Only reason I use a tent is in summer for snakes, mosquitos and spiders. In winter and colder months I try just sleep under the stars.In saying that, we don’t have big animals here that will fuck your life up.Don’t actually know what I’d do if camping in the US. I’d be terrified of being taken by a fucking wild cat. That thought of that is just insane to me lol.
>>27285101. Be aware.2. Be armed.3. Be in comms.4. Don't give a fuck.
>>2728510I've camped, solo, several times in the same are I've caught mountain lions and black bears. I've never seen them while out there. Just tracks, scratch marks and trail cam video. I do carry bear spray and a 9mm handgun(ccw) But I don't think I'll ev er actually have to use them. Both mentioned animals generally go out of their way to avoid us. When there is an encounter, it's usually a surprise on both ends. Unless either is with a cub or feels cornered, they'll choose retreat. Even if there is a cub, they're more likely to grab it and run than to actually attack. That said, in areas where they are re-introducing wolves, I'd suggest only camping in numbers. Fucking retarded activists, they don't understand that the only reason we're no longer afraid of the "big bad wolf" is because we killed them all! It was only after this that outdoor recreation became possible for the average city dweller. They'll learn. Fucking pisses me off that we'll all suffer for it though. One of the OR packs has been seen in my CA county and one of the CO packs has been seen a couple counties to the south.
>>2728530^caught on trail cams... not traps. lost my train of thought.
>>2728510>Stay noided >carry a gun
>>2728533Do you set up a cam or two in the area when you're camping? I've been considering this, you could rig it to an app on your phone and have a little forewarning of the local fauna bumping around at night without leaving your tent. I know next to nothing of trailcams though, so it's a learning curve for me.
>>2728541>nb4 stop talking about gear and go outside. No, I am prepared to do my patriotic duty and consume in this case.
>>2728541I have several trail cameras around the area, along popular animal travel routs. I do have another camera that I set up to see if anything passes through my camp, either when I'm not there or sleeping. I seldom see anything. Saw a house cat once...all the way out here! Saw a ringtail once, some squirrels, birds, but nothing big. On the long term cameras I've seen bears, mountain lions, bobcats, deer, turkey, quail, ringtails, foxes, skunks, raccoons, many smaller flying birds, squirrels(ground and tree), coyotes, cows(AG land a couple miles away) and a fisher. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Lots of wildlife out there.
>>2728548Watching your own camp is smart. how much does a good trail cam cost? I think I'll get a cheap one and mess around with it next time I'm out.
>>2728530It’s been 30 years since they put wolves back in Yellowstone. There hasn’t been a single dangerous encounter despite millions of people in the back country. Same with the boundary waters in Minnesota. Thousands of wolves, zero deaths.
>>2728561That have been reported.... https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/exploration-survival/leave-no-trace/
>>2728561https://trailandsummit.com/which-national-park-has-the-most-disappearances/As mentioned above, current statistics hold that there are only 29 open cold cases relating to missing people in state parks. Independent researchers estimate this number is about 1100-1600. Given that over 600,000 people go missing each year in the United States, this is still a relatively low number – but significantly higher than the official statistics show.Reporting dangerous animal attacks tends to discourage tourism. Wolves have been one of the primary predators of man, until their numbers were greatly curtailed. It only follows that re-introducing them will lead to the same outcome.
Ticks and skeeters are the only thing to worry about. Maybe you don’t have diabetes as bad as us being euro but I can’t even feel when I’m skeeter bit or got ticks latch unless I happen to see it. I’ll have dozens on my legs when I take a look.
>>2728530They should introduce siberian tigers in the north, african lions and cheetahs in the plains, restore grizzlies to their former range and clone and release smilodon, cave bears and mammoths.Stay in the city, if you can't handle being around a couple big animals.
>>2728593Sounds like your typical Collage Urban Liberal Type response...
