When I go camping I bring spray for the wildlife and a .45 ACP pistol for the humans. What makes camping out there great is also what makes it dangerous.
I've got no objection to the pistol, but what is the likelihood of being murdered camping alone in the middle of the woods like this guy was?
I camp alone fairly frequently. Usually the worst people I met are hipsters who can’t get their alchy stoves working for morning coffee and smell the perc.
No. Im not sharing. (The coffee. They can use the fire too,)
About as high as being mauled by a bear (assuming you took the standard precautions). Highly unlikely but also non-zero.
Significantly higher than zero, apparently
Higher yes, significantly not necessarily.

The body was found in a tent. Not much time to protect yourself when you're asleep.
C’mon, the bear closed the tent flap?
Bears be polite like that!
I always slept with my S&W Governor
.40 here. Better not come up on my tent in the night unannounced.
Manners says you always announce yourself entering a campsite. It's like going aboard a ship.
Is this not normal?
Must be stressful to live so paranoid.
Interesting comment under an article about a guy hacked to death in his tent... Yeah, I'm just paranoid🙄
Hahaha I said words
