AUSTRALIA has the second best quality of life in the world

2nd? Not bad. Behind Svalbard surely…

Norway is the only place in the world better than Australia

WTF? Norway?? Screw Norway!

I almost choked on my Svalbard Pops when I read that.

I can only assume they’re talking about Svalbard, given Norway owns (stole) it. Norway indeed….

Fuzz y0ur Expertise

I think I sh0uld highlight this page here
Best place to visit around the world
The best destinations around the world you must visit in your life time.

At the bottom is a PDF File entitled
Polar bear safety at Svalbard

Fuzz, as all kn0wing wise man 0f Svalbard I think this site needs sum investigation especially sum of the text within this PDF

Always have a sufficiently powerful weapon at hand when travelling in Svalbard outside the settlements. Be prepared to scare away approching bears using a scaring device

Ie reading further on y0ur Scaring device is a gun, Hey Mar I was just scaring the little Bear away and everythink went red……

But seriously I just want to go there to setup camp and follow Page 5 steps and

All camps should be surrounded with trip wires

Ok I know I am laughing this up but Polar bears can be Man Eaters and I feel that I should also follow these steps;

Another good solution is to have a revolving guard system,

Seri0usly this is vital reading……..

BFG

Hey maw, while scaring the bear away, I hurt ma showlder…

“A high powered big game rifle (calibre .308 win, 30-06 or heavier) is the best weapon for protection against polar bears, and hunting cartridges with expandable lead core bullets are the only recommended ammunition. The only alternative weapon is a pump action shotgun with rifled slugs (calibre 12); such a weapon must be able to accommodate at least four cartridges in the magazine.”

To expand on the tripwire deal: “In Svalbard, a system where the wire is connected to a flare (that explodes and burns with a bright light) is most frequently used.”

“If forced to shoot a polar bear, aim at the chest or the shoulder.” Included next to a picture… This shit is serious!

Polar Bears

That is a pretty amazing read… Quite an indepth guide on how to keep yourself safe from polar bears. The trip mines er wires and and the exploding shells were quality. The picture of the man with his hand up a polar bear was NOT!

I’m with n0mad – this is required reading for all IPX. It is gold!
