>>1388499Not a big one, but I do keep a .38 with me for those nights my campsite is a bit too close to a trailhead. The only ones to really worry about are the druggies and the crazies - the druggies are in the woods looking for a place to shoot up and pass out, the crazies are on some kind of mission. Druggies will murder you out of opportunity to steal a fucking $10 flashlight, crazies don't mean harm but they get agitated easily and will murder you because they just got confused.
A couple of teens beat a guy's head in with a baseball bat in the town I live in, while the guy was asleep. Trail went near the kids' neighborhood so stalking it at night was their thing.
