Walt Longmire Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 A few days ago 2 kayakers were mauled while sleeping in their tent on the shore of Skilak Lake on the Kenai Peninsula. They had to kayak for hours in the wee hours to get where they could find help. Both survived. Then yesterday at 1:30 am, a woman called her husband from a trail near Palmer to report that she was being charged by multiple bears and had discharged her pepper spray. No further contact from her since and search and rescue has not yet located her. Why a woman would be out hiking a remote trail alone at 1:30 am is baffling to me even though I know it's still kind of light out then at this time of year. Perhaps there is more to this story. We shall see. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampfox762 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I don't set foot outside the house for ANY reason, even to just pee the dog without a gun, and I'm in Florida!!! In Alaska it should be MANDATORY!!! And Yes, at LEAST a .500 Alaskan!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
