@chachee1974 I have multiple firearms and a CCW. I decided before the hike that the weight of carrying a firearm simply wasn't justified. Apparently I was proved right since we didn't need one.

@lokiracer "Since we didn't need one" HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHH And if you do need one next time then what? Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

[lokiracer]

@manderson2228 With that mentality, do you carry a murse so store all the stuff you "might" need?

[j6mcd]

@lokiracer Honestly i struggled with the same decision and i came up with another answer. my weapon weighs 27oz. I agree with everyone saying its really safe, however there ARE obvious dangers..so, 27oz is worth saving my life, or the life of someone else.

I like the movement of the camera...It just makes it "feel" like walking on the trail.

I love how you did this video. I'm heading there this week.

[lokiracer]

@BetsyByrdify Thanks. I wish it wasn't so wobbly, but that's what you get when filming on the go with pocket cameras. I filmed 1-2 minutes every........5 miles I think.

You did a good job...I was just up Springer yesterday and thought I would post a movie, but no need, you have a good one for folks interested in that part of the trail.
