Newt: Why do they tell little kids that?
Ripley: Most of the time it's true.
I just can't imagine being dragged out of my sleeping bag in the middle of the night by something like that.
This is a perfect case of why people should always carry or be around others who do. I have camped, worked, hunted, played and lived in Grizzly country all of my life and I have never been unarmed. Pepper spray has it's place, but not in a tent or in a sleeping bag..
I do have to say, I would not have expected a bear to be that brazon around so many people.. Not a pleasant way to go...
