Wolves almost never attack people and on the rare occasion that they do, it's never because they want to eat them.

Wolves aren't the invincible deadly monsters you see in the movies. They can easily be fend off by an unarmed man. With a knife there's almost no chance of you dying unless you're retarded. Shit, if you're muscular you an even permanently injure them with a single kick. Most animals are defenseless against human strength. The only people who got killed by wolves were either sick, passed out, children or maybe elders.

This. There is just so many ways for a healthy adult male to chase away a pack of wolves its laughable. All you really have to do first is to not run away from them and never show your back to them and dont let them get behind you and you are good to go. Even running a bit towards them shouting and waving your hands around you can scare the little fuckers away. Bonus point if you have a torch. Just don't be a cowardly bitch and you will be fine.

A man can scare them off easily.

Wolves that have been in close contact with humans, and then were left on their own are reportedly a lot more likely to attack humans. Getting into any kind of relationship with wild wolves is irresponsible,.

wrong, see the wolfs of Paris

Northern gray wolves are team hunters when they do rarely hunt, and its enough to wound prey to bring it down. They have more crushing teeth and smaller canines, because they often feed from months old carrion and have to break bones to get to the marrow. They're also fatter/bigger to decrease surface area and reduce temperature loss.

Southern gray wolves are more solitary hunters, have longer canines and are smaller/leaner/quicker, because they depend on catching their prey whenever they're hungry. Something that dies in the south decomposes quickly because of temperature, so scavenging makes less sense. Don't expect southern gray wolves to be weaker than the northern cousins either, they can kill a easily kill a healthy young cow on their own while a northern gray wolf needs a pack to kill a sick calf.

These are some huge-ass animals, not something you can find around here. Wolves are half the size of these here, and while they can be scared away, Im not quiet sure Id be able to do the same with these you posted.

Bump for rare flag and wolf discussion.

This is where you fail. I would only be going for my tramontina AFTER exhausting myself of rifle ammo.

>implying i would kill them

>implying i wouldnt tame them and teach them to hunt niggers

no wonder you middle easterners always get your asses kicked in war, you have no creative ideas for fucking people and things up

Probably just one, but in the sense that I would have managed to wound it mortally through impalement. Beyond that, I could only assume they'd rush me all at once and take control of my extremities, at which point I'd be fucked. If I could get my fighting arm free in the struggle, I might be able to get some stabs in here and there.

Depends. Is it a regular Bowie knife or a David Bowie knife?

Cool story, I actually know a guy who is pretty much the only person to be attacked by a lone wolf ever. Was in the news and everything. It bit his head while he was camping with his girlfriend.

I contest that any non-handicapped adult male can take any single canine, armed or not. Against a pack, however, the key would be having your back to something and not getting surrounded. At that point, just stay on your feet and cut anything that gets too close until they move on to easier prey.

Make a torch and scare them away.

The dumb "they never retreat" is very dumb and unrealistic. If you said that they are insistent and always came back after being scared away I would play with you a little bit more.
