No flairs near bears

Well, this is not really too serious of a point, but I don't think I would be too keen about carrying a Flair in grizzly or polar bear country. Here let me stick this into my chicken and get meat juice all over it then strap it to my side! That would be fun! Not to mention I would want a more woods based tool set in somewhere where this could be a problem. Oh well, just a funny little point I was thinking of don't know if it has been talked about before on here.

Belly dog pockets unfamiliar rain tacos inside out elevation dirt radio.

I can put random words together too!

Whoops that got a little messed up, I will revise it...
...The fork tool on it would result in the multitool smelling like food. As it would probably be in a sheath on your side this might make me feel insecure

You ever camp or hike in bear country? First rule: never ever leave food scraps or dirty dishes in camp. And if its a major concern most popular camp grounds will have a cashe where you can secure your food (trees wrapped in steel that you can hoist your food to.) Typically bears will leave you alone unless they are really hungry.

Good point about food odors.

I venture quite regularly into grizzly and black bear country, and the least of my considerations is which knife is most appropriate in a confrontation with a bear. It's irrelevant, because if all you have is a knife, you've already lost. A good margin of safety can be achieved using bear spray, bear bangers, and creating enough noise to alert them of your presence, or better yet, a firearm of sufficient caliber.

Guys, I think he was trying to post this in response to some other thread, but accidentally hit the 'Post New Thread' button instead.

i wondered, by the title of this tread, if it was more hate for Mr Grylls ! i'm pleased it wasn't but i'm now more confused

had to read it several times and now my brain hurts

And here I thought it was going to be about Bear Grylls, too.

I'm sorry. I don't know why, but I found this whole thread very amusing. Particularly baja820's "Belly dog pockets unfamiliar rain tacos inside out elevation dirt radio. I can put random words together too!"

You ever camp or hike in bear country? First rule: never ever leave food scraps or dirty dishes in camp.

Second rule: bring a buddy who can't run as fast as you.

Nhoj does have a point. If you use a MT for food prep, it will be difficult to clean out all the food juices from the joints and inside of the tool, without giving it a good soaking.
In bear country i guess that can be a problem? But I guess it would also be difficult to remove all food scent from yourself after eating the food?
Any bear experts here that knows if this is a problem?

I guess you could roll Bear Grylls in rotten meat and fish guts and send him running in the oposite direction of your camp, to lure all bears away. That would make a pretty good TV show. "Bear VS bears, the ultimate challenge!"

Bear vs. Bears would be the ultimate comedy!

Bears are quite smart smellers. I think they know the difference between a peanut butter jar, and peanut butter breath. One is a little easier to get than the other.
