Also I'm gonna be drawing the new Loading Artist comic on twitch when this post is about 10 hours old. So if you happen to remember in 10 hours and have literally nothing better to do, why not come by and distract me

  1. Do not be in their territory, near their homes

  2. Make Eye Contact

  3. Slowly back away, if possible arm yourself with a nearby long sturdy object such as a decently sized stick

  4. Do not be surrounded

  5. If approached, raise the stick and make noise. They are not afraid of the stick, but they should be because it is very effective and immune to bleeding unlike your arms or legs.

Generally wolves are more afraid of you than vice versa, but it's not impossible for them to identify you as food or have learned aggressive behavior. The idea here is to make yourself difficult to eat without risk of injury, and they will therefor give up and leave.

Why do you think we made it this long?

Pretty much all of this applies to surviving a crackhead attack, too. Don't make eye contact though. It provokes them.

It works for most animals, but cocained up predators have a high pain resistance which lessens the effectiveness of the stick.
