[pct-l] More animal news to fuss about/horses

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Hi everyone!
I'm planning a 2012 thru-hike with my pug Poopsie who will ride on  
top of my travois which my horse will towing. I'm planning to forage  
for greens and hunt and fish along the way to save on resupplies. I'm  
bringing a shotgun for hunting, but I also think maybe I need a  
handgun for protection. What's the best pistol to bring? I want to be  
able to aim at humans and rattlesnakes. I hate snakes and intend to  
kill every one I see. And now you tell me about wolves! Since my  
horse will be towing all my gear, I'm considering bringing my  
mountain bike so that I can give my horse a break from carrying me.  
Plus I really want to enjoy bombing the downhill sections. I was  
thinking of starting in February because I really hate desert heat.  
Where can I rent a horse real cheap? I'm pretty broke so I'm going to  
be doing this to raise money for the human fund. Please send  
donations. This is going to be an epic adventure like nobody else has  
ever done!
