It seems that all conversations in Alaska (per son...never been there) is about bears and fish. The violence and utter suddenness of a bear attack apparently is astonishing. That's why the 9mm carry. At least you might get it out and put a few shots in. (A guy was killed by a black bear where he stayed last summer - he was walking around with nothing but a knife and all Alaska was armed). The story of your Brown-bear attack though is what it is all about. great tale....and sorry for the trembling hand the next day with the coffee. Felt kind of like that once 55 years ag0..oh well.
