And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

About to discover how fast a guy can crawl backwards
woodland/jungle survival course I took at Ft Howard in the 1970s had a lecture on the alternate uses of the .38 special FMJ cartridge/pistol(the usefulness of that weapon in the field was doubtful) when you and someone else was being pursued by those with foul designs upon your tender body. the gist of the lecture was that it is always easier to run faster without a bullet hole in the leg than with.
There's a young lady here in my town that worked for the wildlife agency taking baby cubs out of their mother's den in winter in order to get their vital statistics. She would crawl into the den in the dead of winter when the sow was in hibernation and grab the cubs and bring them outside to weigh and measure.
I'm thinking his reverse trip pavement might just be paved in moist. smelly, brown macadam.

ReplyDeleteI'm betting the camera person get's out. Like they say, you don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than the other guy ;>}

DeleteSo I'm guessing they found this GoPro in a pile of bear crap that smelled like pepper spray?
ReplyDeleteUsed to be a guy in PA that used to do that. I think his name was Gary Alt. He's still alive. You could look him up.
ReplyDeleteTunnel rats carried a .45 and a flashlight. There was a reason why.
ReplyDeleteHopefully some earpro of some kind—.45 is loud enough in the open air, but in a cave? Great way to go deaf.
