Authorities in Montana say a 911 caller discovered his friend dead in a tent in what appeared to have been a fatal bear attack — but officials soon discovered the camper was actually the victim of a brutal murder.
Dustin Kjersem, 35, was found dead in his tent on Saturday morning along Moose Creek Road north of Big Sky, Montana, Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer said at news conference Wednesday. A friend who was supposed to have met Kjersem went searching for him when he didn’t show up as scheduled on Friday.
The friend ultimately discovered Kjersem’s body in a tent at a makeshift campsite and called 911, telling responders the death appeared to have been caused by a bear attack, the sheriff’s office said.
I’ve got no objection to the pistol, but what is the likelihood of being murdered camping alone in the middle of the woods like this guy was?
About as high as being mauled by a bear (assuming you took the standard precautions). Highly unlikely but also non-zero.
I camp alone fairly frequently. Usually the worst people I met are hipsters who can’t get their alchy stoves working for morning coffee and smell the perc.
No. Im not sharing. (The coffee. They can use the fire too,)

Significantly higher than zero, apparently
Higher yes, significantly not necessarily.
