Holy f*ck. Note to self: No headphones and always carry bear mace on wilderness adventures 😳

I had my headphones in while walking today and noticed 3 people trying to get my attention, further up the trail. As I approached them and took my headphones out, they informed me that a bear had been trailing behind me for a while. WTF. I had no clue there was a bear behind me and I’m usually VERY observant of these things. Lesson learned! No headphones in the forest and always carry bear mace. 🐻

@SaltyVeruca bwahaha 🤣 One of my friends said the exact same thing. ☠️

@JanetZumba_FalPals I had zero clue it was even behind me. I honestly thought the people that told me about it were high, until someone else confirmed it.

@CanisPundit Lol, I feel safer around bears than I do men. 🐻 ❤️

@CinnamonGirlE @Valkyrie_D I’m feeling insulted; judged by the worst of my kind. A woman once told me “all men are dogs” to which I responded “yes, and I’m a good dog”. 😀

@CinnamonGirlE @Valkyrie_D now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to mow the lawn. You can teach a bear to dance, but good luck getting him to do yard work.

@CinnamonGirlE @Valkyrie_D when edging my lawn how long should I wait before giving it a happy ending? 😁

@CanisPundit @CinnamonGirlE @Valkyrie_D

Any woman who has raised boys to men would never say that. The partners of my sons have always told me they were the best guys they ever dated.

@CanisPundit yeah, there’s a few “good dogs”, but there’s also a lot of dogs that have eyes for every bitch. Then, there are the dogs that look all innocent until they snap and rip your face off. 🤣

@CinnamonGirlE

@Valkyrie_D I'd be adding "Casually strolls with actual bears" to my resume, but that's probably just me.

@Valkyrie_D Or a gun. Granted, I carry a handgun on walks in the woods and that ain't going to do shit to a bear outside of a headshot.

Glad the bear didn't decide to maul you.

@ProjectShadow I’m Canadian. Carrying a firearm in a public park is prohibited. 😩

@Valkyrie_D I like the bone conducting headphones. Can still hear that crunching noise moving up on you😬

@damselfly59 I never wear headphones in the park! I feel like such an idiot. 😩

@Valkyrie_D Holy hell that was a close call! Glad you're ok and that there were people there to warn you! 🐻

@Valkyrie_D

Wow that gives me the quivery shivers—thank goodness you’re OK!!

@Valkyrie_D - SO glad that you're
safe & sound, Val! Sincerely 😊

@Valkyrie_D @Studio_M_ Last week, a neighbor at the end of the street sent out an email about a large bear in her backyard. A couple of days later, a friend who lives half a mile away posted this (which was forwarded by a friend since I'm not on FB.)
