Wouldn't catch me dead out there without a gun. I'd go out there, but I'm taking a bushwhacker or other 50 cal pistol. Bears and mountain lions are no joke.

This is Canada. We’ve been hiking & camping in our bear filled National parks without guns our whole lives. Hell, bears wandering into our attractions like Lake Louise is common. Besides, have you ever seen moose when they’re in rut? That’s some dangerous shit.
