    I can go hiking, by myself, and not worry about being attacked.

    Is that too serious?

    By bears?

    I spent 4 days hiking from Easy Pass to Colonial Creek a few years ago. I was planning to hike to Stehekin (in nine? days) but there was a fire and I couldn't stomach the food I brought and I had to bail halfway through. About 15 miles of the trip was through a rarely visited part of North Cascades National Park, the trail hadn't been maintained that year, I went 2 days without seeing another human, there was nothing but elk and bears in the area. NPS made me carry a bear canister. The hippie ranger gave me a lecture. "Bears don't want to eat hikers, they want to eat berries." She told me to announce my presence, state my intentions, and don't get between an adult and a huckleberry bush.

    So I spent the next several days saying "Hey, bear" every time the trail was too brushed out to see, or went around a blind corner. To avoid startling one. "Hey, bear. I'm a human, walking down the trail. Just passing through. Visiting, on my way to Stehekin."

    "Hey, bear."

    Literally the only words I heard for ... I don't know, 36 hours? I didn't expect the solitude to be so heavy.

    I spent the last day pretty worried about getting back to my car. I guess that's another gender difference - women must have an easier time hitch hiking. But I got to the road, and five minutes later somebody was taking me to my car, we spent the trip talking about which trails were best.

    Here's a picture from the first night on the trail, at Fisher Basin Camp.

    Gorgeous! I always make loud bear conversation to let them know I'm coming when I hike...

    Testicles: unfair!

    And I think it would suck to be a boy 11-18 unable to control boner activity. Or 8-50, or whatever.

    At least when our nips're pointy, people'll just assume; that we're chilly!

    Sucks to be a guy too. My poor husband has to give me his jacket when I'm cold, run out in the rain to pull the car up for me, get back out in the rain to open my door, any and all bug disposal, lift all the heavy things and keep me in amazing shoes.

    He lifts all the heavy things?. pffft he loads me up with all grocery bags about 5 on each arm and slaps me on the ars and tells me giddy up..

    he does give me his jacket and kills any roaches.. he makes me kill stink bugs though.. what a wus.

    Yeah, I remember that. "No ... I'm not ready to stand up right now."

    I think it's totally unfair how men are at the mercy of their hormones! The water retention, weight gain, insatiable food cravings, mood swings and post menopausal mustache is just a horror!

    It's ridiculous how much you don't realize you use a shoulder so much until you can't use it anymore!

    I had to even cease wearing, button/zipper pants & just wear yoga because it was frustratingly difficult, at it's worst!
