I've camped all over northern California and have never been threatened let alone felt threatened.

And, as I answer when folks question my being a woman and camping alone, I am at more risk in my home town shopping, etc., then I am out in the forest. A criminal waiting in a dark alley in town will find a victim a lot faster than one waiting behind a tree in the forest...

This times 100. I'm more of a target at the local grocery store than I am camping off of a logging road. Predators are looking for easy prey - they are more likely to find that at the mall than they are in a dispersed camping area.
