Seems to me like carrying a couple of those emergency CO2 powered boat horns might be a good idea whether you're hiking or just trying to sleep. In the recent bear attacks it seems that nobody shot a bear, beat on a bear but all were driven off by gunfire or lots of noise. If I ever get attacked I'm sure my screaming will just infuriate the damn bear and make him meaner. Stan Wilder Engine Ceramics 214-352-4931 www.engineceramics.com |
