[pct-l] Safety on the PCT

[Donna Saufley]

I'm not sure that would work with thru hikers.  Everyone has a big 'ol stain
(and lots of them) on their pants, and some might follow you down the trail
to see if there's anything edible or salvageable in the garbage . . . the
carriage might even win an award as new innovative gear :o)

loudly something like, AY, AY, AY, AY, or EEE, EEE,
EEE.  It was so bizarre her attacker ran off.  Don't
know if this would work for anybody else but it worked
for her!>




That reminds of some advice Steve Martin once gave
when he was doing stand-up.  He recommennded getting a
baby carriage, fill it full of garbage, push it down
the street (trail) with a big ol' stain on the front
of your pants...no one will bother you. With the
possible exception of a ranger.
