I spent a month north of the Brooks range one summer, cleaning up an abandoned well site.

I stepped out of bathhouse and came face to face with a grizzly rummaging through the freezer. I yelled and frightened him so bad he ran off in the opposite direction.

I carried a Winchester Big Bore 94, 375 cartridge for bear protection when working remote jobs.
