It's safest to go camping/hiking with someone you don't like and that you can outrun.
Reminds me of the joke about the two guys that go camping, - and one has brought along his brand new adidas running shoes.....
"In case we get chased by a lion" he says.
"Why?" - says his mate .. "they won't make you able to run faster than a lion !!".
"No!" he says, ".. but I'll be able to run faster than you !!"
