Ditto on the dog. They'll keep lions and bears away unless its a sow with cubs then shoot the dog and run like hell. The story of the two old guys in Alaska going in to the bush, The onle gun they had was a .22 rifle, when asked how that was going to protect him from a bear attack he said " He'd shoot his buddy in the foot and run like hell. My dogs also keep elephants away cause we don't have an elephant within 100 miles . Have another hit.

In parts of India farmers wear masks with big eyes on the back of their heads, apparently it's something to do with tigers preferring to attack from the rear, the element of surprise and all that.

I'm going to suggest a Chuck Norris mask, what mountain lion is gonna mess with Chuck Norris???

that's an excellent idea.

someone should design a neck protector that's loaded with a potent lion deterrent compound. as usual it will strike from behind and your neck would be protected by the worn device, as soon as the lion bites into it the chemical agent is released into its mouth sending it running.

I would suggest watching "Continental Divide" with John Belushi. He was attacked by a cougar at camp and bit back. I don't think it was on its neck though.

Definitely, although if the poster didn't have one already and hiked without doggie that'd be sad :(. For the dog I mean.

Dog'll be able to sniff out any mountain kitty cat. Just about any breed that can handle a hike will do I reckon!