>>2728568>in places where there are no wolves>derp>>2728572None of those places have wolves so…> Reporting dangerous animal attacks tends to discourage tourismThis is just exceptionally retarded cope. People who get killed by wild animals don’t get swept under the rug you stupid Cunt. You hear about every dangerous grizzly encounter that happens it’s newsworthy. Any mountain lion attack gets reported the same would be true with wolves. It just doesn’t happen.
>>2728510>I’d be terrified of being taken by a fucking wild cat.That doesn't happen.
>>2728595First story in DenverSecond covers all 50 states and specifically mentions Yellowstonegood job proving you're a headline reading ignorant faggot
>>2728598denver...colorado...whatever
>>2728510Niggers kill 147 times more people per year than grizzlies, black bears, cougars, and wolves combined throughout the last 100 years...But it is good to keep people afraid so citidiots dont shit up my outdoors
>>2728595wolves are their pet project, they could be held liable if the reintroduced wolves attacked or killed anyone. Of course they have clear motivation to cover it up. Who's coping now?
>>2728510Real practical question, what do you do if you see a cougar and its not immediately backing off? I think I wouldn't hesitate to shoot at it, but I figure there would be dumb consequences
>>2728602> Who's coping now?You are. There hasn’t been a fatal wolf attack in the lower 48 in 150 years. Wolves have been in one of the most heavily visited national parks in the country for 30 years there hasn’t been a single aggressive wolf encounter
>>2728510Research cameras in the Whetstone Mountains in AZ recorded a jaguar around the same time I went solo camping 5 miles in. A fucking jaguar. Just chilling out there with me. I wish I could see one.The Pinaleno Mountains supposedly have the highest concentration of black bears in the US. I've tent camped there many times (not solo though) and never seen a bear there.My wife and I were several miles into the Rincons, close to the backpack-only campsite where we were headed, and found fresh bear shit on the trail. We were the only people in the campsite that night, probably the only people for several miles around. Didn't see any bears, nothing went bump in the night. Sad.
>>2728530A pack of coyotes could also punch my ticket. Seen them take down 600lb elk. But I don’t scurry away with my tail between my legs when they start yapping on that cold night.
>>2728530Wolves are fucking cool. If you can't handle being harassed by a pack of wolves all night you're pussy who shouldn't go /out/. Stop fucking complaining that you get to experience such a cool.animal that has such an important history with mankind.
>>2728572Based Wolves.
>>2728602Wolves are also your pet hate, word gets around in small rural towns where locals all hate wolves and like fuck they'd keep that quiet. It'd be all over every hunting media, you'd be telling us all about it right now. But instead you're telling us some /x/ level conspiracy about how they're hiding wolf deaths.
>>2728572>600,000 people go missing each yearMost are found within a few days. Mostly runaways or non-custodial parents taking the kid."Luckily, the vast majority of missing persons cases are quickly resolved. For example, in 2021, 521,705 missing person cases were reported, more than 485,000 of which were resolved within the year."https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/missing-persons-by-state
>>2728510One time, I was driving to the airport from a week backpacking Glacier NP. I noticed movement near the small animal pen on a Blackfoot indian reservation. I stopped because it was a mountain lion, an absolutely gorgeous cat, and he was sniffing the pen with no aggression on display. He marked a fence post with rubbing and spray and then glanced at my truck nonchalantly and slowly walked across my path into a small patch of corn stalks. This cat seemed about nine feet Iong from stem to stern. It was probably used to hunting jackrabbits and hares and it almost certainly would have kept away from a person innawoods. While they do attack people, it's extremely rare because N. American cats don't want to risk injury or death when smaller game is so plentiful.Now coastal brown bears and grizzlies are scarey. When I venture near them, I always carry 44 or larger hand cannons loaded with appropriate bear medicine.Oh yeah, I aktually go /out / instead of pretending.
