What a play callEdit norv is that you <| sep |> Camping in the off season on Victoria Island , BC , Canada on my way to Tofino I stopped at a near empty camping ground , with my pick of the litter for a site . Naturally , I picked the most secluded one , pitched my tent and made a fire . In the middle of the night I am awoken by a strange , wholly unfamiliar sound . I gaze through hazy eyes out of the screen of my tent and see a huge snout inhaling the scent of my leather boots , which were tucked under the rain flap . I froze , the only thing moving on my person was my heart , which was audibly pumping at 200 BPM . I didn ' t know what to do , so I ran my hand down the opposite side of the tent , which made enough noise to startle the bear which bolted immediately . Spent the rest of the night in the car .
