Treasure finder said:Our most common problem in the southern Calif deserts is rattlesnakes. Pepper spray works just fine on them.
pippinwhitepaws said:i grew up with firearms...did the army...carried a bunch of neat weapons in my life...
but push comes to shove, situational awareness, a can of pepper spray, a pocket knife and matches just about covers all survival needs.
let me modify this response...there is a rabies epidemic in northern arizona just now...two people yesterday attacked by a rabid bobcat...second bobcat attack in a week...
normally one almost has to seek out trouble in the wilds...the animals know all about firearms, and avoid humans.
a pump shotgun is a more serviceable piece to carry for all round protection in the woods...and to be truthful, i have doubts many of the posters supporting pistol carry, can hit a moving target with a pistol.
