<DIV>I would take pepper spray. I always carry it for protection from
animals and humans. The chances of using it for these things are very
slim, but it is nice to know I have something that is fairly light and
effective.</DIV>

<DIV>Pepper spray works on most humans. Some who have certain metal
disorders or certain drugs in their system, you will just make
them angry. But that is a VERY small part of the human
population. I like pepper spray.</DIV>

<DIV>Say, I remember the first time I camped out with Can'tQuit. She was
setting up camp several yards from me and pulled out a BIG full size, heavy
Bowie knife just before we went turn in for the night. I now tease her
about this big heavy knife she had for protection. Too funny. Of
course, camping with a Trail Pirate, may be this made sense. I would
not mess with her even if I was a grizzly.</DIV>
