[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9615165, member: 19675"] Have you ever seen the videos of certain CLEARLY naive city folk trying to pet “fluffy cows” or take a dip in the hot springs in Yellowstone, make friends with wild warthogs in Africa, feed wild bears in Russia, etc.? Hell, when I was a kid, my own father was one of a bunch of people who fanned out across a roadside field, trying to get a photo of a MASSIVE elk. But he wised up when the elk alerted and started eyeballing the people closing in on him. He got his picture, returned to the car, and we drove off before anything else happened… There’s definitely a too-large segment of city-dwellers (from all over the world) who are utterly clueless about how dangerous nature really is. To be clear,[B][I] I’m [/I][/B]city folk. I understand a lot about animals, much less about dangerous plants. But I don’t know JACK about the dangers of terrain beyond the blatantly obvious.
