Also, I went on an amateur off-the-beaten-path camping trip with my cousin last year. I thought a bear was going to eat us at one point. Not something I'll be doing again that's for sure!
Ahaha yeah I've always had a fear of bears. Then once a year n half ago I was up in the mountains in BC near my town and I saw a massive black bear and nearly shit myself. Luckily my puppy Shepherd didn't notice the bear because she was off leash at the time.
That's crazy man. First, I didn't know you lived in BC! And second, my cousin had the same experience. He was walking through the woods one time, turns a corner of a hill or something and there's this bear just staring at him. He said he just turned around and walked away lol. Sounds terrifying.

One day I will hike that trail when I am able to (no curfew) and have the money and resources needed to do the trip.
I am dying for an outdoor nature self exploration journey like that massive trail would be. Bring my German Shepherd and 1 or 2 close friends & some maybe some LSD/Magic Mushrooms and it would be a surreal experience.
I know what you mean man. I was walking in the woods one time near Banff (you know Banff I assume) and as I was walking I suddenly realized there was no reason a bear wouldn't be around lol. It's like I suddenly realized that bears live in the forest, and that I was IN the forest lol. It was crazy. So i just left lol.

It's interesting that you also had a bear dream before.
Yeah it was actually a few dreams for me. Scary both times the bear was attacking me and I was outsmarting it.
As for bear attacks, yeah man. I want to be able to go on off-road camping trips again but after that (stupid) camping trip me and my cousin took, I vowed I would never do that again unless I knew how to start a fire, survive in cold conditions (the weather turned bad despite therte being a good forecast), and can fight off a bear.
I looked into spears, knives, and guns that would be useful fighting against bears as soon as I got home because of it lol. I don't think I've ever felt so mortal in all my life.
