I don’t know if Merino wool is the best use case for BIFL.

My take on wool: Wear it as long as possible, patch it and recycle or upcycle it when the time comes, and buy something that’s 100% wool instead of having synthetics mixed in, so it can be composted after use.

It’s really strong pepper spray, you spray it between you and the bear, towards the ground approx 10m from you I think. They do come with instructions though, please read them before use.

What’s the difference between black and brown bear poop?

Edit: it makes sense to make oneself heard, the worst thing that can happen is quietly walking around a corner and there’s a bear with two cubs close by.

Bear bells are a bit annoying and clapping or just talking to each other also works. Humans are not considered bait for bears and they will usually try to avoid you.

There are good books about avoiding bear attacks when in the backcountry.

Noone ever thinks about the lawyers

You’re missing that the climate crisis is not a problem that can be solved by consumers, that’s what BP wants to make you believe by introducing the carbon footprint. Those companies are actively working to hold on to the status quo because they have lots of money flowing their way until things change.

The message behind this is not to stop buying from those companies, it’s that they are knowingly destroying our future and that we have a right to defend ourselves and this future.

They pledge to defederate from Meta, I’d go one step further and defederate from any instance that federates with Meta.

I think there should be an alliance of instances that defederate from any instance that federates with Meta.
