If you were on a hike unarmed and came across a wild predator what would you do?

The biggest deterrent to most predators is knowing they've been spotted. Just keep looking and back off nice and slow, most time they're looking for their own escape route

In all my years of hiking & I have done lots. I have never come across a predator. I have seen a few but hey were KM away 7 heading the opposite direction. Most wild animals hear you coming & go the other way.

Tell him Chris handson is down the trail and he's not taking names anymore so he better run

Make myself look big, make noise and back away facing the predator.

[Uglygaypoorcoward94]

yes but if all else fails...

[Ms_Facesitter]

that is another question, for another time

Wake up because I'm always armed.

[Uglygaypoorcoward94]

Yeah but if you weren't. A girl I went on a hike with said I would run, well if I had a sword or a firearm fending off a wild beast would be possible. I don't know what courageous men she dates that would fight a cougar bare handed or tossing stones. Idek have a slingshot smh.

[Agape93]

Except I always am.

It's not a matter of courage, but survival. You fight to the death or you'll just be cougar shit

[Uglygaypoorcoward94]

haha true

Throw a democrat at it

The cowardly thing would be to run but the wise thing would be to trip the chick you're with
