Yes, When I hit the Divide I will be well prepared to defend myself from any possible threat by Man or Beast!

Take a good look at this photo.
On the Left is my Extremely dangerous minature Victoninox Classic Knife with it's .9 inch Razor Sharp blade, Deadly nail file, compound double action scissors, wicked toothpick and threatening tweezers.

My plan is to repel the charging Bruin with my blade.. failing that I shall file down his gnashing teeth and render them harmless!

If that is not enough to intimidate Mr Griz then I have my Super Special Thru-Hiker Toothbrush with a Complete Handle for greater leverage.
It is a known fact that bears hate to brush their teeth and even the sight of a toothbrush unsheathed will send them scurrying with fear.

Yes... I shall walk boldly un-afraid.
