I am prepared for a wacko- When I pack or camp it's not the animal I wonder about- it is the human that concerns me and I am prepared for that encounter mentally as well as physically. There are certain things in life I won't tolerate - not changing how I live VS what society seems to accept now. I would like to see any encounter handled peacefully- but that person doing that would have been turned in one way or another- if not it happens again. I would not put my family in uncertain danger though my kids are on thier own now- I would have asked my wife to leave- though she could handle a situation very well on her own and is also prepared mentally and physically to deal with it. This isn't something that hasn't been well thought out and trained for - it would not be a spur of the moment action.
