Speaking of packing heat - I've been working on a more effective repellant for grizzly bears and cougars. It's a huge flame thrower. This thing shoots a giant blast of super hot flaming gas about 2' or 3' wide up to 50' away! It will stop a heard of rogue elephants in their tracks, let alone a bear or couger which would run in burned terror - muh ha ha ha ha! I do have a couple small bugs to work out yet though - reducing the weight of the fuel tank carried on your back ... but more importantly, figuring out a way to get a few big fire trucks to follow me around in the wilderness to put out the big forest fires this thing would cause in case I did run into a beast. eek laugh Any ideas how to work out the 'bugs'? wink
