Lol--they're not that scary. The black bears are almost a nuisance and will high-tail it before messing with you. The grizzlies are scarier but as long as you keep yourself "bear aware" you'll be fine. They are definitely a sight to behold though, like a furry Volkswagen Beetle

I had an ex that went to Montana and encountered a bear, nothing bad happened but they didn't handle it properly because they like sprinted off or something. iirc you're not supposed to?

you're supposed to intimidate black bears with posture and sound, grizzlys are another matter

That's correct: you don't want to run away or climb trees because they're way faster/more agile than you.



Usually if you just speak to them in a low, calm voice and slowly back away nothing will happen. They will make sure you're not a threat and wander off; you just want to give them space and not turn your back on them. If they charge you can use your bear spray. Some people prefer firearms but in my opinion it's a lot harder to hit a charging bear with a bullet than it is a cloud of deterrent.



If they attack, it depends on the bear: black bears are smaller and you want to try to fight back because they'll usually retreat if you put up resistance. For grizzlies you want to lay down and play dead and cover your neck with your arms/hands. You will not win a fight against a grizzly; you just hope that they lose interest and leave you alone. Bears almost never attack to eat you, it's usually something else like surprising each other or, like Seven mentioned, getting too close to cubs.

Argh. I’m not liking this direction so far, had to put something actually creative on to cleanse my palette. I like the bit with Karin in it, possibly because it just breaks up the monotony of the Loic’s cleans (which I swear have never really bothered me before) 🤔

They are out of epochs, the only way forward are Futurama concept albums.

Aye, love the gentle way it evolves. "Unconformities" remains the easy favorite for me though.

yeah this is just more Phan II with more quiet moments in it. The heavy moments are of the same quality as Phan II pretty much, but they don't do anything to differentiate whatsoever, and I feel like much of the melodic choices are being recycled on and on throughout, basically every song sounds the same. The track with the feature is my main highlight, other than that this is kinda just a big ol' dud for me.

No way. Nothing comes close to Jurassic / Pleistocene on this. Shirley not.
