I have caught some hellacious timber rattlesnakes not far from there though.

You get outside of most any major city in Canada and you'll find Moose, Elk and all types of Bears. The further out the bigger they are.
Here's a short video of a friend of mine riding a back road in southern BC.

He's got lots of bear videos and stills.

I run into bears all the time. I have been wandering my mountains for 35 years and they are very common on Vancouver Island. I see mothers with cubs every year, and really if you know what you are doing they are not a problem.


I have been charged by a big male I called Thomas, but they are ritual charges almost all the time. Never run! They can do 40 mph through the bush.

I wonder what Thomas calls you? "Breakfast", "Brunch", "Lunch", or "Supper"?

I knew him for years, that's why I named him. You are only prey if you fail the ritual charge test.

If he were to run Thomas would call him "not so Fast Food".

I have watched bears doing almost 40 mph through the bush.



My daughter who lived with the west coast bears near Tofino for 2 years, showed me the holes they make, when she was about 12. You spook one then run up to where it went into the bush, and if you are quick you can see the hole it made in the bush, closing up behind it.

Mountain lions scare tomorrow's shit out of me. I knew several folks who came out on the short end of a meeting with one of those. Emphasis on the past tense - knew. For the big kitties, you are prey - full stop. You may not see them, but they see you.

Back to the actual topic, I changed the tranny and diff lubes today. MT-90 in the gearbox and Gear 300 in the diff.

I love Canada! Visited a couple of times years ago. Wanna get back one day for sure. Y’all have a lot of mega fauna! Moose are incredible animals. You guys are supposed to have Bigfoot too!

Oh wow you’re on Vancouver Island!! Never been but from what I’ve seen in nature programs, just unprecedented beauty! And I KNOW you guys have Bigfoot!
Yeah that’s the intimidating thing about bears. If one truly wanted you, there’s just no way to get away. There’s not a snake in the world I’m afraid of, and ive caught just about everything in the southeastern US in 50 years of handling, but bears, no sir. I’ll admire from a safe distance. Like about a mile

What's the story behind the 'Tiffany Blue'? Nice powder coating.

Looks a lot like 50s era Seafoam Green. Gotta love it!
