>>796703I had a black widow living on my handtruck at work for about 2 months. It was inches away from my leg most of the day. She was pretty chill tho.
Lots of black bears at my old neighbor's cabin in Northern Wisconsin. We were driving down the little dirt road to get there and there was a pair of black bears running across the road. The first one crossed, and the second was still right on the other side of the road when we stopped the car in the middle of them and rolled all the windows down to look. It wasn't a mom and cubs though, probably a male and female.
He has had some crazy experiences with the bears when I wasn't there though. They had some family up there for the weekend once and they were staying in this mobil home building right down the hill on the lake. He hears knocking on the door of the cabin and thinks it's family members. When he answers the door, it's a mama bear with her cubs scratching at it. Ran and grab the shotgun and just shot it into the air to scare em off.
You always keep a gun with you up there. Don't need anything crazy because black bears, but at least something to scare them off.