>>2728510the really fucked up part is how far their territory has spread and how hard forestry and government try to cover it up. I grew up in middle TN where there are "no big cats definitively!" about 15 years ago someone hit a fucking black panther on the fucking highway. now ok, I guess this could have been one of those pet big cats that got loose and no one claimed it because legal reasons, but there are countless trail cam vids of mountain lions all over the east coast, but they will deny it because muh tourism. so the best thing you can do if you encounter a fucking mountain lion around your property is kill it, bury it as deep as possible, and never speak a word of it. shits. fucked.
>>2728561lol you think the fucking national parks would tell ANYONE that someone was attacked/killed by a wolf? just another missing 411 case nothing to see here, ignore the shovel covered in blood an dirt in the back of my truck good sir! I'm a forrest ranger!
>>2728575do you not have hair on your legs? that's how I always feel ticks is them crawling through my body hair looking for a warm place to latch.
I would like to thank all the pussies who are afraid to play innawoods. Hopefully, you will inspire others like your fellow defectives to remain at home and stay outta my beautiful /out/. Also, we're full here.
>>2728610you better have a big enough gun and not miss
>>2728572>>2728602>>2728760>>2728761I'm gonna need some substanitative proof that big ecology and big tourism is covering up wolf and cougar attacks but not bear attacks.
>>2728510I wanna eat him
>>2728810I don't have proof they are covering up attacks, but I have first hand experience with cougar denial in Appalachia. they refuse to acknowledge their existence because it will effect tourism.
>>2728822There aren't supposed to be cougars in central Texas either. But I saw a roadkill cougar heading from Ft. Worth down to Lockhart. Pretty substantive evidence there's at least one.
the only thing to really worry about is brown bears. all the other shit usually stays away from you. cats are naturally skittish and avoid detection in most cases. more people are attacked by moose than wolves, cats, hyenas, sharks, and bears combined. stay the fuck out of the way of the moose. kek
>>2728761There’s only been one missing person case in Yellowstone in the last 50 years and that’s from before they even put wolves back. When people get attacked by dangerous animals it’s not something they can hide. Somebody gets as much as a scratch from a grizzly bear. It’s front page news. Never mind that there are plenty of wolves outside of the park in the surrounding national forest with lots of people hunting and trapping wolves, and yet still no reports of a single dangerous encounter. Your cope is so retarded. What the fuck is your problem?https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1563/cold-cases.htm
>>2728856I don't believe (((statistics))) from the same people who lie about literally everything else, I guess that's my problem.
>>2728530It takes months and over a thousand shekels for me to get a ccw where I'm at. How fugged would it be bringing my water gun out crossing several state lines?
>>2728864You have to understand the dynamics surrounding wolves. The NPS and surrounding towns love them because of the tourist money. A lot of the other locals hate them, and would be sure to capitalize on any dangerous wolf encounter. Hundreds are hunted and trapped every year. Wolves around here pretty much avoid humans at all cost- how that dude hit one with a snowmobile I have no idea. Grizzly bears are far more dangerous to humans than wolves.
>>2728878that makes logical sense, and I've never really thought wolves were a problem for humans unless you're in a no guns state, but for livestock it won't be good if they are allowed to spread. also, if they avoid humans at all costs, why would they being in more tourist money? genuine question.
>>2728885>genuine questionPart of it is the way Yellowstone is. Most of the wolf sightings take place in the Lamar Valley, which is a wide expansive, mostly treeless valley with a few rivers running through it. People set up spotting scopes, and can watch packs from a mile or two away. It’s not like coming across the grizzly bear grazing through a field next to the road oblivious to the tourons. Occasionally you might see a wolf cross the road but packs are never hanging out anywhere close to humans. I go to Yellowstone frequently several times a year. I’ve never seen a wolf closer than a mile away.
