6-7% of people think they'd beat a Grizzly Bear in a fight

Post by ghostrunner »

22% of men think they'd beat a Chimp and 31% say they'd beat a large dog.

I give myself a shot at the medium dog and the eagle if things go right. Beyond that, I'm probably done for.

A couple of years ago I had a fairly large dog charge at me from across the street. I wasn't going to run. Especially not in my own yard. I was like "whelp, I guess we're gonna do this!?!" I started yelling at the dog to get the f*** out of here, and other crazy ramblings. In hindsight, I probably looked insane if any of my neighbors saw it happening. LOL... But I was fully prepared to go with this dog. Luckily, he thought better of it and backed off, went slinking off between the houses. Never saw him again.

And 100% of jcshutouts don’t just think it, they KNOW it.

Seriously though, a bear would be tough but they are slow enough that, with a weapon, it’s conceivable. A chimp or larva dog would be way more difficult IMO. Speed and power in both. Flexibility in the chimp, claws and fangs in the dog.

Edit: oh, unarmed? Dang, just run away, be loud and threatening or play dead, depending on the type of bear.

More women think they could beat a lion than men. Interesting.

I was on a hike this morning and thought about if I came across a mountain lion, if I was ready to fight it. I felt pretty confident that I could win.

Also, I am assuming these are fights to the death. While I'm somewhat afraid of geese attacking me, I'm struggling to think of a scenario where the goose would defeat me in a death match.

6-7% of people should watch The Revenant and get back to us.

Exactly. A goose might bite my nuts, but once I get ahold of its neck, it's over for that evil hissing cobra chicken.

Did you see the video that went viral recently of the guy that startled the mountain lion on a hike and they had a stand-off for several minutes??? That was intense. I'm not so sure I'd want to try an angry/hungry puma.
