Bear grills?

It is Tuesday morning and we were leaving the lake area. This doesn't mean we're out of bear country at all! Although Tim is desperate to see a bear, he has also armed himself with his Swiss Army Knife. Now, as this was unusual to have this in his belt, one wonders if in fact he is a little more concerned than making out.

He has been practising the art of drawing the knife out life in a wild west duel. The problem is the knife is in a velcro-fastened leather pouch, so in order to protect himself and me (of course) from any bear, he would have to take the following steps...

1. Notice the bear with his eyes and allow his brain to catch up
2. Reach to his back with his right hand and pull the fastening leather flap up
3. Hold back the leather so it doesn't drop down again with his finger and thumb
4. Use his three remaining fingers to pull the Swiss Army Knife out of the pouch
5. Bring the knife round to where he can see it
6. Use his left hand to find the knife and pull it out of its place
7. Point it out towards the bear
8. Try to scare the bear by waggling it in  front of him

At the last timed attempt on this, he managed 3 mins 45 secs.

Most of that spent on number 1.
