How do the Scandinavians do recess? Surely they do and they don't have a magic no polar bear fence. These are solved problems.

Yes. They solve it by shooting the polar bears.

Obviously there's more to it than that. The literal government website you linked requires non lethal means to be carried.

Yes. When they're not near a settled area. This should be fucking obvious.

Still waiting for you to provide evidence that there were no other houses around. Or are you going to repeat "summer home" again as if it's the Unabomber's shack in the woods when the weather is warm?
