Hiking Question

[DrjonesUSA]

no gun, I opt for my legs... I can run a 4:55 mile (no joke) which can get you out of a lot of bad situations (in the city or the back woods)

It won't get you away from any four-legged predator.

I'd bet a lot you'd twist/sprain/break an ankle running through rough terrain.

agreed that a 5-minute mile is fast, but no matter how fast I sprint, my dog practically laughs at me while trotting backwards at a leisurely pace. border collies are diabolical.
