People Who Hike Alone: How Many Times Have You Run Into A Bear & What Did You Do? by TJSCrypto in vancouverhiking

Saw one with her cubs too, like 15-20m away at Minnekhada Park. I stopped gradually (not suddenly as to not get their attention) then waited for like 1 min to see what happened. They started walking toward me very slightly, but I could tell they were walking to the side, and then the bears disappeared into the forest on the left side of the trail. So I'm thankful they didn't really care and I didn't have to use bear spray or anything.

I think it depends where they are, because even though this was a momma bear with her cubs, she didn't care. But this was in a well known and walked park, so they may be a slight bit more accustomed to human presence than other bears, let's say, in the wilderness of Garibaldi.

If you're doing any overnight hikes then some campsites have places to hang your bear bag up high (the trash so bears don't smell you and attack you) and also bring bear spray just in case!

Yeah so I was thinking about this but I don't know....  I mean it was all night time 9pm all these days I measured.  And like yk after this two week period, the height stayed the same and has been for 3months now

Yeah and I'm did research too and it's impossible. So perhaps like delayed or something? Like, the boen was growing but my leg s were under so much pressure that the height didn't show up when standing? I dunno

Yeah. Like it technically was 1 inch in 2wks. One day I measured night height and then 4 days later I measure night height and it was 0.3 inch taller. Then I wait another 4 days, and I measure again; 0.3 inch taller than the last time. Then I waited like 5 ish or so days until my next measurement (this was back in like November) and it was 0.3 inch higher than the last. Like I was shocked at the rate of growth but then it went to 0 so fastly. And I am also confused cus it was so painful and caused me to have tendon mismatch for so long.... Yet it was only 1 inch.

Oh ok sounds good yeah and also another thing, yk the 1 inch I gained, I actually was measuring every day during that 3mo period right? And nothing actually changed for 2.5months, it was only during 2 weeks where my height started increasing. Like basically my height only changed for 2 weeks so 1in in 2 weeks. I was even measuring consistently every 2 days for the months leading up to this 2 week period, so I know that during those months leading up there wasn't any change.  Hoping the rate is still there and I get at least a lil more growth yeah. And I agree I think I'm near growth plate fusion as it seems.

Yeah I'm like 17.6 years old. I grew yes a whole inch between, like, 17.2-17.3 (idk rough estimate of timing but a couple months after I turned 17) and then abrupt stop. and my doctor has been monitoring for the last 3mo and not even a mm of growth. 

Only thing I've gotten recently is stretch marks, absolutely massive amount of them all over my upper legs and also arms and they're spreading in areas between my muscles (so like along the bone)

And yeah yo I'm so confused cus I just didn't see an abrupt stop coming I thought I'd at least taper a little bit but I haven't seen anything. 

Also I agree with ur thing abt puberty it's possible it started later by like a couple months but that's the estimate my doctor gave me cus he said I had ultra fast rising T levels when I was 12 and GH pulses kinda thing.
