>>2855815a coworker of mine did a few tours to the desoltate islands surrounding svalbard, norrway got weather and radar stations there. he where dog sledding on his time off one day and got tired of the krag rifle on his back hitting his head on every bump, so he took it of and put in on his sledge, and right there the dogs took off and ran home with the sledge, rifle and all his gear. and he had to walk home in icebear land, unarmed, no gear, nothing. it was just a 5km walk or so but plenty of time to get eaten by ice bear.
yes svalbard has these signs at stores and its one of few if not the only airports where you can rent a gun.
