Only thing I gotta add is when I was riding through the Talledega national forest fire roads in Alabama about 4 years ago , I came around a corner and there was a Mountain lion in the middle of the...

Very true. I was out with my dog on a hike in a wildlife management area when out of the bushes beside the trail a coyote jumped out right in front of us, looked at my dog, then took off. Well my...

Lets just all remember, bears are all unique, just like humans. There are laid back bears who don't want any trouble (most bears I have come across), and there are just some plain old mean bears out...

Hahah... sounds like one of his friends was drunk... but I have heard the screams of demon women in the woods that sounded like something from hell... oh wait those were cougers, still scary though...

I use the steripen opti. Only 3.6 ounces with batteries. I carry a paper coffee filter (weight = nothing) for any dirty water and some aqua mira just in case the steri pen ever gives out. I got a...

A bulldog pug 44 special is just the ticket. Cheap, light, and fires a massive bullet that will take care of anything on the trail.

Just curious, but why are all the animals in Canada more aggressive then anything south of it? I always hear the the Canadian black bear is much more aggressive then the ones here in the state and...

Holy crap, that is crazy. Even though I just recently saw a huge black bear, I still fear boars wayyyyy... more then bears. I was chased twice by boars in Cohutta wilderness. Once I actually had to...

Ya, I know, they typical excuse of no picture, but my wife had the camera so that she could take some pictures of the art she painted and put them on her website, so that was a no go. Plus I find...

Ya it does suck that I vacated that camp site, it was beautiful and someone had already put all the firewood in the fire for me too. I figured it was for the better if I found another site as I...

I tell you what, I will never go camping in Griz Country. There is just something about those grizzlies that strike fear deep within. I can tolerate black bears, even though the last one I saw was...

My dog is about the size of a beagle. My dog doesn't bark, it just looks in the general direction of where the sound is coming from and just investigates. I kept seeing her over near the shrub and...

I just got back from an overnighter. I started off later then I wanted on the sunday before labor day and got to the top of rocky mountain here in Georgia, the mountain before Tray Mountain. I...

Figured I would post an update. Me and my brother in law were hiking down from the Cohutta mountains Grassy mountain tower (we were hiking down the fire road) and were charged by a group of 4 hogs...

Boars scare me more the bears too.... they are so unpredictable and they height of their tusks are perfect to cut your artery in your legs should they go to town on you..

Ya man, I just leave them stringed up and never take them apart. Carry 2 packs. Those things are loud as hell even on July the 4th when everyone else is shooting off fireworks, I couldn't imagine the...

I heard that you aren't suppose to act all crazy until a bear gets really interested in you. Then you do what you say, but not until the bear looks like it is definitely interested and looking at you...

Anyone ever carry fire crackers with them so if a bear does come stumbling into a camp site you can light a string of black cats and make it sound like you are unloading an automatic rifle right by...

Damn, I swear, all the people complaining about dogs... lol. Well, everyone has their own opinion and maybe have had bad experiences with dogs when they were younger. I have been attacked by dogs...

I have a dog that is a little bit bigger then a beagle. She is half chow, half beagle actually. Anyhow she fits fine in with me in my Seedhouse SL1. I just cut a piece of blue foam down to her size...

Just curious, why is the frosty mountain spring not shown on the trail. There is no sign or anything pointing to it on top of frosty mountain. I had a map and I had planned on making this a water...

I'm looking to get the Keen shoes with good ventilation. I have a pair of their sandles and love the way they feel. I know they won't last as long, but after hiking 20 miles of the AT this weekend,...

I can do it with some seriously heavy loads, at least backpacking wise. With 40 plus pounds all straps are loose, but not too loose. Just easy enough so that its easy for me to get my arms through....

Except when they are ripping apart a creature that is screaming at the top of its lungs not too far from the tent. Sounds like the raptors tearing apart the cow in the 1st jurassic park....

Ride due west as the sun sets. Turn left at the Rocky Mountains.
