if you really have wood for this crap, check out the alien autopsies... for the youngers of course. tis all human creativity and fake as fake can be.
Your correct there. When my friends and I hike the NW Cascades, we always carry. And it's not to ward off cougars, bears, bull elk, and Big Foot. It's for those scum bags you can and do run into. We seen it all. Mobile meth labs, mushroom pickers, Illegals, people who manage hidden plots of pot, and others keeping a low profile away from the law and other people. Their out there, and keep in mind the more remote the campground the better they like it.
