Ghost Tracker, at that particular time in my life, I would have had a 22 revolver with me. I think you did good. I don't care what other people think. You could have killed him on the spot. You didn't.
I know about Eastern KY. Pot patches, some stills still around, and now meth labs. The smart meth cooker does it out in the woods. I do wish they would get rid of their trash. Anyone out in the woods needs to pay attention (situational awareness) and I carry every time I am out in the woods. You don't do goofy stuff like Bear Grylis. You're careful as there is nobody around to help you. There are more dangers than 2-legged ones. Some slither on the ground and others have 4-legs. However, the 4-legged variety are generally the least of your worries.
My only encounters have been in Eastern KY. I have had guns pointed at me, scared at times, and learned the kind of places you don't go. But overall, I love that country!
As far as National Parks go, I will be armed if I'm more than a 1/2 mile off the main highway. National Forests... always armed. Trips to the grocery store, seldom armed.
