Your hiking piece?

[Stomper]

Hiking is rather enjoyable. A good book on different places is great.

My go to is a website.

Oregon Hikers - PortlandHikers.org

I try todo a new hike each year. There is one hike I do every year at least once or twice as well. The kid has made it more difficult, but I'm hoping this year is better.

As for carry piece? I usually just have a 22lr on me if that.

You guys must be hiking in some sketchy neighborhoods!

Don't kid yourself, the hills have eyes... sometimes they're really close set... sometimes there's even a set of three amongst them.

Bears, cougars, wolves... Oh my!!!

Then there's the odd grow operation, the mushroomers that get crazy about people getting into "their" patch, and the just plain evil phucks that wanna do a "Deliverance" on your azz just because you are out there alone and they can. Anybody ever figure out what happened to that couple that got killed at the shooting range? Yah, I didn't think so...

True that. And the meth situation down this way is absolutely insane. In recent memory, I'm aware of at least two normal/non-drug mutant guys who went hiking or scouting for a hunting trip just south of us who disappeared in the woods. One they later found dead and, IIRC, it was the narcotics cretins that got him.

LOL!

Well, I do like wildflowers. And large caliber handguns. Why not: together at last!

To be completely honest I wouldn't get paranoid and I'm sure you're not either. We go camping a lot and besides those trailers that one time we've only ran into one bear who stared at us for a second then turned and walked away. The woods are a pretty quiet and uneventful place in my experience. BUT, carrying a pistol is easy and better safe than sorry!

 

[Member 34319]

My sense of sarcasm isn't for everyone!

Carry what you please in the woods, in your house, while naked, I don't care.

 

[bbbass]

I don't understand why anyone that normally carries EDC would choose not to carry in the woods. Do they see it as all rainbows and unicorns out there?

No reason to get excited, said the joker to the thief. It's not as dangerous as Los Angeles/Compton, but it's not Disney World either. There are indeed risks... just like walking the streets. You probably won't ever need a firearm, but if you do and don't have it, then...

The bad guys in my neighborhood are pretty upper crusty and will hold real still for you so you can pop them in the grape with a .22 short so that's all I carry.

There is a 10mm Sig Legion in the classifieds right now. And a gold chrome DE. Both perfect for hiking in mountain lion and armed meth head country.

 

[Bon Sauvage]

For hikes I carry a GP100 in .44 Special. My wife carries her G19.

 

[CountryGent]

And a gold chrome DE.

When I acquired a DE, I'almost went with the wackiest one available, but there's a limit, so went with the brushed chrome. Still tempted to install some pimpalicious grips though.

 

[edslhead]

If I'm hiking its usually hunting or setting trail cams. Either my 69 or 101 go, both are smaller and lighter than my 10mms.

I didn't know you wore black spandex pants!

 

[Xaevian]

Take whatever matches your yoga pants!

I was out hiking once and lo and behold, I bumped into Paul Harrell.. instead of him wearing his trademark multi-pocket hunting coat, he was wearing skintight spandex.

Not concurrently? I thought mountain pilots were tough!

You guys who mentioned the 10㎜ now have me thinking about this. I did some research just now and the ballistics are most impressive. While the Glock is a damn fine piece, I prefer a SA/DA, steel/wood grips pistol. Any recommendations along these lines? Thanks.

I wonder if 9mm +p is comparable?

LOL, No.
