Did those same folks mention a gun, that you might be crazy to go hiking
alone, and/or you're gonna die out there?

It is far from essential. Critters big and small only want your food.
You'll have more trouble from mice than bears.

I wonder if there is more than one discharge of bear spray on the PCT each
year , and if that one was even really necessary.

But hey, this is just my opinion, man.
