Wasn't sure where to post this. I listen to this podcast every once and a while, but today the story is one probably known by some here, or is at least relatable.


An evening ride in the picturesque foothills of Southern California takes a terrifying turn. Anne Hjelle is a competitive mountain biker, used to pushing herself to the limit. But one evening in 2004, she is thrown out of nowhere into a primal struggle for her life. Even if she survives her battle with nature, what will her future hold?
The part about the lion watching in the bush, while the paramedic is trying to assist must have been....something, I don't even know.

And whatever happened to Kidwoo, eaten by a Tesla? run over by a bear? Went on a snowmobile and didn't come back?

Got charged by a little black bear tonight, had to be a cub, but no ma around. Must have saw the Canfield emblem and got scared. Had to pull the bear spray out twice in the last two days for out of control/aggressive dogs. Havent had to spray thankfully.

Guns make everything better


A 32-year-old who was “seriously injured” by the bear was taken via DPS helicopter straight to an Anchorage hospital. Troopers said the man was also being treated for an accidental wounding by gunshot.
