I have a crippling fear of dogs. The idea that I walk alone in the forest or somewhere in the countryside paralyzes me when I get to think about the idea that there >might< be a stray or even a domesticated dog running free that wants to bite me to death. Yes I know I'm a pussy but it's a part of a childhood trauma where a dog severely bit me. The older I get, the more frustrating it gets. It literally makes all of my outdoor plans impossible. I'm desperate to have a nice, relaxing walk in the forest, but I avoid it with the feeling of paranoia about how many dogs there are inside ready to fucking maul me. Any ideas how to cope with aggressive stray dogs? Bear spray? Knife? Tear gas? How to survive an attack?
Valid fear. I walk 20+ miles per day, just this week I've been charged by 4 large dogs without leashes. Carry a good knife. Fuck all of these goddamned retards that get 80lb dogs and then teach them bad shit and try to take them to parks.
You said it: Bear spray and knife. Shitbulls are not to be trifled with. They're more of a threat than black bears unless you're doing something stupid around black bears.
>>2793462.38 snub with 125gr JHPs.
>>2793462There is literally a thread top of the board right now with an anon and his huge folding knife.
Men that hate dogs are weak and of no value to humanity
>>2793462Graded exposure therapy or systematic desensitization.You say you're aware that this is pussy behaviour and that it's increasingly impacting your life as you get older - well, the solution isn't to give up and accept being a pussy, it's to fix your issues.
You crack a dog with a stick, and I mean hard. Not an, oh Sparky, I don't really wan to hurt you crack. I'm talking an I want to split your fucking head open crack. Anything less than a pit bull is going to fuck right off and leave you alone..
>>2793462what are you, some kind of chud? dont you know that my princess only tears bad people? even the mailman deserved it
>>2793525Let's be real though. We're almost exclusively talking about shitbulls in this thread. Bear spray and knife. Ideally, a gun, but if you're on a long-distance hike, a gun is just untenable mostly.
>>2793522You can't be desensitized against the unrelenting grip of a shitbull. Stop gaslighting him. He has a rational fear of demon dogs.
>>2793547You are a weak man
dogs don't attack me. that's all i have to say. not even shitbulls
>>2793462Bear spray should definitely work. even for the most aggressive of dogs it will hurt them bad enough were they want to get away. If your in an area where people graze sheep you might run into livestock guardian dogs, you probably shouldn't mace them cause they got a job to do. If they think you are gonna hurt their sheep they might get aggressive but they really don't what to hurt you. if they start barking just back away from them and their sheep. I wouldn't be to worried about them though most of them a pretty used to hikers. I've gotten pretty close to them and their sheep (like 10 feet) with no issue. you have to be pretty obviously a threat.
>>2793609I know bear spray works but I just want it to be known that my german shepherd has eaten ghost pepper chicken wings and was completely unphased by itA gun can be too dangerous in close quarters Jam a fixed blade knife into that cocksuckers neck.
>>2793462Bear spray and knife only makes sense if you’re either underage or not American. Get a gun and learn how to shoot. Pic related
>>2793630Plenty of mutt states that don't have CC laws so your post only makes sense if you're underage. Plus a knife has plenty of other uses than just eviscerating vicious landsharks.
>>2793642Your map just shows states that don’t require a permit to carry. Almost all of the others still have concealed carry laws, but just require a license
>>2793643Oh noes, a LOICENCE? How cucked's that? Imagine having to jump through firey hoops despite gun ownership being an "amenity rite" in your "constipation".
Is this board mainly hispanic now? I have never known white men to be afraid of dogs
>>2793652Definitely shitskins of some kind.
>>2793652>>2793670It's pretty obvious people are talking about dungskin breeds like shitbulls, otherwise known as landsharks or pitniggers. No one is afraid of some labrador or border collie, Tyrawn.
>>2793671I am not afraid of any dogAre there dangerous dogs in bad neighborhoods? How the fuck would I know? I will never be in a place like that
>>2793462I carry a Mora-knife and a jet flame torch lighter with me for this exact scenario. I haven't needed them yet, and I hope to God i never will, but... IF one of those furry niggers ever bites into my flesh, I'll make sure it leaves the fight with dozens of holes in its neck and pelt and, at the very minimum, is going to need veterinary intervention just to walk again. They don't have human rights, and I have no obligation to be a chew toy for a deranged animal, so no mercy.As for the gear... the Mora. Cheap, sharp, good steel for the purpose, ubiquitous where I live, has multiple purposes. If the cops find it and confiscate it, 5 bucks buys me a new one. Perfection.The torch lighter... If it comes to where the mutt has its jaws locked into me, and I lose the knife somehow, I'll deploy the lighter as a last line of defense with the plan to blast the fucker's eyeball with the jet flame. I have the flame on mine tuned to be about 2 inches long, and it's about 2300F degrees hot, so good luck seeing anything with that eyeball afterwards, mutt. The lighter is also not considered a weapon, so unlikely to be taken from me even if it's found.But like I said, I hope I don't ever have to test this in real world conditions.
Which arm do you guys plan to sacrifice so that it cant bite anything else while you get rid of that little demon bastard?
