Boat time for Little Miss BaileyđŸŸ

I went to Montana recently and I found it odd that they rent you bear spray at the airport. Right next to baggage claim, they have a little booth where you can rent spray that will help you fight off the world’s most perfect predator.

That’s a little weird, right? I mean if you flew to Fort Lauderdale and in the airport they rented you alligator spray, you’d think, “This is a big issue. These alligators are out of control. You guys need to do something about all these alligators.”

They make you watch a little video that explains how to use the bear spray. That’s how you become an expert at surviving an attack from a 1500-pound animal that can run 30 miles per hour and has claws longer than most steak knives. With a 90 second training video.

The video says, “Make sure you hold the canister in your right hand, pull the safety up and away with your left hand and then do quick 2 second bursts of spray with the trigger. It’s critical that you aim for the chest, not the head.

Do you know what’s going to happen if a bear is charging me? None of that.

Bear spray is ornamental at best. It’s sriracha for the bear. The other thing they give you are bells
to wear while you’re walking through the woods, which I am sure is terrifying for grizzly bears.

We saw a grizzly bear across a lake and it was sprinting along the shore, jumping into the water and swimming, leaping over rocks and trees. It looked like it was doing bear parkour. There was no part of me that thought, “Yeah, that bear is a little intimidating but I bet he doesn’t know I have a bell. So it’s a pretty level playing field right now.”

When you’re hiking around Glacier National Park, you find yourself unconsciously letting other people go in front of you. Not because you’re kind, but because that way, they’re going to be the one who spooks the bear. That entire vacation, as I kept rattling off bear facts to my wife, she kept saying, “Jon, I think you’re overthinking this. You’re really overthinking the bears. Stop overthinking.”

DNA tests have confirmed a grizzly bear killed by wildlife officials is the same bear that attacked and killed a camper last week in the tiny western Montana town of Ovando, officials said Wednesday.
