/out/ - Outdoors » Thread #2827599

I live around there (foot of Bucegi) and they have become a problem, but our incapable government does nothing about it. Last estimate from the ministry in 2023 is that there are between 10.5 and 13k bears in the country, but wouldn't be surprised at all if there's more. At the end of the day they're protected, and Romania is big and has many remote places. They walk around my village willy nilly anyway, especially if it's foggy. In the last years there's more or less a monthly report of a bear attack and someone either was killed or maimed. On the one hand I say fuck these creatures, there's too many and I just want to hike into the forest from my house and look for fossils and cool plants, but on the other hand tourists being killed I support 100%.

It's only Western Europe (particular the northern parts) that genocided any predators from existence. Eastern Europeans actually value nature and wildlife.

Just get a tax stamp and you can get literally whatever you want. You can buy a tank with live ammunition if you do the proper paperwork here.

If you're in Europe either:
>no dogs - not innawoods

>everpresent chance that you'll get near dogs - congrats, you're innawoods

if I will give some hard learned advice:
> drop the ego. ask local guides detailed questions about routes. don't trek a trail that doesn't offer easy alternative headings (don't get yourself bottlenecked-see next)
>out and backs are your friend. Of course, any loop is also out and back, but if you're at the edge of your capabilities, 9 miles in to a 10 miler full day trek, 500M elevation, no water, and suddenly a idiot shepherd left his dogs roaming loose you have no option but turn back. Don't get bottlenecked or you're going BACKWARDS 9 miles to the car and town and not 1 mile.
>dont rely on gps maps, phones fail, make drawn maps, learn them and use them as well as you can. laminated helps also. triangulate, use a compass, learn how to detect north at any given moment for example
>always bring a trekking pole, ideally one you could use as a shield/spear if you had to
>nobody cares if you carry a weapon if you don't EVER flash it about
>sometimes you can appease inquisitve dogs with crackers. not angry ones, but edgy ones, throw that floofer a cracker and he will be less edgy. this normally happens for dogs roaming small towns and not necessarily farm dogs (which are always imbeciles)
>dont carry heavy shit you dont need to. keep keys on your person in case you gotta ditch your pack (bad scenario but might happen)
>get some chem lights, a little mirror, a small 'light; strong torch to give SOS symbols (worst case scenario
>you can spot dogs further away if you carry a small pair of binos, it doesnt really bother them or threaten them too much but dont like raise and stare hardly at them for a long time, same as you dont raise a stick to them as if it is a weapon cos dogs are smart(well, trained anyways)
>food and water and make sure some of your food can also hydrate you .

>don't do too much alone,, make friends, or at least go where there are many other hikers. the woods are not supposed to be your alone fantasy or larp, they can be, but good luck doing that when you fuck your ankles or piss off animals. just drop ego and be responsible. make friends, say hello (couples are harder to make friends on, but normally you can smile with the lady and greet the man,m and if he is not an asshole you can talk, its ok. it is good if you have family/wife and appear as a solo trekking man and not young odd person)
>I have a ratio and theory because I live quite innawoods: zero people around is 20, a few is 50, busy is 100. I calculate around a number, and I let that tell me how much of my capabilities I wanna use that day. it normally means how confident I feel to challenge myself bases on how many other people can be near me. in practise it means I push my abilitys on weekends when lots of tourists come - is ok, because more people see you say hello and it feels better.

I will agree that most of this becomes irrelevant if you have a firearm that you can use safely. even if it meant trouble I would shoot my way to safety if I had to. I think if something attacks, or you 'know' it is attacking, you just shoot and survive. This is 100% one of the things that made me start to believe in and support 2nd ammendement rights. at least we have knives.

My fate in Christ, the whole damn country is killing bears. It takes like 100 lei in supplies to make a bear snare, don't rely on our corrupt government, take charge and kill bears on your own. It is really not that hard. I have never done this as I am a dirty Bucharestanon, howevER I have relatives whol live rurally and let's just say that they take the law in thier own hands.

The shitheads in Buchares just want to keep their EU NEETbuxx and for that they need to keep the European Commission happy. Don't want to get into politics but they will never actually solve this problem with the bears. Take initiative and solve it on your own.

Nigger, do you know what it is like to live in fear that a fucking bear is going to maul you while you go out to pee at night on your own property (yes we have outdoor toilets because we are a shithole)? No?

Well this is a reality in my country. Rural people live in fear because bears come to their farms and plunder their crops and steal their animals. Heck, even in big cities like Brasov you have these bears that eat trash and terrorize the locals. I am not saying that we need to cut down our forests, just that we need to kill more bears, not all of them, just enough os that the population is not forced to go to cities and villages for food. There are too many bears for the amount of wilderness they have and yes we should have more forests and more protected land for them, however that takes time and we do not have that. The only utilitarian solution would be to bait and trap them, if the government is not willing to do anything about it.

Don't tell me that you are one of those hippies that would gladly eat game but don't you dare touch muh fuzzy lil bears, they didn do nuffin'! They good boys!

I was going to say "Not really, only like 2000 of them in the entire continent".
But then I decided to look up the population of brown bears in the US. Exclude the forsaken hellhole known as Alaska and it's about the same or even less than in Europe.

And upon further reading, excluding the forsaken wasteland known as Russia, it's like over 15000 bears.
Making the following statement completely moot:
>Exclude the forsaken hellhole known as Alaska and it's about the same or even less than in Europe.
If you exclude Alaska the US has like 1/10th of the brown bear population of Europe.
Of course the US makes up for it by having a shitload of the little four legged pussies known as black bears, which don't exist in Europe.

Super interdasting...

Depends on the location. In my area, that is wilder and less human dense, they are hiding. To be fair i never seen one. I found lots of tracks, even fresh. Parked the car, went to climb a hill, returned one hour later and fresh paws near car. They avoid contact with us because they are used to know we kill them and have fear. Most people don't care of laws and they shoot them anyway.
Just send someone from SRI then and now to kill some near the road and they will learn not to make contact with humans.

I want to go somewhere end of August and now I'm thinking maybe Tatras mountain range would be cool for hiking and just stumbled on this thread and now kinda scared. I'd be there alone, going as early as possible to get nice landscape photographs. How woody is the national park? I was thinking more alpine grassland plateau.
Is it a bad idea going alone? Should I be really worried about bears?