>>2793462Dude.... Don't fall for the muh "bear spray and knife meme". Literally just have a decently sized stone in your pocket and throw it at the approaching dog. Other than that use your walking stick to keep distance if the furry niggers circle you. Swing that fucking stick and yell. Dogs are cowards and honestly pretty stupid. 50% of the time you can literally mimic throwing an object at a dog and he'll run away. You don't really need to hit them with stones, just throw said pocket stone near the dog so that he heard and feels the impact. Those cowardly pooches will see that you are not to be messed with.I can handle dogs on foot, but these furry nigs are so fucking shitty to deal with when you cycle. Especially shepherd dogs, those fuckers will run at 20 km/h easily and they know to go for the legs. Honestly the only thing you can do is cycle faster than the dog can run but the terrain isn't always benefic.I live in Romania so your fears are really not grounded in reality, if you do not live in some sort of shithole Balkan country then just grow a pair.
>>2793760How many roving packs of stray pitbulls does romania haveIn USA we have a lot
>>2793764You must live in a shithole. I have never once seen anything like this in a US city
yay the dog autist is back! i missed his shit thread and retarded opinions! more of this please!
>>2793764We do not have pitbulls but we have shepherd dogs that are literally bread to fight wolves and bears. And yes if you are going to do any hiking in the Carpathians you'll meet those fuzzy wiggers that will charge you as soon as they can discern your figure.May I remind you that this is the /out/ board and while uberex is technically out, there are no roaming packs of pitbulls even in the most niggerfied ghettos of Chicago. While shitbulls are obviously aggressive they are still relatively small, these shepherd dogs can tip over a manlet or a woman easily.
>>2793766PUT EM ON CLUTCH
>>2793766its basically one guy single handedly ruining this board
>>2793765USA is a very big place and the majority of it is a shithole, consider yourself a coddled baby
>>2793768Nah those dogs are chillYou have no fucking clue what pitbull behavior is I literally got chased by a shitbull on my bike THIS MORNING.
>>2793883You are clearly from one part of a bad city and have never traveled Many such cases
>>2793889Nah i am in the middle of nowhere in a wealthy stateI have lived in 8 states and traveled almost all of the U.S. extensively If you cant find packs of stray dogs you dont actually go anywhere Stay on the trail, pussy
>>2793893>>2793889By the way it is a nice town this is indeed out of the ordinary I'll give you that, a very nice town but literally nobody in the city has trained their dogs. It's bizarre as fuck. Now other parts of America, Arizona and West Virginia for example I have run into multiple packs of aggressive stray dogs that thought they ran shitAnd of course many many many solo aggressive large strays Ive never killed a dog, but I am very lucky to be able to say that because I literally get tested often
>>2793894>>2793893You live in a nice town with roving packs of pit bulls?You are never going to sell this lie here. You are a bad person and you are ruining this board with your mental illness
Having a tough and/or large dog, and being a man you pretty quickly learn you can fuck up a dog. My Bull Terrier here is a friendly goofball but when we play she is a little ball of damage. That said, in a real 100% fight she would maybe get one bite before death. And thats to a leg or arm. Bull Terriers are cousin to the shitbull so I dont worry much.
>>2793760Yup riding is where it's the worst. Some dogs seem to think you're some kind of weird animal and flip out. If I can't outrun I generally just force myself to jump off and confront the fucker. 95% of the time they see you're a guy and immediately lose interest. And I figure, if they keep coming, I'm now standing there holding a large metal object.But there have been a couple times when something told me it was wise to just go like hell and lose 'em. It's the ones that don't bark and just come at you full throttle. They don't want to scare you, they want to get you. Yes, one of these was a pit, but the other few looked like german shepard mutts. Like mini grey wolves. A few times I've been flying down a woods road and almost run into a kamikaze... had to fake them out and dodge at the last second. I get that people will have guard dogs in the country, but you shouldn't have your animal with a taste for fucking flesh just wandering public roads. We spend centuries intensively breeding working dogs just to have everybody plug their ears and pretend that breed LITERALLY DOES NOT MATTER
>>2793994It is a nice town, it's in the middle of nowhere and so everybody has this point of view that they can just let their dogs be free fucking animals dude, but see, they're all republicans and so they just have a big dog and laugh when it barks and don't think it needs to be trained at all. Of course this is a nice town, it's almost all boomers, know what that also means? THEY ALL DRIVE. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN A PEDESTRIAN IN 20 YEARS. So these fucking jackass retards with their nice town have no idea what kind of hell they've created for anybody on foot. No dogs on my morning bike ride today, thank god. Your mom is a whore, btw
>>2794033>>2793994My heart drops when these retarded fucking jackasses take their FULLY UNTRAINED 120LB PITBULL TO THE PARK and then they act surprised as fuck when it chases every single person on a bike Like it literally wasn't an expectation for them they are genuinely surprised, the strays are very common and much worse but this specific situation is so goddamned stupid and happens at least 50% of the time I ride through any park here
>>2794035>>27940333 days ago I saw a pitbull mauling 2 other dogs in the dog park area there was about 10 people freaking the fuck outOf course that's not my business I kept riding but it's truly fucking nonsense not a single person in this ENTIRE TOWN has trained their dogs I even wonder if the cops train their dogs because its really deeply into absurdity here
>>2794037Sounds like a couple of dogs and a little snit and you freaked out like a little bitch.You seem so traumatized by dogs that you are irrational about everything
>>2794050Nah I like dogs I have zero fear of them I'm not OP dogs are cool I get along with them great you want to believe something because it's important to you, you're pretty pathetic for that. There are a lot of very shitty dogs here, and all over America. Enjoy your suburbs in the fake America. Be realistic, you fucking idiot.
