Was talking about this with my partner while on a hike, they think they couldn’t take ni more than 8 While I said I thought i could take at least 30. No weapons, just you and the squirrels.

    Do infections count as a loss? If I get an infection from one and die, does that mean I couldn’t take them on? Also, is it one at a time or all of them coming at me.

    I could probably take down two, but when the third enters the picture I’m toast

    I checked with hubs too and he thinks he could handle forty while wearing jeans and good boots

    I would use my human strengths and lure them out in waves by speed walking/jogging into middle of fields or similar open areas. regardless I would get them away from trees or other things they could use to jump down onto me. once I level their attacks to the ground, there I would kick and stomp my way to an endurant victory as they’d surely use some energy to escape where hopeful other predators are there to claim there symbiotic prize.

    This strategy would likely work against 10-20 at a time. a few waves of them before I am cut down. guessing / hoping for 100 but probably only make it to 50.

    if I really got into a squirrel stomping rhythm I bet I could get triple digits.

    ok I’ve now given too much thought to this today. edit: now I’m picturing listening to slayer’s war ensemble and just thrashing squirrels around like a mosh pit of guts and chaos.

    My teeth are terrifying weapons, chrrrr!!

    😄

    In a fight to death, my only problem would be that I get tired from the fighting, sooner or later. And then they could do some real harm.

    On the other hand, I assume that they are not smart enough to apply any special tactics that make use of this, or of their large number (coordinated action etc.)

    So I would trust myself against maybe 50 of them.

    While I’m pretty good with animals, I think I could only convince maybe two of them to come with me in a fight to the death. But I think that’d be enough of a surprise against the other guy.
