Over 40 years I've been trail riding, horsecamping and never have had a 'close encounter' with a wild animal.

But encounters with wild animals are becoming more common as more people ride deeper into wilderness and wander along trails. Unfortunately, a lot of these people have no idea what to do if they come face to face with a wild critter and that not-knowing-what-to-do can get a person in deep trouble! Mike Lapinski is an outdoor writer, photographer who has spent thousands of hours in the outdoors and is one of the most qualified persons in America to writer about handling dangerous situations with wild animals. Chapters include Overcoming Outdoor Fears, Mountain Lions, Black Bears, Wild Pigs, Snakes and more. One should NEVER be afraid of riding outdoors but one should ALWAYS be aware of surroundings and what to do if a wild critter suddenly steps out on a trail in front of you and your horse.