>>2793768Shitbulls can be over 100lb, and homicidally aggressive. A while back, I was attacked by one that was about 60lb that ruined an expensive pair of pants and gave me a nice scar about 4" from my groin. Fortunately, it was not as game as other pits and I was able to dissuade her with a few hard blows. I punched it hard enough to drop an adult man and it reacted like it was a love tap. Now I always carry a good folder with a handguard, at a minimum, in case I run into a really crazy one. Fuck those demon animals.
>>2794188lol dude just walked past one behind a fence, it's a super shitty fence and this fucker is huuuuuge haha every day I walk past and this fucker tackles the fence as hard as he canthe fence is leaning like 30 degrees, he's almost got it, he is almost able to kill a pedestrian and I know he fuckin will
>>2794053>>2794188samefag
>>2793462 A knife is good in this situation?https://youtu.be/wapqIVvc-dQ?si=SNxLhrdhicS276qnOr a spray in this one?https://youtu.be/-8PD6f6DfCs?si=Hx_jYik_Jbcq65rfMorehttps://youtu.be/xGJmtqpCelo?si=Np5rMbPvib3HWC_aIn Murica there are no shepherding traditions that use rustic dogs.Some, in my place, started to use dogs from anatolya and Russa, the ones from videos anove are cubs in comparation. And i was at fishing. I had to crose a mountain river and run up in the mountain braking and losing stuff in forest because the beasts tracked me.If you meed 5 80kg rustic eurasian doga... only a gun can help you.
>>2794206your mom is a whore
>>2794211This is not even remotely close to the same situation as stray pitbulls The dogs you've posted are good boys
>>2794219false
>>2794220Are there any pitbulls left? Because i see only some fat bull type left.https://youtu.be/uuN40Ak7_D0?si=9Sk9BbXlN-e_Jo5uStill les dangerously then a pack of rustic central Asia Dagestan dogs that are now imported en masses from Russia.
>>2794340Livestock guardian dogs are cool they just watch you, that's a good dog. Don't know about the dagestani dogs, but something tells me that muslims have a propensity to teach dogs to do evil. "pitbull" is a generic term for a certain phenotype and behavior style at this point, sure, but they are not rottweilers they are not german shepherds they are not mastiffs they have their primary genetics and it is rather obvious if you have eyes one mauled my mother march 2024 she almost lost her arm, it was my cousin's pitbull and it was completely random
>>2793497I don't hate dogs. I hate pet owners because 99% of them are insufferable retards.
You hate dogs anonYou are weak and you lie
>>2794378>t. schizoLearn how the website works--Boomer.
>>2793594I would say that his fear is justified, because dog owners are retarded now. They treat them like babies instead of animals that should be obedient, a long time ago people would put down dogs that were aggressive towards things they weren't supposed to be aggressive towards. People believed in selective breeding and didn't put up with needlessly aggressive dogs unless it was for a specific purpose, now they believe if you love the dog enough and give it a comfy life it won't ever hurt anyone.
>>2794386There are like 10 different posters ITT btw, roughly 2 of them are trolling, the other 8 agree that you should reasonably protect yourself in public due to the circumstances they live in
>>2794387I see
>>2794387I think you are 8 of them
>>2794390You were proven wrong already >>2794219
>>2794390I'm the one shitting on pet owners.Everyone else is just trying to steal my thunder. >>2794392I'm not going to agree, disagree or even argue but I wanted to point out posting screen caps on a website notorious for image editing is pretty cringe.
>>2794395What's even more cringe is assuming there are 2 people on the fucking internet
Reminder that there is one dog hating autist on this board and he pretends he is not alone. He has been at this for YEARS
>>2793470Good for parks and for the countryside, I'd get a pistol at one point if you are in America.
>>2794430>Hates the owners>dogtards constantly try to pretend he hates dogsIt's almost like you deranged retards are incapable of telling the truth so you're easy to antagonize simply by describing objective reality.
>>2793462a knife for divers, its for sharks... once plunged into the body cavity it instantly releases gases from the co2 canister built in. haven't had a chance to use mine yet, i hang flyers on door knobs and cant wait for the day lol
>>27944941. It was for boar hunting2. The manufacturer doesn't even make it anymore so you can't buy one
>>2794344Sorry about that. Maybe is a Murican problem. I was once bitten by a hunting mixed hound and terrier. Not much, just a scratch. Is awfull the sensasion, from then i have a fear of them.Still. Those little dogs can be just catched woth hands by the back of the neck and thrown away under a fence.
