Here we are hiking at Glacier National Park in Montana at Highline Trail (or also known as Garden Wall). This was one of the most beautiful places we have hiked.
We live in Georgia and have hiked many trails on the Appalachian Trail. We have hiked the areas where the hiker was abducted and killed in Jan of 2008. It hit many of us hikers very hard and we started to wonder if we should be taking guns on the trail with us.
Now you have an alternative to weapons that kill people. Carry self defense devices that are not designed to kill--but to severely and temporarily disable an attacker. We recommend hikers purchase at least one of these products:
- a stun gun (which looks like a cell phone) or
- a stun baton or
- a C2 Taser !
The Pretender: $69.95
This stun gun looks like a cell phone and you can attach the holster to a belt or pants loop. It delivers quite a punch with 950,000 volts of electricity. It also has a powerful flashlight on it, too. It disarms and leaves them helpless while you get away to safety. For more information, click here.

SM500SB 20" Stun Baton: $55
Because of its power (500,000 volts) and extended reach, these Stun Master™ stun batons are a favorite with security guards. Simply touch an assailant with the baton and pull the trigger: three to five seconds will leave the assailant dazed and temporarily paralyzed. The baton will also deliver a shock when touched six inches from the tip, to prevent an assailant from grabbing it and taking it away.
No permanent damage. Full recovery within 5-10 minutes. For more information, click here.
The Taser C2: $349.99
The C2 taser was designed for personal use and will fire up to 15 feet away. This is a great weapon for the person not comfortable with a gun. It is very light-weight (6 ounces) and gives NO kick-back when fired. TASER technology provides one of the only non-lethal means of stopping an attacker. It is a safe and effective choice of self-defense. For more information, click here.
