Yeah they could snap me like a twig! It's a scary thing to think about. I reckon even a non aggressive close up encounter would be really weird.thehairyone wrote: Wed May 08, 2019 4:06 pm Thanks YB, ive often thought about it , but if it ever happens I think I would keep my eyes down , I know apes etc don't like eye contact , and slowly back away whilst talking to them , when I have talked to them in the past feelings of dread seem to pass , in saying this I go out by myself a lot both for day trips and overnight and ive never felt threatened , even when I know they are about , maybe they know I mean no harm or they know they could crush me like a worm if they want , im hoping the first choice

I think they would definitely take an interest in whoever is hanging out in their area and giving them a good sussing out before they revealed themselves in any way.
It is all so weird. I really don't want to feel that "dread" or have a bad experience but we can't pick and choose what happens unfortunately.
Sure is nice to get out and get some lovely fresh air and keep fit though. Hiking and camping i mean, not running from the hairys!
