GNP Day 12, HQ

9-second video: The Goat closest snuck up behind me. Had i not heard a faint stone-rustling sound, the Goat may have sniffed my shirt (they love the salt from human sweat).
Six hours door to door. Four hours on top.

Organized to have Bear Spray on every hike.

Organized to practice spraying it the last day of every Summer. Cannisters spray for about eight seconds. They say it’s 50 times stronger than Mace Pepper Spray.

Thought for a few moments it would be necessary to shoot a half-second spray bewteen me and the larger Goat.

Knowing what a half-second of spray looks like is a huge advantage in projecting confidence (read, no fear) to the animal.

My (humans) lack of fear casts doubt (and probably a healthy fear) about the Goat’s wilderness advantage.
