BLOODY SCARED

I've developed this fear since being in Japan. Almost to the point of a phobia, I'm scared of bears. I don't know why, having never even seen a bear, much less been mauled by one. But I regularly think about them, especially before going to bed. And with Spring on the way I'll be camping again. And this year I want to do some solo camping. Back to nature and all that. I asked my Japanese teacher where I could get a gun or a machete, but she just laughed. And then went on to tell me that because this winter was so warm it messed with the bears hibernation cycles and there were many more attacks than usual. What the hell?
Looking for images to put on my blog, I typed in 'bear attack' to the google image search. God, I nearly through up. Maybe I should just bring a slow friend.
