One of my REO Grands with a full 6 ml tank and fresh 18650 battery, with a Reomizer 2.0 (RM2) rda on top. That's it. Smaller than a pack of cigarettes and good for up to 16 hours.
Same here. I also have a tiny zippered battery case from RTD Vapor that I use to carry a spare 6 ml bottle of juice, a spare 18650 and a piece of cotton ball in case I need to re-wick.

My guns haven't killed anyone, either. I have a 38 special off-duty w/2" barrel. I've only used it for backpacking which is strange because it won't do any more good against bears than your Glock, which is about zero.

Actually, I tend to think that 10mm would be fairly effective against bears, (esp with 15 in the mag), since it's just short of .41 magnum in power.

Regardless, my trail gun is a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 magnum... most definitely good bear-be-gone.

On trails I prefer to keep quiet and watch the wind, rather than pack heavy iron. Your bears aren't any bigger than ours.

C'mon now, don't (almost intentionally) misunderstand, I don't just walk along, firing for s'n'g... but it never hurts to come prepared, and that only weighs a few lbs. ;)

Short trip: 2x mini ego 350's with either mini pro or u-dct. They are pocketable. And don't dangle on the charger in the car if ever needed.

Long trip: a large cup in the cup holder of the car; 8 egos each with a tank on. When I feel like a different flavor I grab a different ego from my bouquet.

Overnight: my bouquet and mods. All filled. I never travel with bottles of juice. Unless I am bringing them home from allusions or mr e.

I move fast on the trail, quiet and smart. I cover ground fast. Every pound counts. I understand bigger is better for protection, but I choose my trail weapon as carefully as any of my other gear including stoves, water filters, bedding, food, etc. A bear is a bear. Unless you have something that will shatter the skull quickly on one shot and not with multiple shots you are SOL. My choice for a trail weapon is mostly determined by its effectiveness against human wilderness animals rather than bears. Bear attacks are less a worry on the trail than the human kind.

Yes, two-legged predators are the most dangerous kind.

Anyway, just a difference in philosophy between our choices for trail carry. We're dragging the thread OT at this point, so let's just leave it at that.
