I listen/watch a podcast. On that navy seals were discussing how everyone is afraid of the dark naturally in the wilderness. It got me thinking what I am afraid of. The dark no (unless its going up the basement steps). Hiking, camping, hunting in grizzly bear country is a no. Driving or walking in any city. Yes. 100%. I would rather camp by myself next to a meatpole in grizzly country then walk in a big city. Walking in the dark by myself I don't even think about it. Even in grizzly country.
We had a visitor in camp on a remote moose hunt. I woke from a branch breaking fairly loud with in 20yds of the tent. I sat straight up. There was already 3 guys sitting up with guns in their hands. I then heard that unmistakable sound of a hoof clipping a log as it stepped over it. Back to sleep I went and slept like a baby. I know it was a moose. I also know a 4th guy with a gun in a tent wouldn't do anything that 3 guys with guns couldn't do.
Does everyone have some fear of the dark?
