...and I just watched the Movie "Backcountry" last night!!

For those who haven't seen it - It's based on a true story about a young couple who get lost in the woods and stalked by a Bear.
It is........pretty nasty at some points and this story just brought it all back into startling clarity of focus.

Thanks Sol.    

Large Scotch before bed tonight methinks!!

I haven't seen 'Backcountry' but I've seen 'The Edge' with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. The bear in that movie is what nightmares are made of...


As for my story up there, it is based on a true story. My sister and I got scared in the middle of the night, exactly as it's told. Well, no, I didn't slap a flashlight out of her hand and asked her if she was f*****g crazy lol ...

But she did wake me up, in the middle of the night, hearing something out there. We heard branches break, we didn't hear a loud growl per se but we did hear low pitched growling sounds though, twice, the second one closer to us. We did hear whatever it was right outside our tent, we could hear it breathing, right next to us, at one point.

My sister was petrified. What I fabricated in that story up there is the campfire beer fest, that never happened, we were pretty much alone in that area. I did go and see in the morning to see if I could see broken branches and couldn't find anything significant. For all we know it could have been a small deer...

The black bear signs were true, we saw them all day while hiking. The stories I've told my sister (Paulides, ATS, alien abductions, etc) are all a fabrication.

Now I've just done what a politician will never, ever do. Tell what is true and what is not, from a story told.

Thanks for the kind responses : )
