Bad things can happen anywhere and sometimes do, but none of the near-miss experiences in my life (and I, like many others, have had several) happened in the backcountry. If you limit, curtail or miss backcountry experiences as a result of living fearfully, I can assure you that you will miss some of the most rewarding and memorable times of your life. As an aside, some of my most potentially perilous encounters have occurred while I was in a vehicle, when I was armed while hunting or when I was at a boat launch, in each case where unskilled, unruly and/or just plain obnoxious people likely using alcohol were involved. Few backpackers carry booze (maybe some an occasional bottle of chardonnay) or guns--just too much weight.
