I always thought Tasmania is similar to Vancouver Island in many ways but the main difference is that Tasmania is like 10 hours ferry and Vancouver Island is 1.5 hours directly from Vancouver itself

I spawned into a very small ultra conservative racist village in Alberta and managed to move out this way. I am grateful to say the least.

Have you ever been to Tasmania? It is a dream destination for me. Show me ya map of tassy

Yeah I understand this concept but it comes down to the simple fact that you have a substantially better chance making out alive being with a man rather than a bear.

Would you rather in trapped in a room with a random man or a random bear?

You and I both know that men are statistically less dangerous than bears so if you answer bear to this question it is just misandry.

Edit: and I don’t care about how I come across because all that matters here is facts.

And if you are suicidal that’s another thing I guess. Sometimes I wish a bear would eat me. Lol.

The vast majority of men are not bad. Your single bear encounter was probably in yosemite or something where a bear is a tourist attraction and is used to people.

So your stance is that you would rather be eaten alive than raped?

Wow you encountered one bear. How many men did you cross paths with just yesterday? Were they interested in you?

As someone who spends nearly every weekend in the backcountry of vancouver island, most bears aren’t going to mess with you. But I’ve also been charged by a bear before like 10 years ago and I still sometimes have nightmares about it. When they are having a hard time finding easy food you bet they will spend the energy to eat you.

Every single person I’ve ever come across outdoors has been good. I mean someone stole booze from my cooler while I was asleep one time. But that’s the worst that’s ever happened. But I guess I am a man so I can fight back.

It’s really just a rage bait question because it lacks any detail. I think it would be a better question to ask would you rather be in an empty room with a random bear or with a random man.

Like, are we talking about solo hiking and encountering people on the trail? People you find in the woods are chill. Or are we talking about a random man from anywhere in the world spawning in?

It just pisses me off actually because it changed the way I act around solo lady hikers because now I just think I’m viewed as some creep. I don’t small talk anymore I just say hi and make it clear I don’t want to associate. My last solo trip to a remote beach had another solo lady camping there and I kept wondering if she was scared I was there even though I was like 200m down the beach. In the past I might have went to the bear food cache when she did and just say hello, ask if they forgot any gear they might need to borrow, etc etc, maybe make a new friend. Ask if they saw any bears on the way down, you know, lol.

Almost every woman I personally know who answered this question said they would rather come across a bear and that really sucks.

Dude in my city every PAL course is booked out until october. I hate to say this but might need to obtain a firearm illegally. All I have is a .22 from my dad and that’s not gonna work.

Likewise, always been anti firearm, but it’s not about firearms anymore.

Anyone who says bear literally doesn’t know what a bear is and lives in some concrete jungle

A common thing I’ve heard is “well the worst thing a bear can do is kill me”. Are we actually this stupid? Do these people actually believe what they say or is it just shock value?

A question that put further division between men and women. I fuckin hated reading these debates

Me too and I’m ready if it comes to this

Yeah it’ll be worse for Canadians because being one myself I’ll actually die on this hill. I want no part of your garbage country full of garbage people

That’s really weird, I was just looking this up and looking at it myself

Interestingly they haven’t logged the alaska panhandle and I bet that’s the first to go. Best trees in the entire world

Didn’t the US vote for this?

Yeah but sucks in that they don’t want to give twitter guy money

Starlink is the only way my parents can access the internet which really sucks.

Where is that? Eggs $6 minimum in Victoria

I’m not religious?

I also don’t even consume porn because I’m not some loser degen

Your comment is so aggressive, go fuck yourself

Except those jobs don’t ruin your dignity and reputation etc
