I encountered a cougar but was able to scare if off.

Usually I don't carry any self defence items into the forest (except knife and axe of course). I do not carry a gun.

Last year a friend of mine gave me an item for christmas. This item is supposed to be designed for urban use and for some reason I decided to bring this item with me on this day....lucky I did. what I brought is a Ultra Urban by a company called Salus. It's basically a rape preventor type device but I can tell you....it also works really well in the woods.

It helped me big time so i though I'd post it here for other people to think about and maybe use instead of a lethal weapon.

Here's a link to this thing.

The problem with sonic defense devises is that you not only disorient your attacker, but yourself as well! Your attacker, being the 2 legged or 4 legged either one could recover quicker than you and then you are 100% screwed. So I personally wouldn't recommend anything like that for wilderness defense purposes.
