Recalling the old joke about who could convert, a Minister, Priest or Rabbi.

When hiking in the Cascades, I always carried something, 5" .45 or 4" 357Mag.

One set of trails covering the old railroad grade had berries growing both sides of trail and plenty of bear scat steaming on trail, or paw prints in mud next to it.

Never had a problem and only time I saw a bear was when it lifted it head from behind a fallen trunk and eating something. Wasn't me and i executed a strategic maneuver. After all I was just visiting.