>>2728822Again, need something concrete instead of a claim. Like a link to a press release by the tourism industry that denies a population of cougars>>2728837Similarly, did they claim zero cougars recently or are you basing it off of something you read a while ago?https://youtu.be/zZsdkYrsg3I?si=zjOHwwb3OWh78Jw3https://tpwmagazine.com/archive/2018/mar/scout5_wildthing_mountainlion/

>>2728561>There hasn’t been a single dangerous encounter despite millions of people in the back country.Because the wolf population is still nothing like it was 100 years ago.>>2728596>That doesn't happen.Only because people have guns.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jxCyQStwLUE
>cougar denial
>>2728977Meanwhile in Russia:>In the winter of 2010-11, a "super pack" of wolves numbering up to 400 reportedly terrorized the Russian town of Verkhoyansk (population 1,300) in northern region of Yakutia, one of the remotest inhabited areas in the northern hemisphere. More than 30 horses were killed in just four days, according to local officials, and teams of hunters were established to patrol neighborhoods and shoot the wolves on sight. Animal experts suspicious of the claims say that wolves usually form packs of no more than 10 to 15 animals, although the particularly harsh winter may have killed off the wolves' usual prey, forcing them to attack larger animals.https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-wolf-pack
>>2728510its just a kitty cat anon give him a pet
>>2728510I've been hunted by several cougars in my younger days, but in my mid 30s they seem to leave me alone now.
>>2728530canada here. I've camped a lot in remote parts of the rockies and in ontario. Wolves are a least concern. I have only seen one once in my life and once had them howling all night 50 m from where i was camped (totally alone) and also they are prevalent where i own some land in ontario and I never ever have problems. Your chance of being attacked by a bear is far, far, greater. That being said, like you said most animals try to avoid people. But I'd be more careful in spring and fall especially. Cougars scare the ever loving shit out of me and I've had a large adult grizzly sauntering my way within 50m and just calmly walked away without much concern. Anyway, any animal can be dangerous given the right conditions.
>>2728856He was rejected by a female wolf and now hates all of them
>>2728510yea over here bears and cougar's are as numerous as rabbits. its crazy. one out of every two camping trips i get chased by something. whatever.

If you’re having a dangerous encounter, just use your gun and bear spray.>>2728837> There aren't supposed to be cougars in central TexasBullshit they’re all over the continental US. Out West they’re common but in the central and eastern USA, their numbers are far less due to habitat loss and hunting. We even have a few mountain lions here in southern ohio that cross over the river from Kentucky.Knowing Texas with its massive ranches, the state and the industries that control it lupe probably prefer the extinction of these big cats for the sake of their cows.

>>2730091I can't wait for the "muh ebil pibble" phase to be over. Used to be dobermans, then it was rottweilers, next it should be something like yorkies
>>2730176dobermans and rottweilers have never attacked or killed as many people. in fact, probably all doberman and rottweiler attacks combined throughout the entire history don't even equal pitbull attacks in a single year, lmao. if you agree that certain breeds like terriers are more neurotoc because they were bred for different things, why do you deny that shitbulls are just backyard bred hyper agressive breeds too? the mental gymnastics of a pitbull owner kek.
>>2730176> "muh ebil pibble" phase to be overfucking municipalities are revoking their anti-shitbull laws to appease the godless baby killers and race mixers that own them. Any sort of “phase” is the wave of regret of not exterminating those dogs in their pounds or keeping these laws.
>>2730177I never said anything about breeds being neurotic, nor do I own a dog. It's just boring to see a bunch of shut-ins repeatedly posting murder fantasies like they wouldn't immediately get ventilated if they killed someone's dog. It'd be funny to see posts like "don't let your teacup shi tzu off leash around me, everyone knows they're cold-blooded killing machines"

>>2728977>Because the wolf population is still nothing like it was 100 years ago.in the 3000 square miles of Yellowstone, its likely that the wolf population is quite similar to thatof pre-white man- in this specific area- as the wolf packs and population have stabilized and pretty much reached capacity for the park. ...and yet, there have been milions of more people in the area over the last 30yrs than there ever have been before so theres that
>>2730225Good rifle, a bit heavy though(for a scout rifle). I haul it around when hunting, but I wouldn't want to hail it everywhere all the time while /out/ With scope and 10 rounds in the mag it's less than 10 lbs, so not really heavy either. But it's not nothing. I carry bear spray and a 9mm. Don't plan or expect to ever have to use either, just a case of I'd rather have and not need than need and not have. I'd feel really silly if I were attacked by a wild animal and I didn't have them on me, knowing I had them and could have. The 9mm is in a CCW holster and I'm used to wearing it all day anyway. The bear spray is a tad bit more cumbersome, it's not small enough to easily fit in your pocket. But not so large that you can't find a spot for it.
