Glad you guys are safe! Just wanted to share this article.. I hiked a lot before and after trying hiking strapped, and I love the latter even more.

Honestly now I’m too scared to go without some sort of defense. Maybe because it’s fresh and it’s never happened before in like 15 years of me walking this trail. Better safe than sorry I guess 😰
The moral of the story is totally true. We don’t really rise to the occasion. If we are practiced at a good response then maybe we do that, but we might also just freeze.. or find out we are crazy like that one lady that pushed the bear with cubs off the fence to protect her dogs 😂😂
Sounds like you guys did well though!
