Where is this Little River Canyon? I guess I'd find a different place if it is so often a target of thieves, because if you are up the canyon your vehicle and it's contents are fair game to these people. And if you come back and find them going through your car you can't just shoot them (legally} for breaking into your car unless you are in it. Also make sure you are well versed in your state's Castle and stand your ground, or self defense laws.
I carry a tactical folder at all times and a 40 cal most of the time

Originally posted by bertwert I'm slightly worried, but I'm only carrying $700 of gear at a time (about 500 USD).
I do carry a knife all the time (it's not that useful for self defense) which gives me self-thought security against wild animals (I hike a LOT).
Hey Bert the knife is probably a much better self defense tool against people than any kind of animal that would attack you. Then again maybe you got some really mean bunnies up there in BC.
