I want to know why Maple Man has little ears? Sure everyone wants to be as awesome as Batman, I guess if you can go toe-to-toe with a grizzly bear and not get turned into a puddle of meat jello you can wear what you want?
I rememeber some supposedly verified encounter where this dude was jumped by a brown bear. Something like the guy stuck one hand down the bears throat so it couldn't bite him and couldn't breathe. The bear passes out and then the dude clubs it to death with a nearby branch.
Of course this was in Wyoming, and not somewhere in Canada... so plausible instead of 'The Revanent'
