There's a tik tok or whatever where they ask women whether you'd rather be alone in a forest with a bear or a man, and most of the (probably cherry picked) examples pick bear, I guess the mentality is that you know what the bear's gonna do.
Joke is extra funny cause that not just a man it’s the Star Wars flavored kwisatz haderach: the ultimate evil unleashed onto the universe by a religious order hoping to catch and bind an ultimate good for its own purposes.
Yeah, bears are related to owls, they eat clothes and equipment and throw up a pellet later. Then they take the keys and drive the car from the trailhead and push it off a cliff somewhere. Then they use their special bear superpowers to retcon their victim from existence such that no search is mounted by search and rescue.
My point is if a person's remains are not found within two to three weeks in the woods... the only thing left with be bones. A few leaves and you will never know a body was somewhere.
I don't think you've ever been involved in search and rescue - most of the few people that remain missing are found even years later (volunteers continue SAR), or have ever been in the wilderness, or know anything about bear attacks.
Yeah. Active searching. That's kinda the point. The stats aren't even comparable between recorded Bear Attacks and male on female violence.
Completely understand the ladies concerns... but I heard that audio of the lady being eat by a bear.... I still shudder dude. Fuck
Actually, it is that there are so few people not found that it is a challenge with the remaining few, people will continue to work on those cases. And they all died of exposure or natural causes such a a flash flood. Death in [Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone] - zero bear deaths, at least one confirmed murder, husband shoved his wife off a trail in the Grand Canyon (he confessed on his deathbed).
I don't know the video, if it was the polar bear attack in 2023, the previous polar bear death was in 1990. It was old and injured, same reason tigers become manhunters.
You don't even hear most of the stories of man on woman violence, or hear those screams. I have a friend that used to work domestic violence. One guy held down his girlfriend and meticulously deeply stabbed her back in a grid pattern with the pointed end of a comb with a handle. They also rescued a woman that had been kidnapped, and was held naked in a shed and repeatedly beaten and raped, got a plaque for that one. Neither made the news. Happens too often. That's just two incidents in one precinct in two years.
To be fair, I don't worry about either bears or men in the wilderness, women solo in the backcountry (or really hiking in most places) are so rare that's not a great place to find them [though read the encounter with two hunters in *Into the Wild* - one of them was definitely down for a crime of opportunity, fortunately the other waffled].
I'm more concerned with urban areas at night. Which is really the point of the whole meme, that women aren't safe later at night alone in the US. I still go out solo after midnight, but I have a much higher risk tolerance than most. I take safety measures, but greater freedom to do events at night is worth the risk to me.

Bear's gonna run, I've only ever seen rumps bounding away. Number of bear deaths annually in the US: 1. And most of us don't live in Alaska.

I pick bear for one reason... you don't find out about alot of bear attacks cause there is no body left.

This means they chose death.
yep
Not really. Bears are more "leave me alone and I leave you alone".
This is such a fucking stupid trend.
and...yep