>>2730357Why put a scope on it if you are worry about weight. with 10 round and no scope you are talking less 9 pounds.
>>2730725I'm not concerned with it while I'm hunting, I said it's not that heavy. I just wouldn't want to have to haul it around every time I went out. It's cumbersome. It has nothing to do with the scope. I was just giving an estimate of total weight that I carry it around with, when I do, during hunting trips. A one pound difference is nothing and wouldn't change anything. I just don't see any reason to take it everywhere when I have lighter, easier to carry alternatives for a near zero chance encounter. As for heavy for a scout rifle, that's a category standard I didn't set. Just saying it doesn't meet the official Jeff Cooper standard.
>>2728510I carry a bag of catnip and an Egyptian Rasheed. The cat must choose, peace or death.

Only have cougars and black bear to worry about on my usual spot. Cougars might get nosey and sneak up on you at night but won't attack you. Don't be a retard and eat anywhere close to where you sleep and either hang your food or have a bear canister a good ditance from where you sleep. Also sleep with a flashlight/headlamp and pistol within reach.
>>2730735You are probably right, the Rossi R92 Triple Black, Wood, Black Cerakote, .44 Mag, 16 in would be liter.
>>2731013I love my Rossi, but I'd prefer my shockwave over it.>Lite.>Can blast all shorts of shit.
>>2731013Not sure if you're trolling or just not getting it. It still has little to do with the weight, it's about carrying a long gun, any long gun. They're just not convenient to carry around. Especially for an encounter you have a near zero percent chance of being in.
>>2728510Solo camped a few times. The big thing is bring a gun. There are both two and four legged threats, that you probably won't have to deal with. That said, they exist, and so does the solution. I prefer to camp during winter. I'm down south, so it's get muggy without usually freezing. If I can get a fire going, and if I have enough water, I'm just fine. Bugs won't bug you during the winter. It's a nice way to get out, smoke a cigar or two, maybe drink some whiskey, and read a book. Summer camping kind of sucks, because you need to keep spraying everything with DEET and that's kind of lame.
>>2728677what an interesting way to say 40k people go missing with no answers after 12 months

>>2731073Pistols are just so limit. You are talking 10 or maybe 30 yards.
>>2730742A fellow Rasheed owner?On /out/ of all places?Nice.
>>2728602So there's not going to be even a single case where someone (or even a group) was attacked by wolves but survived to tell about it, as there are with every other large predator?
>>2728760Why would I kill it?
>>2728864I dont believe stats either, but common sense says that if wolves are actively killing people youd also have people who remain ALIVE that would report aggressive but ultimately non fatal encounters, or even an encounter where there was an attack but the person succesfully fended them off. Wolves go for the kill and are then thwarted regularly when hunting any other animal, why would it be the case that when they hunt humans they only do so with a 100% success rate?
>>2728977First story sounds like a murder cover up.Second story they found remains, but I dont see any reason to think it had to be wolves, couldn't it have been the robbers?Third and fourth seem possibly legit.

>>2728895their silence is deafening
>>2728510as someone once said before me>ignore the problem>it goes away
Not so long ago there was a mountain lion that lived in Beverley Hills/Hollywood Hills and ig never attacked any humans, so if they can live there you're basically always in range of some dangerous animal. Just learn their behaviors and know how to protect yourself. Unless you get something coming out of hibernation or with offspring they'll choose easier food than you.
