Maligne lake, 45km outside Jasper (which is 4 hours from my house). Sometimes do a bike ride from Jasper up to Maligne lake (about 1.2km of vertical) and then back again. Brilliant on the way down, an absolute leg burner on the way up.

 
Hope the time a bear chases you its on the way down.

Okay, good of you to do this!

I'll put a general one in here for you (but anybody can answer this).

Canadian star Davide Xausa was rumoured to have been signing for Dundee United at one stage just over 15 years ago: it’s a sort of puzzle for everyone this……………
Why would he have ‘completed a set’ for United if he’d signed?
 

We have had players starting with the other 25 letters of the alphabet. 
 

 Brilliant!!!!!!

Just one serious question though.

What is the moment that stands out as the most mental you've gone at a United match. The type of tribalistic explosion you looked back on, unique to a fitba situation, that even surprised yersel?

Ever saw a grizzly bear?

Aye, quite a few times. Always from a vehicle. You don't want to come across one when you're hiking or biking. They can run as fast as a race horse and they eat folk if you piss them off.

 
You seem like a decent Arab so I Googled to see if I could find you a solution if chased.

Personally like numbers 2 and 4 the best and fairly chuckled at the disclaimer.


How to Survive a Black Bear Attack

1. Carry bear pepper spray. As with the grizzly bear, bear pepper spray should be your first line of defense in a bear attack.

2. Stand your ground and make lots of noise. Black bears often bluff when attacking. If you show them you mean business, they may just lose interest.

3. Don’t climb a tree. Black bears are excellent climbers. Climbing up a tree won’t help you out here.

4. Fight back. If the black bear actually attacks, fight back. Use anything and everything as a weapon- rocks, sticks, fists, and your teeth. Aim your blows on the bears face- particularly the eyes and snout. When a black bear sees that their victim is willing to fight to the death, they’ll usually just give up.

Disclaimer

The Art of Manliness does not encourage people to go out and find a bear to practice these skills with.     Practicing on your significant other will not do either.

1st time I've been able to appreciate that I'm only surrounded by bears with red hands tattooed on their necks. Barks worse than bites for sure and nae need to run.

Pics look so good I had to zoom in as they look fake on first visual. What a place to be bud!

Smearing yer kids with food to attract dangerous wild animals? For a fucking photo?😂😕😢

 
Outrageous behaviour, peanut butters disgusting.

 
If yer bairns so bad surely you'd use honey in that situation.

Been looking for this photo for a couple of days. A wolf shot by a hunter just an hour from where I live. You don't get these things chasing you as you're walking through Lochee (although most wolves would steer clear of Lochee)

Beautiful wild animal.

I will never understand why someone would want to kill that.

Maybe just me.
