I'm glad you conceal carry and that it is your third tier of defense. Thank you for being open and honest about your security.

Nice. I used to “speed hike”. Now since I film/post I enjoy the views so much more and look for all the pretty things to film. Thanks for the reminder. ❤❤

Never knew of this and/helped touris back years ago of hikes in area but floods of creweeks etc change the lang all the time

You forgot your dog. 🤭

Very responsible and wise carrying a gun with you also the awareness looking around you this is some really great advise. Thank you

Sedona is absolutely spectacular my friend! Beautiful film and music fits perfectly!

Beautiful! Love Sedona.

The yellow leaves against the blue sky… So pretty

There are many things we cannot illuminate within ourselves no matter where we travel to. The outdoors can be a good form of therapy but it will never replace actual therapy.

Wow, absolutely beautiful, We don't get hiking trails like those where I live

?

No , no, no! Damn it, CDA is FULL! Stay to fuck out of Idaho! Go back from wence you came you fkn cnt...

Looks like a fun trip!

Wolves come out night look out for them ..I had one chase me on my bike ..the thing to do is try to pedal faster

That's true alltrials really good tool .

An absolute must, Was there two weeks ago. Strongly recommend go during the fall [no bugs] mid-week if you want to avoid crowds. Make sure you bring a lunch to have by the lake. CCW is the way to go to avoid ALOT of stairs up to the parking lot @ Artist Point

The letting people know where you are as a great thing that you’re doing so is carrying the gun. Smart girl as long as you’re doing training with the gun practice will make you capable of defending yourself.

Hi , mine is 5 months and I tried. Almost end up in the hospital 😂

wow, this was a shocking gear list! be safe :)

I'm so lost right now

In England we are not allowed to carry pepper spray. Would a box cutter be some use, any thoughts?

personally, I have found the best defense for hiking is having a walking stick or staff, mostly as a dog defense, basically to keep unleashed dogs from running up and jumping on me or otherwise.... anyways, it is a frequent event so I always make one or bring one for a hike most of the time. I just point the stick out at them when they run up and that usually stops them or if not I can push them off. I have encountered some snippy dogs before, but mostly they are ok but I dont appreciate wild dogs coming up and wiping their nose on me or jumping on me. besides that, as a woman I would recommend the stick, and pepper spray, and even a whistle, but that is mostly for signalling help if lost or injured. I always bring a knife and a folding saw, but that is usually for tasks, such as getting materials for projects or fire back at home, or to make a walking stick. I dont think you really need a firearm for hiking, unless in wild animal country or someplace seriously dangerous, or if hunting.

Never go anywhere unfamiliar?

Your fingers in front of the barrel made me nervous The closer to civilization the closer to weirdos Glad your equipped proud of you Stay strong stay safe 👍 stay outdoors

Hello 👋 Taryn, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this informative video. You did a fine job. You brought some great points to be aware of. The best to you and your Fiancee. Always stay safe out there. 😮 😊

That wasn’t a spiderweb - that was a communal caterpillar nest.

Pepper gel is probably better than spray as it is less likely to have blow back to your eyes

amaze, can't wait to reach out this place, tnx for sharing. I love your storyteller beautiful voice...

How to be safe : carry a gun ... Got it

thx for not being a lyb turd.

Wonderful.... might I make a suggestion on your carry position? If youre going to get into it with someone, it's alot of grappling and that will be hard to get to. It's also right where someone could get to it if you ARE grappling and they're literally right there and have just as much access to it as you do... move it to the 3 o'clock position and you can use your body to put between the badguy and the pew pew so you can get an accurate draw... stay safe

You hope for a bear to protect you?

Ever seen bigfoot❤❤❤❤❤

wow that is my concealed carry as well... that is the best CCW, just FYI..

Great that you're carrying but never put a body part in front of the business end of your firearm.

Good tips, nicely done!

Dogs also help if your not aware or don’t want to be. 🧘‍♀️

Pepper spray, a knife and a gun? Wow, hiking as a solo female sure is different in the USA than Norway. I just bring my things. I do bring a knife, but that's because I like to whittle.

I'm inside your walls

"God created all men, but Samuel Colt made them equal." Good on ya girl.

It’s beautiful ! However, it depends on the country and the place ! At the moment, in some countries, it is hunting (September until April or May) but for the spring and summer yes ! 👏 🤍🤍🌳💚

Gorgeous, your narration and overall video quality are amazing my friend!

Thank you for your kind words!

That's a wonderful hiking adventure Taryn. Fantastic scenery and great production!

The best feeling 🤍🤍🌳💚

Not overkill at all. It is called being prepared for the minimum or maximum situation that could or should ever arise! Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it! Kudos to you!!

So yes, these are good things to carry with you hiking alone, but if you plan to use that gun on a mountain lion or a bear, or even another person, if the caliber is that low, they have a great chance of killing you as well. That handgun will only scare off a bear that isn't already charging you.

I think it’s perfectly fine what you’re doing. You’re only protecting yourself while doing something fun. Sad thing is this world is so bad off you can’t do these things without worry

Just 2 notes. When holstering keep your finger over the trigger and guard on a soft holster to prevent accidental trigger pulls by the fabric. The knife holster should be tied to the leg or pistol holster on the belt line. You should be able to draw, and use the knife with 1 hand, (same with the pistol)

Normalize regular cary!! i love to see people that cary for the right reasons, hopefully this encourages more women to have self protection!🫶🏼
