Just creating a Lemmy substitute for the GeorgiaCampAndHike subreddit. This is for camping and hiking in the U.S. state of Georgia.

Rules

  1. Please be nice. No bigotry, racism, sexism, etc.
  2. Keep posts related to Georgia and it's immediate surrounding states.
  3. Will add more rules as necessary.

Moderation

Totally up for allowing others to moderate this as it grows. I just created this community to have a place to go. -/u/jecht360

I've always heard that if you encounter an aggressive grizzly you need to curl up in a ball and pray. There's not much else you can do...

Wear running shoes. You don’t have to outrun the bear, you just have to be faster than your companions.

Another bear joke. I’ve got a million of them.

I just make sure to hike with friends with small children so we can toss one of the kids to the bear while we escape. Sorry Timmy, you gotta take one for the team big guy!

You would have to let go of the twins, or the bear will just have more appetite after one small snack.
