So a person in the national parks (according to The National Parks Service) has a 1 in 2.1 million chance of being attacked by bears. Globally, various sources I’ve seen show that there are about 45 bear attacks, in the world each year. In the last 100 years there have been around 20 people killed in cougar attacks in America. I found one guide that said there had been about 14 cougar attacks (including non-fatal attacks) a year. One statistic I found d showed the odds of getting attacked by a cougar are about 1 in a billion. The low double digits, between 10 and 20 people each year are murdered in National Parks (out of hundreds of millions of visitors) and it is statistically likely that at least some of those killed are likely to be family or acquaintances of the murders. Meanwhile just having a firearm in the home increases a persons risk of death. Each year about 25,000 people die by suicide or accident and another about 23,000 are murdered by people with guns. People who live with guns in the home are at 3 times the risk of suicide and twice the risk of being killed by a gun. About 46% of all violent crimes are committed by a total stranger (meaning 54% is someone known to the victim). So if you have a Venn diagram of all people killed by strangers and by animals in the wilderness the number must be extremely small (like in the single digits a year). But if toting around a gun on the trail makes you feel better, then go for it.

Three times I have been in a situation where I was forced to fight for my own safety and all three times I needed medical attention afterwards. Firearms are the great equaliser for those of us who wouldn't stand a chance otherwise. You neglected to mention where these gun crime numbers come from, the percentage of legal v illegally acquired guns, and even then it doesn't address the great variance in countries with lower current ownership but per capita similar violence statistics. I am from NZ, a country with a very different outset on guns. Until recently ownership was very common, easy to acquire, and we had low gun crime. Yet in the last twenty years we have, with a population moving from 4mil~ to 5mil~ had a domestic violence rate only surpassed by Sudan regularly. There is much more to this picture than simple numbers can explain and for this reason, many women feel safer knowing a firearm will level the playing field between them and some slimeball who thinks they've got the right to take.

I grew up in a family that camped out a lot. This was probably in the early 60's, but we were camping out, then went into nearby Kingman AZ for breakfast and bought a newspaper. Right on the front page was a story about a mom and dad who were murdered while sleeping in their car not far from where we were, the kids were in sleeping bags a little ways away. When the kids woke up the next morning they found both parents dead, their throats slashed. That stuck with me for a long time 😰

Back in university, we had a guy that was rumored to have suffered a mental breakdown due to too much LSD. The story was that the guy had wealthy parents so they kept him in school earning multiple degrees and living in the dorms because it was cheaper than institutionalizing him. He supposedly still had a savant-like mental capacity but zero social skills or ability to take care of himself. My friends and I tried to approach him in the lunchroom a couple times only for him to flee in panic. I felt sorry for him but at least he seemed harmless. Always wondered what happened with him since he was still there when i graduated.

We were children and young teens (a group of five or six siblings and friends) when we were followed and threatened by someone with a machete or ax. This person stayed just out of sight and kept using the machete to chop into branches as we held on to one-another in an outward facing cluster, each holding whatever weapon we could take to hand. I remember smashing a glass bottle and holding it by the neck as we stumbled down the trail towards our car, the whole time being sure that either this person was going to charge at us from the dark with a deadly weapon, or that we'd get to our car and discover that they had disabled it in some way. Fortunately we were able to jump into my sister's car and it started. Were they seriously considering harming us deterred only by the sound of breaking bottles and my eldest sister's banshee cries to GO AWAY and LEAVE US ALONE!? Or were they just sadistically enjoying scaring a group of children? Who knows? I have never enjoyed being out in the woods at night since that incident when my brother was nine or 10 and I was 12 or 13.

