Context? XXXIII

Heard one recent early morning from an AM radio talk show host: "They're not so friendly when you're lost in the woods."

Was the host referring to big, bad wolves?  Hermits who claim the woods for themselves?  A college alumni association that finds you even in the wilderness and wears down your steadfast refusal to join because the state and various wealthy benefactors already fund the university?  Actually, upon doubling back to the station, I learned he was talking about grizzly bears.

Grudgingly, I'll concede that the most pedestrian answer is often the correct one.
