report it (not taking the animal, trophy, etc.). What's the problem? Can't prove shit! Or are they going to put body cameras on all animals, or hell, any person in State land be required to wear them...? Anyways...
Bear comes too close, which isn't a natural thing for them anyway, I'm not gonna try and figure out what it's intent is...
And yeah, that .22 would then make it a fun day!
Ok, now all that paranoia aside...
You camped before? Know how to camp out in the wild? Like not sleeping with the clothes on that you were wearing when you ate? Tying all the garbage in a bag and lift it up off the ground (in a tree). Etc., Etc... And yes, go to bed wearing sneakers, hahaha, cause you just got to be faster than your friend!
Yes, I know the basics, but with only one other person? I haven’t done that yet. I assumed not to sleep in the clothes you’ve eaten in as well and I’ve heard to tie the stuff up in a tree. I’ve also heard don’t use scented shampoo and what not, etc. etc.
the most time I’ve spent sleeping outside without going in was 4 days and 3 nights. I’ve had a few copperheads slither on past me only a few feet away and that scares the shit out of you! After that I slept 100% in my sleeping bag and made it so nothing would be able to get in. When I woke up the lack of oxygen hurt my head sooooo bad. I sleep in underwear with shoes next to me with socks over them so nothing crawls in but that’s about it. I have no issues sleeping in sneakers or boots, done it a million times.
I don’t possess a pistol yet lol, I was going to sleep with my Garand in my sleeping bag
I was hoping the bear would eat her to shut her up lmao
That would surely take care of any problems from man or beast without question.

Listen, I got two fears, heights and snakes and since I’ve been doing roofing on the weekends I’ve almost conquered the fear lmao
Still gotta get my permit. Won’t have the time to now until I come back from deployment.
I was talking about your M1. That’ll handle just about anything on the continent.

DEC will literally come out to the shooting site. Draw the trajectories, find the bullets, the cases. Map the trampled ground. Interview you and your friend 10 times looking for inconsistencies.
If you shoot a bear before it bites or claws a human, the odds are you will be charged by DEC.
And this is not a case of judged by 12 or carried by 6. Bear spray is about 100% effective and will not cause any of these issues.
People protection? That’s another issue.
Do not have the Garand loaded in your vehicle!!

Major cross thread points!
On a separate topic I have it on good authority that human beings dont much like being bear sprayed, either.
