What the shit were they hunting and what possible benefit could this serve? Do you just sneak up on your quarry and throw yourself at it?

Story time!

In Houston, TX at the Menil Collection, in the Surrealist hall there is a room called witnesses to surrealists, or something like that. It's basically a bunch of really cool stuff that important surrealist artists owned or were inspired by in some way. Really neat stuff.

Standing in that room, is this suit, or a suit very similar to it. Always kind of creeps me out when I see it but it's so cool.

/They have an exhibit running now inspired by John Cage's 4'33, the famous piece where the performers are instructed to stay silent and the piece becomes about the enveloping silence and awkwardness of the audience. It is said on the night it was premiered the sound of rain on the roof of the concert hall mixed beautifully with the impatience of the audience.

So, there's that.

When you hunt, you dont use a weapon, you ARE the weapon. Run towards your target as fast as you can.

Makes sense to me, after all, "In Soviet Russia, bear hunts YOU" had to be true a hundred years prior too.

What the hell kind of bears used to live in Siberia?

Is this for hunting siberians, or siberian hunting?

I feel like this would be really uncomfortable to hunt in.

I mean, spikes all over yourself? It kind of resembles Slipknot...

How is this creepy?

during a battle, he should hold up a sign saying "Free Hugs". that would kill.

massaikosis · 2 months

This is where the term "bear hug" comes from. The hunter, wearing this and otherwise unarmed, would find a bear and hug it. Bear dies. Hunt successful. True story
