No bears at the Aussie base or anywhere in Antartica.Koala bears which are sort of like a racoon on valium on the mainland & they are protected. Probably taste like eucalyptus anyway

I think it might be time to bust out the fishing gear or get a food parcel from Tasmania. Japanese whalers in the 'hood maybe you could do a food swap. I assume the provisions on the anti whaling fleet lean towards tofu & lentils.

Shouldn't really shoot Bears anyway. They're pretty nice guys, and make pretty good smoked meat !!

There were about 40 seals out sunning themselves in the little cove by our base. It was truly amazing being this close to such beautiful animals.

We are eating like kings. Fillet Mignon, prime rib, crab legs, Salmon and all the normal stuff everyone else eats.

Sweet........ I would make a pig of myself with the crab legs..... People around me get scared they might get hurt when I eat them.... Shells and butter all over the walls, floors, windows and customers..lol

Enjoy

That is GREAT news!  If you want to keep people happy in a challenging environment, feed them well.  The best fed people in the Navy lurk far below the surface of the water.

Same here! One time I was cracking and eating so feverishly and my wife said "Slow down hon, for gods sakes you're bleeding!" lol Apparently the spikes on crab legs got me and I didn't even know it!
