Heres my commentary on the bear incident: it was all because the people involved in the trip were lax in their security procedures. 1. Svalbard requires everybody who leaves the settlements to carry a longarm with them. If you do this, make sure that you know how to use it because its not a magic stick that repels bears by itself. Apparently, it was a K98 and they tried to shoot the bear with the safety on the middle position (cant fire but bolt is unlocked). 2. If your security equipment does not work and it working may mean the difference between completing your trip and getting eaten by a bear, maybe you should replace it instead of trying to fix it with a paperclip. 3. Check your equipment BEFORE you go out into bear country. Make sure that it not only works, but you know how to use it as well. It may mean the difference between being at Eton and being eaten. ~SC
