>>156025If you had heart problems, then you won't be going into the woods. If you did have heart problems and you needed a defib, then you probably won't make it out of the woods even with a defib.
If you went into the woods with wild animals who are prone to attack, the gun will help you potentially survive it to get out of the woods. If there are no animals who attack, then you're carrying around 2lbs insurance or fucking worthless deadweight, up to you.
>>156026You shouldn't carry an axe, carry a knife and baton instead.
>>156027A person going into bear country is more likely to die from a bear attack than from a heart attack, unless the person also had heart problems and decided to go into bear country into a den, then the percentages could flux depending on the conditions.
>>156032Satellite phones are useful, but the cost of rescue would be more than the gun. Plenty of people bring emergency phones and call up helicopters for bottled water. Some people prefer to be self sufficient, and I contend that the people who bring a gun would also carry a small first aid kit, instead of a satellite phone to call a helicopter to scare off some cougars.
>>156059They aren't, that's why a lot of people don't carry guns when they hike, does this mean that carrying a gun should be illegal -- I personally don't think so. If you don't want to be attacked by animals, don't hike at all, is that something you would prefer the government to instate instead?
>>156198Why do you need a knife, why not carry a small saw? Why carry a knife, when you can use trauma scissors, are you planning on stabbing people?
Why do you need a knife or a gun when you're a rapist, aren't you raping people weaker than you? What does mouth breathing or the subculture of redneck have to do with carrying a gun into the woods, I thought rednecks don't hike since they're fat?
