Love the accompanying photo. America does have much more violent weather than Europe: the majority of all tornadoes in the world, plus huge numbers of hurricanes (which are completely unrelated things), hailstorms, and radical shifts of temperature like you can't believe: I remember reading about the difficulty in creating a memorial for the Alfred E Murrah bombing victims in Oklahoma, because several proposed media couldn't take the sudden drop of about more than forty degrees that can happen when ice falls from the sky in the middle of a 40-degree Celsius heat wave.

Honestly true. I live in the northeast where I can drive an hour to a beach, to a major city, to ski, to hike... etc. And we have few major natural disasters, have four seasons, and though it varies slightly, it is pretty evenly divided in the year. It really is a great place to live and I take for granted how much we actually have here.

So true. If you have hesitation, remember that statistic about how many guns there are compared to people here...

I am sure the Australian outback is much the same

Apparently there's a highway going from Ontario to Florida. Along a stretch in North Carolina there are US police pulling over Canadians and giving them excessively high tickets for bogus reasons and make the driver go to court to dispute but end up paying in the end. There's a theory that the police are scamming foreign travellers to get more money.

Warning appreciated, but not necessary. I'm from Australia. We have birds that can kick you to death.

I thought not messing with any wildlife was common sense, but then again...

Arizona here, it’s a desert. Don’t go hiking in the beautiful mountains here in the summer. You will die.

In the Tetons I watched a busload of Asian tourists unload and they all ran up to a moose cow with twin calves. Luckily no one was hurt and I can laugh about it now because the chaos was glorious to behold.

Honestly, I feel if you don't know this, then, well, the human race is better off without you in the gene pool. Natural selection at work.

The Grand Canyon is a high desert on top and a low desert on the bottom. Bring water! It is easier to go downhill than uphill. Do not stand on the edge unless you have the ability to fly.

Follow the National Park Service page on Instagram - it's both hilarious and informative.

Also stop trying to feed the wildlife. Saw a lady actually throw water in the face of a baby elk in Yellowstone that wouldn't drink out of her hands. The poor baby was surrounded by tourists who were very lucky mama didn't decide to intervene.

Don't come within 25 feet of the wildlife. They weren't asked if they wanted to become tourist attractions

If a bison wants to have its picture taken with you, it will say so.

" There are large numbers and wide ranges of brown bears in: Finland Romania Sweden Estonia Bulgaria Other countries you might be surprised to learn have bears in Europe are: Spain Italy France Polar bears in Norway"

We see tourists have to be rescued all the time hiking or driving through flooded washes in Phoenix/Arizona. It's gotten so bad that now we have stupid people laws (one is literally named the "stupid motorist law"). If you have to be rescued for doing some dumb $hit, you pay the cost of the EMTs' time, the cost of the ambulance or helicopter that rescued you, + your hospital bill. And in America, that'll bankrupt anyone.

It's a crime. Guybtried to help a bison calf return to a herd. They rejected the calf. Park rangers had to put it down and charged the person with a crime. Happened at Yellowstone

Do NOT pet the fluffy cows!

Almost every year, we lose a few tourists in Death Valley NP. They're usually European tourists. Guys, summer is not the time to visit the Mojave Desert. It's not just that it gets super hot there, it's that it IS super hot there. Every day. For the entire summer.

Reminds of the poor French family that went to visit White Sands and only the boy survived. They didn't bring enough water it seems.

Sweet Mother Mary, this is SO true. I've watched, with my own eyes, as tourists try to get friendly with the wildlife in Yellowstone, and paid a price.
