Which is more important,Physical strength or Mental strength?

Strength is over rated...I prefer flexibility ...

Mentally flexible ...physically flexible.

Reeds bending in the wind...survive and grow.

Strong oaks that snap when the pressure is on...fall and die.

I really like it when flexible ones can bend over backwards and hook their feet behind their head until I am done.

:)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha
You really are such an arrogant M but extremely funny nonetheless

mental of course!

The brain is the most powerful weapon we have!

Mental.

If you lose physical strength, you need mental strength to figure out a new ways to accomplish the things you can't physically do anymore. If you lose mental strength, it won't matter whether you have physical strength or not, you won't be able to accomplish what you need to accomplish regardless.

Mental too . I support it

For myself I would like a equal mixture.

i think all the equally mixture not good at taste to drink :-)

I haven't even started on the arrogance thing...I don't want to make the little people feel bad.

God help us all when someone is stupid enough to start an "arrogant bastard" thread...cause I will rip it a brand new butt hole.

Teehee

:)

You're tempting me now ...

It's a good hobby!

Yowzahhhh!!!!

Physical strength doesn't mean a thing without mental strength, that's
just a glass tiger to me,and their will can be broken, "believe it and
you can accomplish it".
Not long ago I was traveling to camp along the Alaska HWY in northern
British Columbia and broke down so I decided to hitch hike in to Camp
for work in the morning,I got to the 95 mile junction and it was 11:30pm,I was tied and it was getting cold so I figured I go light a fire. I dragged a big duffel bag with my work gear up a steep bank
another bag with my spare saw and a large backpack, due to the weight
and grade of the bank, it took three trips, taking the heaviest last.
when I got to the bushline on the last trip I could smell a strong
smell,obviously a bear that I spoked upwind that may had
been circling around as all bears are curious.
The first trip I went in and made a lot of noise
and scouted out a good spot with deadfall (firewood).
It was mandatory to have bear awareness training on the
particular job I was going to.
I stopped for a second at the bushline and then thought I'm tired and cold and the bear is just going to have to go elsewhere,it was "fight or flight" and considering my circumstance I wasn't in the mood to
move so I entered in the dark making as much noise as I could talking in a deep firm voice telling it to move on.I went to the area I scouted
earlier and lit a fire,stomping some bigger pieces of
wood Making all kinds of noise.
I wasn't that worried about the bear once I decided to
go In as they attack for 2 reasons and that's territorial
or preditorial, and in this case it would have most likely happened
as territorial attacks would usually start with jar chomping, grunting
and bluff charging with heavy front feet stomping,that's not so fun, we
chased one up the hill once trying to recover my co workers back pack
that a bear dragged off, but he kept bluff charging back then pounding
its feet on the grounds we found the pack under a big spruce tree
and we backed off then moments later we seen the young bear
stand up from under the low sprue bows, mad, as he realized we took it back,the bear disappears again and stands up with D.... coffee mug in
his paws, head back watching us and licking it.we put forth the effort
to get his bag back because the dummy brought his wallet to the bush??
there's only one kind of money in the bush and that's "bushmoney" or
Aka toilet paper,he yells out "he's got my coffee cup" so I said
"well go get it then" lol,we called in the helicopter and flew back.

One story leads into another,so back at the fire I'm all warm thinking
I'll get some sleep then get on the road about 5:30 am when trucks will
be starting to move,I had a toque on when I got there so I was looking
for it on the ground under a dimming firelight I moved my back pack
that I had been laying back on, from against the tree and saw something
black up against the tree and went to pick it up and I realized what it was immediately, I flicked my lighter only to confirm it was bear droppings and the only time you will see big piles up against a tree
in one area is when you come across a bear den....huh,maybe I won't
go to sleep,it didn't look like black bear chit that would be full of
berries.
I wanted to go but where an I going to go? across the street?
I'm burning a fire in its den,I was pretty nervous at that point
thinking ,won't be sleeping tonight.
I pulled out my spare chainsaw that didn't have a muffler on it,
hoping it had a little gas in it,I fired it up for a few seconds
a couple of times then stoked the fire and slept like a baby.

I woke up, warmed up, put the fire out,got a ride right away
and went to work.
A few days ago a was doing some Danger tree assessing so I wouldn't
have my saws and would be by myself,I was offered bear spry but I said
me and the bears are good and if its my time its my time! I'm good with
that,besides I'm more afraid of the squirrels...because they're after
me nuts.
I live in Canada "we make toques,not nukes"!yeah That's right I don't
have a gun.

So many great replies & I had 2 beers reading pony's! Get a gun in those woods dude..

Physical strength is good as long as you have the mental strength to control it.

Wonderful :-)
Yikes! BC!

Well said,its bin my experience through life that
most big powerful men are very layed back,not the type to
go looking,that's a good thing.
Two beers? Fluck..you can sure suck 'em back eh, or are you embellishing

Well I'm not, well I really don't think the squirrels are after me
nuts. ..that was just a jk.
Well a gun might not be such a bad idea,I am aloud to own one.

{{{HI Soufie }}}

I hope you guys are still enjoying some nice weather down there
the north is strange and cruel by the way that history I just told
was 14 days ago. We were all sent home on that job for 5 days as
the fire index was extreme for to many days in a row and the morning
we got rain it was also snowing just at mile 300 on the Alaska HWY

Ha ha, I could've had 3 beers in that time Journeyman, but im working on a roof just now. So i'll just have to wait 4 hours ( 5pm UK time ) til I can hit the pub my friend!
