So when he goes out into the woods, the Czech is in the maille...
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

no, just delt with dogs in the past and know when they decide to come after you a bullet beats mail.....call it experience.... to each his own, I never attacked you, why are you attacking me didnt realize i was attacking, just trying to interject a dose of reality.....stupid to wear mail while hiking, its steel and your gonna sweat.....steel, water and salt is not a good combination amoung other reasons this is a piss poor idea......easier to just pack a gun......

Polska, I think you may be onto something great here. Man, wish I would have been the one to come up with such a unique idea. You brew one up, come on out to Montana, and I'll see if Sam Olson will help me to get you face to face with a smallish grizz. I will be glad to run the camcorder.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

As I recall Polska the last time you got all pissy here you invited folks to upstate NY if they wanted to settle matters... Right? So it begs the question... There that many wolves and cougars in upstate NY?

This thread is kind of funny! I wonder how many have ever seen the metal car doors just peeled right off a car or truck by a bear wanting to get inside that vehicle?
How many have ever seen a fight between a grizzly bear and a mature bull elk? I saw a small grizzly (300-lbs) strattle a bull elk after he killed it and walk off into the thick brush dragging like a horse would a roped calf. Now that elk weighed at least 750 lbs folks.

Grizzly bears are not something I have or want to spend much time around. I looked one in the eye once across a single wire electric fence, and it brought a realization into my mind about the food chain that is still there.
We're number two.

i've been studying how to make chainmaille just as a hobby, I'm wondering if riveted chainmaille with thick rings could provide decent defense in a fight with a cougar or wolf or small bear... I think there teeth and claws would break on the steel? just something to think about. Even if a brown bear got you down the steel would atleast prevent him from ripping you apart.. althought it would leave nasty bruises, i'd rather have bruises then deep cuts. with the large bears it aint just bruises, still gonna break bones and can still rip your arm off.....unreal the amount of damage that can be done even without teeth breaking skin...have heard the bite force of a large griz is 1800psi.....chain mail will not cushion you from that...... I think you'd have the same problem with cats chewing on your neck. What you need is the full suit of rigid armour, not chain mail.

I could get the chain to go around my neck and and bend some sheet metal into a small collar, fold over the edges so it's not sharp and attach it to the maille. But if the maille is welded properly I doubt the cougars teeth would go thru. steel vs. tooth... steel wins

If a grizz gets a hold of you you will be...grin Well no armor can stop a grizz from killing you nless you are in armored vehicle. Thats when a self destruct device comes into play hahaha. When that [bleep] is chewing on me i'll blow myself and him up... just kidding. But its always good to leave one bullet for yourself... i'd rather blow myself up or shoot myself If I know I have no chance of fighting the bear off or if I know he's a maneather... better then be eaten alive
