I spent several years camping and hiking alone in remote spots in the
Four Corners area of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.  I was
cautious and usually had some form of protection.  I love camping and
wasn't about to stay home because there was no one to camp with.  I
never had any trouble with the four-leggeds (a couple of benign bear
experiences during all that time) and only had one scare from
two-leggeds in a remote dead-end spot along the San Juan River that
eventually turned out OK.  Life is too short to stay at home!
