I’ve read enough NoSleep and Let’s Not Meet stories on Reddit that I would want to bring an arsenal if hiking in a remote and desolate place.

strange to go hiking with a gun
Not in an large uninhabited desolate area, I would not leave without a weapon, probably a knife and a gun

Dude this is still fricking wrong, I don’t understand why you haven’t hanged it, and even more so why everyone is upvoting it

The guy was a security guard, thus easier for him to feel the need to have a gun on him.

I would have died laying the wood to her

can you sumise some things about those threads? Reddits layout gives me the HIV.
A guy who tracks missing people told a story about 2 siblings getting lost from their parents on a hike. Young kids.
He and his team found the girl and asked her wtf happened. She said, "the bear man took my brother." They never found him.

I would be bulletless pretty soon if I was living off the land for three months. Seems kinda fishy

Someone posted here about a guy who got out of his car to see the sites in the desert and he died. He got lost and was found not even a mile from his car or some shite.

Here's the deal for all you inexperienced, the second you feel like your are lost, stay right fricking there. Don't make it worse. Find nearby shelter and hold tight. It's your best chance of getting found.
This.
Survival Rules always say to stay put and not risk getting "more lost". You also conserve energy and resources by staying put.
Staying put and firing a round or two in the air might have let people find their location

Just because they were found after 3 months doesn't mean they were alive for three months.

Especially in CA.
Get inland about 20-30 miles from the coast and it's a totally different state from the progressive persona it's known for.

Exactly
Damn there are some stupid people on this board
They were found in a canyon, maybe they fell, maybe they couldn’t find their way back out. If the canyon walls were steep it could easily feel like you are lost in a giant hole, add dehydration, fear and possible injury and it could get hopeless really fast

Remote hiking isn't as prevalent down here. Going on one unprepared is a huge eye opener on what can happen.

Yeah, kind of strange to go hiking with a gun, especially if you're taking off from a B&B.

Exactly. There are people on this site that have started threads about carrying while they mow the lawn and all the sudden everyone thinks it's strange to take a gun on a remote hike?

Bringing a gun isn't something that screams experience to me.
This. Not saying that some experienced hikers don't carry firearms, but a gun is extra weight. Truth is, if you practice good wilderness survival techniques, you will never need one.

I went hiking on this trail in Big Bend that was right next to the camp ground. The first three bends in the trail had these big signs saying "what to do if you encounter a bear" and "what to do if you encounter a mountain lion." Said frick that and went to get the gun. Took it with me every time after that.

In fairness, I've never seen a news report of a murder-suicide because of dehydration while mowing the lawn.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with pointing out that it isn't odd to carry a gun on a hike.

The better question is who in the hell thinks it is a good idea to hike in a desert in July?
