I live in Black Bear and Cougar country and have never carried a firearm. Despite having a couple bears over the years mock charge me, growling, popping their jaws, etc. I usually carry two fixed blade knives on the outside of my pack on each side just in case. I figure if an animal charges I will attempt to put an arrow in it and when the animals gets on top of me, I will go to my knives. Part of the adventure for me.
