Bears

Was tenting in Canada, many years ago, traveling on a motorcycle, with my young daughter. We put our tent a little back in the trees, in a CG to enjoy our own space. Late night, something woke us, shaking our tent. With the thin nylon tent, and bright moon, I could clearly see it was a bear that got tangled in our tent support strings. I reached for my weapon/hammer, and told her not to worry, I will deal with the bear, while you go to safety. Her concern....if the bear gets you, how am I going to get home? Well we had no food, nothing the bear wanted, so it moved on. Sure made me laugh later on, thinking that if the bear killed me, the only real issue would be a way home for her!
