I quickly tossed all my stuff back into the car and left pronto. I haven't carried pepper spray since a 2-month backpacking trip in Alaska 20 years ago in case of a grizzly bear encounter. I do sometimes worry about mountain lions when Andy goes on remote trail runs by himself.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-87999917017186372882012-02-10T07:54:32.315-08:002012-02-10T07:54:32.315-08:00If the areas aren't really all that safe, have...If the areas aren't really all that safe, have been known to have some shady people around, or just give you that bad feeling in your gut never go to them alone. I always think that it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared. <br /><br />I myself always carry pepper-spray with me wherever I go, and I mean that. It gives you a little extra confidence and can help you against someone or something out to harm you. Make sure to keep it within easy reach, too.<br /><br />Be safe on your adventures!Arrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239108078902169153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-17427762877825882272012-02-10T06:37:44.347-08:002012-02-10T06:37:44.347-08:00I've heard some horror stories about rat poiso...I've heard some horror stories about rat poison being used for certain, um, crops. I don't know if that's true or not. I don't hike by myself as much as I used to. I think it's more a matter of perception for me. I'm probably just as safe (or unsafe) as I ever was.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-47840884637734053002012-02-09T17:40:56.028-08:002012-02-09T17:40:56.028-08:00It is frustrating to have such illegal activities ...It is frustrating to have such illegal activities harm our natural lands and limit our ability to enjoy them.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378411362651806039noreply@blogger.com
