>>1042265>i don't spend time in bear countrylol. i just got back from 5 days backpacking in the sierra with just 1 other person. i carried neither guns nor spray. my cousin just got back from 4 days solo. no guns or spray on him either. but load up however you feel comfortable.
re: you're other examples, i'm also a rock climber and live 20 minutes from the ocean. but bikers are faggots. :)
