Hey Guys,
The Surfers Journal Vol. 16 #1. Panhanling; Alaska By Bike. I'm all up in that. Hope this isn't to self promoting; thats not my intention! I'm just so stoked I've got to share this with others. :D


Only wished they would have spelled my name right (photo of the hand canon) :wink:

Paul Ferraris is a local photog, and a really good one! There's an interview with him on E's newly re-vamped site.

Great read!

Ever had to use that gun?

Sweet! I got that one on order! :lol:

can't wait to check it out salt!

PS - I ordered that one because it has a story about the "blacks key" - should be interesting, and if someone already has it don't spoil it!

Paul Ferraris and his group (most notably, Terry M.) were a group of fun loving amimals! I 've seen some of the photos that didn't make the journal...damn. Luckly for me the only gun I've had to use lately has four fins on it. :D
The thing about the gun is how versatile it is. And with out getting all "Guns and Amo" on you guys. For Black tail is mostly when I get to take it out of the holster (it's so big that I use a cordless drill tool holster). the times I've been with in 20' of a browny, it was all about body posture (just like freediving and running into a big gray thing). The gun is always a hindsight or after thought.
Thanks for the positive feedback! Stoked up North! Kevin Griffin :D [/code]

You're correct about body posture. I've spent a lot of time in the backcountry and have run up against bear and a few lion. I've never had to drop the hammer on anything I didn't plan to hunt.

What make/model handgun do you have (I haven't seen the article). My wife's aunt moved to Alaska in the mid 1950's where her husband flew for the state police. They had a place on Clark Lake and everyone would have to pack.

Hey Coldsalt, well the brown bear problem here in New Zealand isn't to bad.... :) but I'm wonderin' what the correct body language is when facing a large bear.... I'd guess you try not to look like dinner but is a full foward posture too aggressive, and from 20' aren't you inside it's fight/flight line.... :?:
