Bears are generally more bothered by small dogs than big ones because they're harder to swat away.

I agree that wolves can be vary dangerous to dogs, they are intelligent hunters. One method wolves get dogs is by one wolf running out of the woods in front of a dog and his master, once the wolf has the dogs interest the wolf runs back into the woods luring the dog away from the human, once the dog has followed the wolf into the woods the rest of the pack jumps him and its all over.
I don’t think a dog would win if it got into a fight with a cougar however I do think a big dog would discourage a cougar from attacking. I’ve seen small and big dogs stand up to things that could kill them and yet they were able to ward them off just by there ferocious attitude. Cougars have been known to attack humans and I still think they’d be less likely to if I had a dog. The combination of a dog and human would be more discouraging than just a dog or human alone. And like I said before, at the vary least it could distract the Predator away from me. I still feel safer with a dog then by my self. Though I have to say I’d prefer a human instead.

Very good points, owl girl, one of the other things that wolves will do is let a female in heat go prancing around in front of dogs to lure them out of town and they (the males obviously, one of the weaknesses of the gender, not necessarily just the species..the gender) become wolf food. People often underestimate the physical prowess of wild animals. There is one caveat I still want to add though is...it depends on the dog. Unfortunately, these days most dogs can't hunt much better than we can and they're more likely to scare prey away than they are to help hunt it. Remember any animal that you or I would hunt for food is also hunted on a regular basis by those other predators and so has developed pretty keen senses of smell and hearing. A dog that is bred or trained for hunting, by all means. My favorite would still be a dog with its' own satellite phone though :) (Call for help Lassie, call 9-1-1, good girl Lassie, good girl,):)

A good example would be a bear, they are scared of dogs not because dogs are more powerful than they are but because they stand there ground and make ferocious and loud sounds. I would however worry about wolves getting my dog because they hunt in packs, but if I’m there I don’t think wolves will try it. So if a predator sees me and a big brave noisy dog it will probably leave us alone where as if it just sees me alone I look a lot more week to it. Also predators like the element of surprise and considering dogs have better senses and are more alert it could warn me of the presence of a predator giving me the upper hand. And in the sad and unfortunate event the dog dos get attacked at the vary least it has distracted the Predator away from me. Plus they can hunt, keep me warm, be good company and discourage humans with ill intentions. So I’m still not convinced a dog is all that bad of an idea.

Not to mention that if you were really in bad shape and you had to have food or die Fido would make a nice stew. Okay, before you all start jumping down my throat how many of you saw the film: "Shackleton"? Also my wife is part Cherokee and you know what they used to serve honored guests, right? Finally, we are talking about survival here, right?

Lol yes I’m rally a girl, why? And yes I was raised in Alaska it’s a beautiful place and powerful, for example today something happened in Juneau AK where I lived part of the time I was up there. Just a few second ago I got a call from my uncle saying that part of the glacier broke off and is going to flood east Juneau. And as you probably know glacier water is very very cold. Its just another reminder of how powerful nature is, even in the city. Luckily my uncle isn’t in that part of Juneau. He said he felt shaking so my assumption is an earthquake broke it loose.

thats so cool

not the glacier part

If I kill the dog, after I eat him all the food will be all gone, but if he hunts I could get food over a longer span of time and not all at once which would be bad in the summer because he would rot and some would go to waist, and it would be bad in the winter because I could freeze.

where do u live now owl girl

Ok good lol:D . So where are you from, is there god camping?

idaho and yep awesome

owl girl. I see that you live in Minnesota and that you must like to camp. Have you ever been to the Boundary Waters up around Ely? I have made alot of trips there in the past several years. It is some of the best camping and canoeing in the world in my opinion. bear

I haven’t yet but I’d like to. The best camping I’ve don was in Juneau Alaska when my family didn’t have a house so we grabbed a tent and moved into the woods for a month or tow. I was only 6 and I loved it, I thought we should live in the woods every summer lol. The trees were huge, the forest was huge, everything was huge, and no one could ever find me because I always out playing in the woods. Part of the time we were next to the ocean and that was a lot of fun to.

one thing mmm... survival kit should be small waterproof and have everything you need in one small kit but without experience or a good state of mind you'll almost never be as sarge47 (perfect quote from boy scouts) said be prepared

But a dog would help to considering how many uses they have.

At least you won't starve. Dog + large rock = several meals.;)

One thing? A knife or a Kukri, but if i had to have just one, the knife. Here are mine:

With a satellite phone you can order pizza and get a ride out with the delivery guy...:D :D :D

go Wolfpack!

ATTN WOLFPACK

you have all dissapointed me, what is the one survival tool that you cannot live without?

your brain..

you should have all practised your skills repeatedly under different situations, the question was "what one thing" you can always make knives get food from plants get water stay warm make a shelter all from what nature provides but if you do not train you brain i dont care what one tool you have you will die.


always be prepared....

I think that's just a little unfair bro, if people are out there without a functioning brain...hmmm...never mind...:D :D

Maybe we just all figured that when lilbunnyfufu said " if you could have one thing" that he included every part of what is considered "you". I guess we were just all being silly about it.

I'd always take a knife, probably a big like foot long... it can be used for uncountable things... fire making, shelter making, signaling, protection, ...

the knife is the obvious answer... but its not mine.. if i could have anything it would be a satellite phone.. if that answer doesnt count then give me les stroud, he can do all the work for me

If I can take another person I'd pick the Professor from Gilligan's Island, that guy's smarter than MacGyver!

go wolfpack!

I'd take Maryann and stay for awhile.

But it seems that MacGyver could think of some handy thing to make, like make a compass, or use a bunch of things to make a radio... lol...:)

Dude could make a radio out of coconut shells, it doesn't get any better than that. Why didn't he get them all rescued? He was stranded on a desert island and knocking boots with MaryAnn, who'd want to go home?

ROFLMAO

My ax, used one for years on line work, can do most things with it.
Had a 1-3/4lb HB Voyageur 24" handle, now a smaller one GB Hunters ax 1-1/2lbs 19" handle.
But I keep thinking if I remembered to take the ax why not my bushpack that it is attached to?
