[pct-l] This Is One BIG BEAR !!!!!!

[Reinhold Metzger]

That's right Switchback, that is why I wear full body armor and a steel
helmet when I hike the Sierra......they can chew on me all day long and
won't get through the armor.
You know, maybe we should sell or rent full body armor at the kickoff.
With those kind off bears and Saber Tooth mountain lions stalking hikers on
the PCT full body armor will sell like hot cakes.....like Ground Pounder

I have seen lots of bears at least that big (14 feet tall) on the PCT.  They
are giant mutants from eating hiker food and hikers.  Have you ever wondered
why only 15% of thru hikers make it NoBo to Canada?  It's not snow melt,
swollen streams, injuries, dehydration, hiker blues, and family emergencies.
Those things are all rumors like the Burmunda Triangle.  The real truth is
that they get eaten by giant bears and mutant Saber Tooth mountain lions.
The government does not want this to get out and start a panic.  I have
never had a problem, since Trail Pirates are too tough and not good eating.

Thank you for your attention, Switchback
