    I believe if one has a permit, carrying a firearm in a State or National park should also be okay. That said, I’m not entirely satisfied with the conditions for getting a Georgia permit to carry. I think that completing a firearms use and safety course should be mandatory before a permit is issued, and that the training course should include a test – not only a written test, but a marksmanship test. I don’t want a well-intentioned citizen to accidentally shoot an innocent bystander because they can’t use the weapon.

    I have yet to meet a dog on a trail that was any trouble at all. Hiker’s dogs seem to be especially sociable yet respectable.

    And I’m a cat person.

    I don’t hike in snow, but I can see where trekking poles would be useful there. I prefer a single staff. For hikes I can drive to I like to use my copper-shod red oak staff. If I’m flying, I have a LekiSport Orion collapsable staff that fits in a carry-on bag.
