44. Double Take

Dawn. Noises outside…Hear a tent rip. About to investigate. Someone starts screaming as I’m about to exit my tent. Grab my walking stick…get out to see a bear pulling a backpack out of a tent. Everyone is up now and getting outside. I yell “HEY!” as loud as I can. Bear looks at me, I start running at him. This next part is legendary.

Bear half stands up and kind of does a double take, then cowers into the bushes. From that point on, my friends called me “alpha bear.” These days it’s just bear.
