Re: The drinking less thread

I saw a video on YouTube, recently, that said that wolves trust human females but are fearful of human males.

Yeah, I'm doubtful.

I’ve read that you’re meant to stand your ground with wolves. Don’t turn and run, face them head on. As I say, I’m not keen to find out.

[Nightjar]

That's probably true.

True for dogs generally.

And, to a much lesser extent, big cats.

Not with bears though.

Especially Grizzlies.

I believe that the advice is to collapse to the floor, adopt a foetal position, cover your head/face/scalp at all costs and, once the initial assault has waned, just play dead until it thinks it's neutralised you and wanders off.

And hopefully isn't hungry.

Yes, I read that in an account of someone who was partly eaten by a bear. He played dead so it left the rest of him for later. Once it was out of sight he managed to get away, minus an arm.

I'm out of booze. :vwl:

Except for gin.

And a can of tonic.
