Won't swim in the ocean or walk in the woods alone
Basically because I'm afraid of the animals that live in those environments that can eat me.
Jaws scared the crap out of me and since then I've not gone swimming in the ocean in waters deeper than chest high. I figure if a shark is around, I may be able to get to shallower waters fast enough so it can't get me.
I haven't gone hiking or mtn biking in the woods alone since a biker in NorCal was eaten by a cougar. The guy was taller than I but theory was that he may have been croutched at the time tending to his equipment when the cat attacked. If a mtn lion wants you, I don't think you will escape unscathed.
The chances of running into a shark or cougar may be slim but I'm portly and juicy so therefore pretty good eating. Why ring the dinner bell, right? Or am I being extremely paranoid?