>>2728510unless you're sleeping by a cave wildcats are rare as fuck
>>2728530A lot of the time they're gonna be nocturnal and stay out of the way of people.No real reason to go after you unless it's a juvenile or you're encroaching on it's territory. Animals are smarter than we give them credit for.they know what humans are capable of even if they go their whole lives not encountering one. Go point at gun at an animal, it's gonna get scared shitless or riled upit knows what it is.You got mountain lions in the hill country regions of texasyou dont hear about them often because they usually dont come out during the day. Shit the trail cam photo we have is from the 90s. Either way recent or not the photo of it was taken at night
>>2728510Not fucked if you got a gun. Those kitties, they will fuck you up and not care one bit about your attempts to walk away. You won't even know they are there unless they want you to know.
>>2728874There are no laws against crossing state lines with a long gun, the only laws that matter are the specific regulations on where you end up when asked about it, and that is easy to research.The biggest worry is states with super tight gun regulations right next to states with little-to-none. I grew up in New Hampshire which is probably the most lax gun law state in the union (or at least it did) while Connecticut is a two hour drive away and has the tightest gun laws, to the point you would have to be retarded and/or actively trying to create a big legal issue if you brought something from NH into CT for a weekend trip.
>>2731099NTA, if you're having to use your gun in self defense of an animal, it'd going to be within 30 yards.
>>2732189But what if you have to use it in self defense from people? Never bring s pistol to a rifle fight.
>>2732213rumors of rednecks who shoot 22's over the campsites of faggots from the city are highly overstated
>>2732305If you say so, but here in Oregon a lot of people go missing every year. I am think it might be people
>>2728510Been watching a lot of car camping videos. Been wanting to go car camping. But then all I'm gonna do is sit around and make food a couple times.I can fish but I don't want to keep them. I don't have a dog.
>>2728528FPBPPay attention and carry a firearm. don't slather yourself in meat juices helps too. in well over 1000 outings i've run into a handful of bears and only ever seen a big cat twice. bears that snoop around camps either get relocated or killed pretty quick.
>>2728572>>2728677600k "go missing" and 99.9% of them either turn up quickly or end up being oh little johnny was in the closet the whole time.>>2728761suicides, serial killers and people who want to drop off the grid all happen at about 1000x the frequency to joe the mountain ranger found remains and didn't tell anyone. real life isn't a TV drama.
>>2732448foid shit
>>2732454>600k "go missing" and 99.9% of them either turn up quickly or end up being oh little johnny was in the closet the whole time.majority end up being found. I remember do some wilderness survival training/EPREP merit badge for scouting and the guy speaking for the class was a S&R dude. States the majority of his calls are teengagers running away from home into the woods or mental cases on the lamb. Thanks to technology such as GPS, cell phones, and aerial surveillance the amount of people that end up missing has dramatically reduced over the years.Also a number of people who end up going missing in parks are sometimes suicide cases where the missing guy doesn’t want to be found and to enjoy his final moments in the bliss of nature before hanging or shooting himself.
>>2728510If you live in Europe you most likely have wild boars who are more dangerous than bears and lions, because while they will try to avoid fires and sounds, boars will actively try to fuck your shit up because they meet lots of humans
>>2728575I think I got bad blood or something because mosquitoes don't bite me and ticks don't even dare climbing on me, even when I go into tick territory and my friends get at leasta a couple on their legs. My grandfather was also like this, mosquitoes would sit on his arm and fly away a second later without even trying to bite.
>>2728530wonder how often the Big Bad Wolf was your neighbour who strangled you and then dumped your body in the woods, so wolves would get blamed after they ate it.
>>2728510Bears will generally leave you alone and mountain lions aren't a problem in most states.
>>2728530idk I think its cool to have wolves in the ecosystem again the way god intended. All things considered, wolves are supposed to be frightened of humans and will be ultimately inconsequential to most. Stay strapped, clap back if they start getting too bold
