 Man you guys... Sadly this isn't even the flattest a 'joke' of mine has ever fallen.

 Pic tax, and just to avoid any confusion it's rhizomorphic mycelium on a green plank of wood; found under a plant pot with some soil and small rocks just out to the side of it as well as several sticks of straw.

most small cats are warm weather creatures that hunt and live life at night naturally.
boots needs some boots and a coat.
he would be more home in Syria (without war)

coming from someone that's never been attacked by a wolf let alone a big cat or bigger.
its like going hunting and not telling people where your going and with who
or going camping with out a GPS/compass emergency beacon.
those are wolf tracks and ONE wolf would tear you apart like a hot dog imagine a FEW hungry predators or one big one in their elements.
and i'm a downer for saying take protection.
have fun communing with nature at the tip of a fang or claw

I only hike alone.
I don't carry self-defense articles, most of that is prohibited where I go.
I also don't pack water or snacks, it just weighs you down and makes the physical effort easier.
I also snowshoe barefoot, because our ancestors didn't have fancy boots and clothes protecting them.

I carry a small knife, but it's not really intended for protection...I mostly use it to cut up tangled fishing line i find caught up in trees/brush, and the occasional splinter.

In all seriousness, I usually carry a functional knife, but I doubt it would do much against a cougar or a black bear, which are really the only large predators in my area.
I also carry bear spray with me on all of my more remote adventures.
Based on what I've seen and read, bear and cougar attacks are insanely rare, like I'm more likely to get struck by lightning than attacked by either. Most cougar attacks are usually focused on defense or food, and when it's food, it's focused on small children. Bears are in the same boat, with most bear attacks being defensive wrt cubs, food, or space.
That data suggests that falling, dehydration, drowning, and exposure are much more likely to kill me than an animal. I generally pack my limited pack to reflect the risks, and in this case, a can of bear spray is already overkill.

You guys see the video of the mountain Lion that attacked the guy’s dog? The dude had to chop his head off with a machete and the thing was still clamped down.
If a mountain Lion gets on you as a human being I’m pretty sure you’re dead. I mean I would be.

Ya, cougars seem to be real assholes.
I remember reading an account from the victim of a cougar attack years ago that was published in Reader's Digest. Dude said he felt like something was following him for a while and then wham, he got butt rushed from a big kitty. He described his thought process of sacrificing one of his arms so that he could use his free arm to get into his pants pocket, retrieve a knife, fumble around trying to get the blade open before eviscerating that pissed off little kitty. All the while listening to the bones break in his arm and having the flesh torn away. Guy was a stud and walked out of the bush to get help thereafter. No one best pick a bar fight with that guy.

I seen a video of a cougar chaasing a hiker away from her cubs, she was just letting him know who's boss not attacking, he had to walk backwards facing it for like 20 minutes, then he started picking up stones and tossing it and when the cougar got hit by a stone, and was that far away from the cubs, it decided to fuck off

Haven't seen that one, but I've seen the one gopher just posted.
Was the guy ignoring the severity of the situation, and recording it instead?

It’s being filmed at a distance. Here’s the video.
