A debarked Chihuahua is the best alarm you can have against these predators.

And if you throw it, maybe the snack will slow them down.

Kidding aside, the mentioning of bears and tactical carts reminded me of a motivational speech I heard by an adventurer that have walked to both poles. He mentions that while preparing for the big trip, he wanted to make a shorter glacial trip as prepration. I dont remember the place he chose, I believe it was Svalbard or possibly Faroe Islands.

When he started out on this, he was more or less a city boy, with limited knowledge of wildlife and rugged terrain. (thus the reason for preparation trips) So when he stepped off the plane, he got a copy of the local paper, which mentions the attack of a polar bear on a local girl just a few days ago. Then when he is taking a walk from the hotel he's staying at, he sees a woman coming with a stroller, and when she gets closer he sees a AK47 mounted on top. :lol: He said the prospect of walking across the island alone and unarmed didn't seem as quite that good of an idea anymore. :)

Really? all this talk of bears, tactical wheelbarrows and debarked chihuahuas reminds me of a internet troll serving time in the Federal Pen.

Only 596 days until they turn him loose :(

I know, thus my previous reference to mounting a pair of silenced .223 on a wheelbarrow.
It wasn't until after I wrote it that I remembered the story of the "tactical baby stroller"...

We should start a pool. Awards to be given for correctly guessing the dates of: 1) his first post release re-appearance on internet gun boards, 2) first identification and banning, 3) first new arrest, 4) date of conviction on new charges.

Yeah, we should. I say three weeks to a month after release he will be settled enough to start in on it.
