>going on field recording expedition in 1000-acre reserve a few miles down the road>recording the swamp at night>setup recording at dusk, get it going, and hike about 15mins up the trail to let it record a couple hours without me interfering with the wildlife>very dark night>sitting on a giant boulder the size of a garage>bored as fuck, can't see jack shit save a few starts through the canopy>at some stage pull out a ciggie>flick my lighter>there's a fucking lion face a few feet in front of me in the dark staring right at me>loud as fuck hiss right in my face>takes off like lightning through the woods>grab flashlight>all i see is trees and branches swayingmotherfucker was creeping up the side of the boulder in the dark about the fucking neck me
i got my recorder and nope'd the fuck out, in a frantic cold sweat that i can only describe as being just the end of Alien when Ripley's running around trying to GTFO of the ship before she gets got or the self destruct goes off
it was still almost an hour I was in the woods before I had the recorder and got back to the road
