Risk-taking behaviour

Don't tease a black bear, just mentally invest in suicide, the actual train wreck I am stuck inside is absurd lol. What if I did get myself mauled, damn idiot

What happened?

Oh no, did you test the whole bear or man in the woods thing?

If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. If it's white, good night.

What happened?

Nothing, just crossing my own lines of wildlife safety because they're always guidelines

Actually it's sorta been tested on me and I am more afraid of people than bears. I stay on private property like most of us do, there's no doorbell and the driveway says PRIVATE PROPERTY and I'm in a trailer tucked into some trees you can't see from the road. I was afraid of what I thought was somebody walking up the driveway but it turned out to be a bear and I was relieved. So there ya go.

I'd pick the bear too.

Guidelines are just somewhat important recommendations, nothing bad can happen, right?

I would trespass.

Actually in this area, everything is private property and there's all sorts of trails that network the mountains, there's a history of logging and mining and all sorts of development so this region is basically completely developed and human-trod.

The other end of the property might have hikers and horse riders and that would be okay. I'd advise you to visit me from that end of the property. Do not come walking up the driveway or you'll scare me and I'll... be scared and put on my most charismatic face, you will be charmed and soon we'll be playing a few hands of Rummy or Kaiser [card games] and then before you know it you'll be buying whiskey for us [me] and I'll cook over the fire and it'll be fantastic.

Then I'll decide I've said something awkward or made a body language at the wrong time or something like that, and I will become more and more shy until I disappear into the woods and you'll become the proud new owner of not a lot of shit, not this property, this trailer, but I do own a nice expedition hiking pack and I have done a damn fine job training my cat so please adopt her.

To bring myself back to point, everybody always trespasses here, even me, and it's something I had to get used to. Everything says "PRIVATE PROPERTY" on it except a couple of flat parking spots and if you want to access trails you go on the private property and be brave and nobody will be mean after the first few times. That's what I was told and so far it's worked.
