for those that go out with 5 rounds or less in pocket and gun combined , are you rethinking your round count if there are rabid bears?

Starting to think about belt fed....

Is there a reason why rabies shots are so ridiculously expensive over there? Here, a box of 5 rabies vaccine doses costs $25 (few pharmacies carry it, nevertheless it's available). You can get the post-exposure shots for free in any state clinic 24/7, or pay something like $100 to 150 for the whole series of shots to have it done in a comfortable private clinic (regardless of whether you're a Russian citizen or not). You can also get pre-exposure shots for free, but this usually requires setting up an appointment and a short wait.

not the first one or the last one to be found.
as a scavenger of dead animals it is just a matter of time for bears

I have read that the rabies virus in a dead animal does not survive once the carcass has cooled to ambient temperature. If so, scavenging seems an unlikely source for bears, wolves, ect to contract rabies.
