    Tragedy, AKA just a Wednesday in the good’ole USofA?

    I split my time between Wyoming and Florida. Normally, in Wyoming, I hike alone in forests full of wolves, grizzly bears, mountain lions, and territorial moose with nothing but a can of bear spray and a little bell. In Florida I go to dinner with a concealed 6-1 .45ACP pistol loaded with high velocity 230 grain hollow points.

    PS: To all foreigners reading this; the US is not one big “active shooter” zone or high crime area. Most of it is super chill and friendly. It’s just that when it isn’t chill, it goes full gore and we are mostly desensitized to it at this point. (Definitely not a brag)

      Problem is i (we) mostly hear about the us from tv or shows or news. So we mostly see the shit, because somehow thats entertainment. I dont believe everyone in the usa is fucknuts but i must admit it does make me think twice about going to the us, well that and i have to be at the airport 5 fucking hours before boarding. Oh and i definitely dont want to end up in the hospital for a slinky pinky or somthing and be broke the rest of my life.

      But still it happens a LOT. Maybe best to hike with wolfs ;)
