About 180k. It got a new motor at about 80k, thanks to some kind of a dealer maintenance screw-up. It's been a great truck for me.

Probably the most popular and effective bear defense combination. What you gain in effectiveness and ease of use is somewhat of a trade-off for handiness, though. A revolver on the hip is just so much easier to carry and to go about doing other things, plus it's faster to get into action. The revolver is far less effective even with good hits, and much harder to get those good hits. It's all a big trade-off in the end.
