backpack camping michigan image

Luke

i was looking to do some hiking/backpacking/camping and one of the must have items is a good knife. I would use this knife for cutting wood mostly. so would i need a CCW? I was looking at a ka-bar knife that has a 8" blade. i live in michigan, so would i need a CCW to carry this while hiking/camping?

Answer
No, you would not need a permit to carry the knife... but police don't like it when you have in on you in public, so don't wear it until you get to the area you'll be hiking in.

I have a few questions about bears in Michagain ?

Amy

I'm going backpacking threw the woods and camping right on lake michigan. Is it likely that I will see a bear. If so what kind and what would I do? And I also heard something about cougars or mountain loins or something that live up there.

Answer
If you see a bear it will be a black bear, most likely around a public campground with poor garbage discipline. Don't bring food into your tent, dispose of garbage properly, if you see a bear take pictures from 50 yards or so away. Don't mess with any wildlife babies.
