Most people have said what they carry for bears in the woods, but how many of you would flout the law to carry a handgun for protection? What do you carry for all around protection and against what?
You all sound like a reasonable lot. Disreputable, but reasonable. I'd be interested in finding out how many of you carry a weapon, but for things other than bears? For example, for those of you who spend a fair amount of time in the woods, how many of you believe that BIGFOOT exists?
Also, have you guys ever heard of a fellow by the name of DAVID PAULIDES? He's a retired cop who looks into disappearances in the national parks. (And BTW, he's a big believer in Bigfoot!) He's been interviewed a lot on radio and his interviews, many of them, can be found on YouTube. If you've never heard him, you may want to give him a listen.) Have you ever been seriously spooked in the woods, or felt you were being watched?
Do you tend to go with high capacity automatic weapons or powerful 6-8-shot revolvers? And do you carry satellite locators with you? Do you tend to go alone when you hike or camp or do you generally go with others?
One of the weirdest things I ever saw was on the Skyline Drive trail in Virginia. I was resting when some guy come sauntering by me walking his cat, a silver tabby, much like my own. He nodded and the two of them were on their way! (And yes, the cat was on a leash, but he looked like it wasn't his first trip out.)
