Quoted By:
I've caught dozens of mountain lions on my trail cams. I've heard them calling in the distance. I've never seen one IRL. I have a knife on me. But it's more for cutting through vines and thin branches than personal protection. I'm not at all concerned with encountering a mountain lion. You're 100x more likely to be injured in a vehicle accident than you are to encounter much less have be attacked by a mountain lion.
