With 30 minutes of preparation, the user known as Kleptin could feasibly vanquish a grizzly bear

N.TACTICS: 1) Even if we are to agree to the notion that the bench pressing skill would be useless here, my opponent forgets that the"well capable" part is certainly important as it exist to insure that climbing trees isn't an obstacle for Kleptin . . . Meaning that if a strength increase is necessary for these trees to be climbed, we must assume that Kleptin does in fact have the strength. 2)CON says that he'd be unable to propel himself in the air by relying on the method I listed, however, this would be a very simple process. In order to maintain himself in the air, he'd merely have to wrap both of his legs around the tree itself each time he moved the knife in order to gain additional leverage. Of course, thanks to the parameters, we must also note that Kleptin would be able to do this quite well. 3) CON tries to bypass his extraordinary tree climbing skills by pointing out that my parameters simply insure that he is capable of climbing trees. However, the term "well" exist for a reason. As already mentioned, it is to insure that tree climbing isn't an obstacle for Kleptin. Furthermore, the parameters say nothing about a a typical tree. Rather, it just says well capable of climbing trees PERIOD, thus we are to assume that every kind of tree is being taken into consideration. Finally, if you'll note the above, I've already shown that Kleptin has all he needs in order to climb the tree. RE 4: CON first states that I've claimed he could ask a park guide, but if you'll look back to my previous point, you'll note that I've stated this nowhere, hence strawman. I claimed that Kleptin could get a park guide (paper that illustrates the areas of the entire park) and this does not require outside aid given that park guides are free and easily accessible to anyone who happens to step foot into a lodge house or a hotel or a visitor center. Furthermore, he and I agreed that the fighting area consisted of Yellowstone national park. If I recall correctly, Lodge houses, park guides/map are all within Yellowstone national park, thus my opponent's objection is to be dismissed without hesitation. Lodge Houses (and hotels): http://www.travelyellowstone.com... , http://www.yellowstoneparknet.com..., http://www.nps.gov... And on the off chance one park guide pamphlet couldn't not be picked up in either a lodge house or a hotel, it would be guaranteed to be found inside one of many visitor centers. RE: by asking the audience to dismiss my notion of a bear running much faster than a human. I understand what CON is getting at, but with the arguments I am using, there is not a single instance where he would be placed into the position where he'd have to outrun the bear, hence there is no need to debate the possibility and no need to weigh this into voting decision. RE: my opponent's proposal that I simply wait in the lodge house until the bear leaves violates the usage of resources other than the ones stated. Lodge houses being located in Yellowstone park is indisputable. RE: waiting in the lodge house until the bear leaves is also a violation. He claims that my lodge house strategy ought to be rejected on the grounds that it would allow him more prep time, however, it is made rather clear that the prep time was the amount of time there was before the battle began. Even CON acknowledges this or else he would have objected to my prior arguments on the grounds that the bear would have attacked him before he started climbing a tree or searching for poisonous vermin. And if you'll examine the merits of his objection, you should note that it would technically apply to any situation after the 30 minutes of preparation before the battle officially begins. After all, what CON is merely claiming is that having the opportunity to plan further than he has in the initial 30 minutes would be against the rules, however, this absurd because unless his brain is somehow going to be turned off, there is no way that any additional thoughts or observations won't reach his mind, thus not allowing him to think about his actions while battling the bear. RE: VITAL SPOTS PROBLEM: 1) It must be noted that the vital spots argument was being used in conjunction with the argument that Kleptin was able to latch him onto the bear in the illustrated position which would render the bear unable to harm him. Wrapping his arms around the bears, wrapping his legs around it's waist (or it's chest. It really makes no difference) would place him in a secure position which would enable him to easily be in range of the bear's head. 2) Nowhere did I claim that Kleptin would be puncturing the bear's skull. My claim was that he'd use the knife to puncture the bears eyes and the inject the knife far enough to puncture the bear's brain. This would not involve piercing any bones. 3) Slicing the neck is indeed feasible as I am arguing it to be the case in a situation where the bear cannot fight back. RE: PLAYING DEAD DOESN'T WORK http://www.ehow.com... RE: KLEPTIN DOESN'T LIKE ANIMAL CRUELTY This argument is irrelevant on the basis that this is a debate that concerns whether or not he could feasibly vanquish the bear (whether or not he could do it). Whether or not he'd actually want to do is a different story. Also applicable to the "time to think of ideas' claim. RE: Kleptin IS TOO SMALL He claims that my video depicts a rather healthy and robust man, but this is hardly the case at all. If you examine the video, you shall note nothing "extraordinary" about the size of the people (one who is just a typical woman). They all depict individuals of average build at best. As for the muscle mass, the technique does not rely on it, so that won't be a problem. RE: THREE EXAMPLES OF MAN BEATING BEARS DON'T COUNT: 1) The dog did not serve as a distraction, granted the dog came from BEHIND his master, only to attack the bear who was in front of him. Thus, both the master and the dog were in plain site. This would have to mean that the bear had ample opportunity to detect this so-called sneak attack (as CON phrases it). If a dog in plain sight is all that is necessary to "sneak up" on a bear, just imagine what someone with 30 minutes of prep could do. 2) Bear had surpirse 3) The story indicates that the bullets had no effect on the bear as the bear kept charging while unfazed. In addition, this is yet again an example of the bear being easily susceptible to distraction. FIRE IS KLEPTIN'S BEST FRIEND (best method): Upon getting inside the lodge house, Kleptin could look for some flammable materials (preferably a gas tank, assuming one is inside the lodge house or, in which case, Kleptin would either have to remove or make an elaborate flammable trail leading to it) and/or wait for the bear to make it to the lodge house. Kleptin could leave a snack or a tasty meat product 10-20 feet away from the door. Either that, or he could simply cut himself, take off his shirt and stain the shirt with his blood and leave it in the aforementioned location if snacks or treats could not be find (which is doubtful). In any case, after doing this, Kleptin could leave the door to the house wide open and allow the bear to come inside. While the bear is distracted by the food or the blood stained shirt, Kleptin could quickly escape the lodge house and close the door shut. Essentially, the bear would be trapped in the lodge house. If Kleptin managed to create a flammable trail to a gas tank which was inside, the rest of the plan is cake as Kleptin could simply take his time igniting the flammable materials the old fashioned way(clashing rocks, etc). Or Kleptin could simply burn the lodge house down the other old fashioned way, only it would take longer and he'd have to gather some extra materials (using gas from gas stations in p