Far more universal. There has been ongoing debate in Australia about the detention of individuals who had arrived in the country without going through the correct channels for immigration. A handful with criminal histories, including sexual assault, had been kept in indefinite detention, which of course upset those who champion individual liberties over societal concerns. They took the matter to the highest court, leading to the release of the detainees. Within the month, all 7 were arrested for criminal activity... including sexual assault . Cue outcry, I suspect from self same crusaders, about the release of these known dangerous individuals into our society. Likely these men will be deported; unfortunately, citizens can't be deported. In Australia, I know of one case where a citizen was detained for life, with all legal niceties observed. Derek Percy was the vilest specimens ever spawned (his preferred victim was in low single figures of age, and he has been plausibly linked to several unsolved child murders and disappearances), and was convicted and (crucially) committed on psychiatric grounds. Parole and possible freedom were on the cards (indefinite detention being illegal in most countries), but at every appeal, the reviewing experts would return an assessment of "no diagnosable impairment, but do not release". After Percy's death, a storage unit full of his written fantasies was located. It should not have been possible for Percy to arrange this from his level of incarceration, but he managed. What chance would "supervised release" had of success? He would have reoffended within days, if not hours. So thanks are due to those who stood their ground and kept him safely locked away for life.

The third story is just like one that happened in Czech Republic few years ago. A mother who was about to lose custody on her four year old son took him on a winter walk in the mountains, where they were spending holidays. No one reported them missing until the owners of the inn where they were staying in noticed two days later. Immediately police, helicopters, mountain rescue started looking for them, thinking they may be lost without cell singal, wounded or so. Last proof of where they went was an eerie security cam footage. There's the mother walking with a stern, sad face and the boy behind her, pulling his sled. It took some time. Later they found them next to some forest road. She strangled the boy and hanged herself. It's always so hard to listen to this type of stories. How could the parents decide the way they did, I will never understand.

Later he said, "OK, i go home, have a nice day! But, on my way Home i kill the first person." No one knows, why he had this Idea. The victim was a man on it's way home from Work. Killed with a pocked knife. It took a very long time to find the murder. Problem was, that his friends were not the smartest guys on earth and they we're just afraid of getting in trouble.

It would be great to look into Laura Macke in the ONP. She disappeared on a well traveled trail on the way to the enchanted valley on late oct 2022. At first the family was very cooperative and then all of a sudden they weren’t and they said people should stop bothering them. I don’t know it’s kind of suspicious like, maybe the brother did it….

Wasn't there a guy in CA who attacked people on the trails with a machete or axe, way back in the 60s or 70s? My family did lots of hiking and camping as kids - a big batch of kids and my dad. Mom would stay home (relieved to have some time to herself, I suspect). My dad always carried a gun and a machete and each of us kids had a small hatchet and Swiss army knife. We had lots of bear where we lived, but I think Dad was also very cautious about other people. We also always had 3 to 4 big dogs. I never worried about a thing; I guess Dad did all the worrying.

After I went to medical school and started seeing people who had bad trips in the er, as well as learning about the pharmacology of drugs of abuse, I never used illegal drugs again. I volunteered at the free medical clinic two nights a week. When suddenly we saw an increase in the number of people who had bad trips. But I learned is that LSD is difficult to make, the ingredients are expensive and the ingredients are used for much else. That makes it easier for the FDA to monitor who is buying lysergic acid add to catch people who make LSD PCP came into use in the 1980s. It costs very little to make pcp. The ingredients to make PCP that is hard for the FDA to monitor the production of PCP Now if you are someone who is trying to get rich off making illegal drugs, which are you going to make? 1. A drug that is difficult to make, expensive to make, and difficult to hide from the authorities? 2. A drug that is easy and cheap to make, and for which the authorities have difficulty catching you? These drugs are illegal so there is no drug quality assurance monitoring. So usually when you buy LSD you're actually buying pcp. When people can develop lifelong psychosis after just one "trip". PCP has even been found in mushrooms sold as psylocybin mushrooms.

I live right by that trail in Boonesboro and I never knew that happened 🤔

It seems like EVERY person has some form of mental health problems, myself included. The easy answer seems to be reopening asylums but it'd be nice to have what some other countries do: a social worker that confirms people are actively addressing their mental health issues by seeing psychiatrists and taking their meds. It's basically a probation officer for mental health, if you don't comply with your treatment plan you get committed. Something needs to change because it's only getting worse. Another thing, the doctors in California are so backed up that I have to wait three months to get an appt with my psychiatrist. It's depressing.

Exactly...its like 6 mo to a year long wait to see a psychiatrist in the part of Wisconsin I'm in (Madison). More funding needs to go into mental health care.

