anyone who goes into the deep woods hiking is a FOOL not to carry a firearm......
my buddy did a hike from maine to georgia i think..... it was on appalachian trail..... he got robbed....not cool when your 1500 miles from your home an now YOU REALLY have to rely on your ability to gather food an make it till you can contact your family to send you cash.... me i would be more worried about 2 legged predators.....but i have had my run ins wth 4 legged predators an i tell you what i'd rather face fists an feet than a ball of muscle with fangs n fur!!!!! I DO NOT go into woods without a gun at all.... even an irate deer could mess u up if your not careful |

Yeah, only the Applachian Trail don't go through no deep woods.

BT, have you ever been to the north end, near Moosehead Lake in Maine? That is most definitely deep woods.

One person's wilderness is another person's back yard.

The referenced portion of the trail is in an area called the 100 mile woods. It is known for Mosquitos, flooded trails, and general difficulty. Many AT hikers skip that portion.
You must have some back yard, BT. |

I have lived in a log house in West Virginia. Now I live in the suburbs. Guess which place has the most wild animals? I've seen everything but lions and bears and as far as bears go, I figure it's only a matter of time. Haven't seen any possums, coyotes or wolves. I have seen beaver but not from the deck.
Wilderness is a state of mind, mostly. I'm scared of it all, Got's truth! so I am; It's too big and brutal for me. My nerve's on the raw and I don't give a damn For all the "hoorah" that I see. I'm pinned between subway and overhead train, Where automobillies swoop down: Oh, I want to go back to the timber again-- I'm scared of the terrible town. I'm scared of it all: Oh, afar I can hear The voice of my solitudes call! We're nothing but brute with a little veneer, And nature is best after all. There's tumult and terror abroad in the street; There's menace and doom in the air; I've got to get back to my thousand-mile bea; The trail where the cougar and silver-tip meet; The snows and the camp-fire, with wolves at my feet; Good-bye, for it's safer up there.

OK, this was fun, but when we haven't discussed anything related to law or civil rights in the last page, I think we've run out of steam.
Also, Ewoks scare the bejeezus out of me.
