I have a friend who used to work on the North Slope - he says it's SOP that there is a LARGE rifle (he had a .458 if I remember right) in the truck, and a good pair of binoculars to look around BEFORE you got out of the truck

Heck, not even bears - back in the summer of 1980, I spent a lot of time on a farm in Canada that had a problem with Ferral Dog packs - there was a loaded 30-06 in the truck, and one person on the crew was always on dog watch - carnivores are NOT fun - BTW SOP was if you SAW the dog pack, you put out a warning, and if they were in range of your skill level to hit them, you started shooting
