Fighting back against a bear until it leaves is different than running around strangling them for sausages, I think.

check the second video. He killed a mother bear with a motherfucking stick.

If he could do that once, he could do it another time. I am pretty sure humans killed bears in ye olde times as well. Maybe not with their bare hands though. But something to remember is that swords don't do slicing damage and arrows don't do piercing damage. So all damage is the same.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

With bows, no doubt. Attacking a bear in close combat is a very stupid thing to do. The fellow who killed one with a stick got lucky.

I am not sure why you think that, because with a long pointy stick or spear you can easily kill a bear by putting one end under your foot and holding the other end in your hand waiting for the bear to attack and kill itself. Pretty much as seen in the movie 300.

Among some Native American tribes, at least in the Sierra Nevada Range, it was a rite of coming of age to hunt and kill a black bear with a club. Im sure they didnt go out of their way to find the biggest, meanest black bear around, but still...black bears are NOT grizzly bears.

Or just normal brown bears for that matter. Which is what I thought we were talking about. This might explain something. :?

I picture this as young men afraid to get hurt seeking for a bear napping that they could land their club on.

How much practice do you think she needed to do all that so fast?

I want to see all these people who say its easy and nothing to do get up and actually try on different locks.
Just because someone can do it fast and easily does not mean it is easy.

Me, being someone who likes to play many thief/stealth games yet also love realism decided to try my hand at lock picking in real life. Not to steal from anyone but just to see if its like the games. I researched, got tools, tried my hand at some locks (front door, bathroom, etc on my own place).

Its tough.
Then you absolutely fail at lockpicking. It is not difficult at all.
All talk no action, show us all how easy it is then. Don't bother posting videos of someone else doing it who has practiced *See above video*.

I remember once hearing about a discovery channel show where, for a similar rite of passage, an indigenous tribe somewhere had to hunt crocodiles. I was looking forward to some crazy melee in a river, but when they actually showed the grand finale, it was a guy with a sharp stick walking up to a 6-foot crocodile, sticking in the back so the stick went through and pinned the croc, and standing there until the croc died.
I dont have any personal knowledge, but I would guess that the bear-hunting rite was somewhat similar. But still. They had to kill a bear with a club.
