What on earth would I do if four bears came into my camp? Why, I would die of course. Literally shit myself lifeless.

About This Quote

We all know that the first thing we do when we encounter a dangerous situation is to run away screaming. If we weren't running away, we would be throwing things at the bears. Obviously, we would not want to rely on our first instinct and risk dying by doing so. This quote is a reminder of the first instinctual reaction you have when you encounter something dangerous.

The best way to deal with dangerous situations is to take a moment and reflect on what you would do if the situation was reversed. It can be quite hilarious when you imagine how different your life would be if you had encountered four bears instead of four men in business suits.
