I think there's a fire over there Or something there's uh, that's what is that oh it's somebody in an orange shirt Yeah, should I call that in or? No, it looks like yeah, that's the hiking trail There's gonna be lots of people hiking on that part of the hiking trail. Oh, so there won't be fires on the trails Behind them this entire time a fire has been slowly building and spreading Oh, no, I mean the hiking trails were for barbecue for some reason What's the reason? Well, it's probably because there's a bunch of barbecue with your bear box You're gonna want to get to that fast because the barbecue does not last And a bear box is It's a box to put your food in so the bears can't get to it. Oh, yeah, what if I want to feed the bears? Oh boy, well you shouldn't Okay, because if the bears know that there's food here then they can get they're gonna come keep coming back for it and bears can climb stares So you don't want to have a bear up here in your fire tower that's the There are more bear deaths than fire deaths on scorn mountain every year. Isn't it Isn't it smarter for me to leave food out so that my cabin is surrounded by bears So no one tries to come up here and fuck with me.
