Why should you be safe in your backyard? that used to be the domain of wolves, bears and coyotes, you are in THEIR backyard as you sit in your backyard.

Hey... see that fence around the backyard? And the network of 10s of kilometers of civilization all around us? That's called "taking precautions" against animals. If you abandon those precautions by going into the backcountry*, that's your choice. Doesn't make the rest of us hypocrites.
*or Fish Creek Park, as I found out last year. I ran right past a mom & cub black bear there and didn't see it...the guy following me a few seconds later did see it, and they were only a few feet from the path.
