>>2004557i dont, because im not a idiot that is listening to head phones during my hikes. I can hear the bears, and i even walk past them. I also talk outloud every now and than to make all the animals nearby know where i am. And i hike alone every year in Grand Teton, and I kayak on the Snake River. I once saw a mama bear and her cubs in the river with me. A gun wont save you anyways, if it is time to die your gonna die.
