Did "Survivor Man" Les Stroud Have an Encounter?
From his own Blog:
Alaska
Day 5 - Late
Evening
Well……no luck with the net yet. But
I’ll leave it out and hope for some action during the next high tide. Same goes
for fishing with a line and hook. I went out in the kayak fishing for over an
hour, but nothing bit. I did get out to ‘bounty bay’ for some more foraging,
which keeps my spirits up. Tonight I even managed to make a short grass matt to
sleep on and a hammock chair out of an old fishing net to hang on.
The strangest thing happened tonight when
I was making my grass matt. All of a sudden a deep and very loud grunting noise
from about fifty yards away in the bush brought me to my feet and put the hairs
up on the back of my neck. It repeated four times and I have to say
sounded…..wait for it….just like a large gorilla! No, I’m not kidding. Hopefully
I’m not losing it! But I swear. That’s what it sounded like. Not like a bear at
all. Like a big gorilla.
I will assume it was a bear though – a mother
warning her cubs about my presence. But still…..it will be an interesting sleep
tonight!
Day 6 - Night
No more strange noises last night.
Guess I will never know....
