British Columbia

You are so right about the drought.

My family lives on the eastern slopes of the rockies and bear activity has been sketchy this past three years.

Those experienced people just randomly got eaten at yaha tinda for instance, I know that area like the back of my hand and something like that happening is pretty much unheard of.

Two years ago I got charged by a grizzly for the first time - but it's so outlandish people struggle to believe my story. I was in nordegg in the spring hiking up a fire line with a friend and we could see several kilometers ahead. Friend and I saw 3 black dots maybe like 5km up and we were pondering whether the objects were getting closer or further from us as we hiked on. After some time it became obvious and it was indeed a mom and two cubs charging straight towards us. We ran back to the truck, by the time we ran 1km the bears had almost closed the entire distance. I'm not sure what the fuck that was about, even if they could smell something in the truck that is just plain desperate behaviour.