Yeah, they made a big mistake closing down all the inpatient hospitals. Some people just need to be in a controlled environment, as they can't successfully manage themselves (or be managed) in the community. It would require people to part with some money in the form of taxes though, so don't hold your breath.

A police sergeant friend of mine said that Canada made three major mistakes that now hinder policing and helping to prevent a lot of crime. 1. Closing the asylums 2. Striking down the vagrancy laws 3. getting rid of the foot patrol police aka beat cops.

Nuts are dangerous in or out of cities or parks.

Thank you - great content😊

Thanks for another great video

Those poor little girls 😢

Thank you for the warning! I really appreciate that!

I love backpacking and solo adventures. I also never miss your channel or the latest post's. Although often hard to hear. l think you're very empathetic about the way you explain things. Greetings from Scotland.

Hiking and camping areas, are game trials for the human predator! It’s a shame, but it seems to be the case. You simply never know what you will encounter

I doing really have anything to say just love your Channel and I’m commenting to help your algorithm lol ❤🎉

I remember Malibu state park / Anthony all too well. I had hiking there all day & was just finishing up my hike when I ran into a state park employee that informed me of the recent shootings and other incidents. I was very caught off guard having heard nothing about this living nearby & hiking in the area frequently.

One time I got scared camping from other people. Usually it’s wildlife I worry about here in Alaska. Yrs ago we had a man walk up on us carrying a rifle about 2 am. It freaked us out. Our dog had woke us up cause she heard him coming down the trail. He was drunk and looking for his friends and got lost.

You should take some random subscribers on a camping trip when you hit 1 million

My aunt told me a story from the 70s. She was at a party and this girl took alot of lsd.. she's been in a mental asylum ever since. It's possible. Not DEFENDING him but it's possible.

Thank you Kyle!💕✨

As someone from the uk if I moved to usa I’m getting a gun license your just lacking without one

I remember the Jenner case. It's quiet at night, though. A beautiful part of hwy 1 for a weekend drive from the SF Bay Area.

I hiked the at and went throuh that area just after it really made my hike horrible

This story really brings home why American gun laws are so bad,

Kyle, We love your work however……Imagine our surprise at an ad for a vape Fum? Really off putting even if it is “fun”! Especially after an Everest episode where oxygen is constantly mentioned?😮

Not if you're asleep when shot.

I lived there and we used to have bon fire parties on that beach. We called it river mouth. So disturbing and sad it seems like just yesterday. I will never forget.

What the HELL Kyle? That's DAMN scary!

I live by Malibu Creek St Park I remember when that was all going down, LAPD didn't care, until someone actually died Keep up the good work. Love the channel Keep Climbing

In my younger years I went on a small hike with a friend to my favorite camp spot. Ate some mud bugs (Crawdads) that we had caught picking up rocks. Along with some MRE's I saved from being in the field. After putting out fire, we headed to bed and just a few moments later we hear a truck mudding to out location. It stops probably 150 meters away and then I hear the doors open followed by so many bullets being fired that they had to be rich because it didn't stop for what seems forever. I was already on the ground so all I could do is pray I don't get hit. I had a 44 mag and my friend had a 9mm. We tried to yell at them to stop and I am pretty sure they couldn't hear us. I could not shoot back, I was fearfully enough, but moving anywhere I would have become Swiss. They left as suddenly as they came. In the morning I woke up to a bunch of holes in my tent.

Hey Kyle as much as I like your thriller series are you ever going to get back on the trail again or even camping? I hope you’re not living up to your moniker 😂

i've got plans for the summer.

My dad worked with Veterans most of his career, he told me stories about guys who lived in the state hospital with broken brains after a bad acid trip. I believed him and chose never to try it.

It happens, my friend ate a sheet when pull over by police, & was NEVER the same afterwards

I think that is what happened to my daughter. She was a loving, caring, giving, mother, wife, daughter,sister. After her divorce she hooked up with the wrong guy for a few years and hasn't been the same since. So as much as I hoped she would get back to who she was before. Reading the comments that are saying they know someone who was NEVER the same after taking something one time supports what I believe happened. Her siblings and I feel helpless and all of the support, love and efforts we give have not changed anything. Our family will never be the same and we miss that beautiful soul she was. I feel so helpless as a Mother for my baby girl ❤
