I love this one from Fred Bear…
“If some of our teenage thrill seekers really want to go out and get a thrill let them go up into the North West and tango with a Grizzly bear, Polar bear, and the Brown Bear they will get their kicks and it will cleanse their souls.”
Carry something that can easily start a fire, a lighter perhaps. Fire is what probably helped cavemen to survive these razorbacks. Additionally you can use it to signal.
@doubleA
Ease up mate, your answer is far too serious and likely to scare off funny posters from here
A companion. A sexy girl would be nice.
What about a flamethrower? That way you get bacon and pork roast.

What about this?
If it can scare a bear… why not a fuckin’ hog?
Been hog hunting for many many years.
A very bright light will do little to fend off any big animal. Do not count on a light to fend off a wild large animal.
A big male boar, here in Fl, will most times charge you if you bother/surprise/corner it…
For some reason, unless the light is at point blank range to their eye, they seem to ignore it and see just fine. Even at point blank range they continue to stare it down not even turning their head. Never seen any light prevent coyote, hogs, bear, pack of coons, bobcats, etc, from still proceeding full speed ahead .
We have hogs here in FL, but they are not like the razor back boars you guys have in eastern EU. Razor back boars are suppose to be much more aggressive and mean, And larger then our half breed feral hogs here in the USA. And have bigger tusks to gore you with. Have seen our dogs get gored by big hogs and its not pretty. Have seen a lung puffing out from a bad gore on a 110lb pit bull. Now the dogs have Kevlar vests…lol.
Well, with no firearm, I’d carry a big sharp hunting knife on my side and some bear spray, the type that can spray 20’ in a strong thick stream. And if you have a big dog, keep him on his leash, do not let him go after the hog by himself. Just having the dog there barking like crazy will keep many animals at bay.

There should always be space for people to be super serial.
“Help! I’m being gored by a wild boar and I’m on fire!” :smiling_imp:
I have a bear spray that sprays at 30 feet and a dog but not a knife… i’m not sure if i would be able to kill a pig with a knife if it is charging at me
Hakuna Matata 
get a glock :laughing:
A can of bear spray for defense. A floody headlight for walking, and a C8 flashlight for spotting stuff in the distance. It’s all pretty light, and won’t be a bother to carry. Oh, and spare batteries.
I’m not sure if bear spray will stop a determined hog, but it’s better than nothing. At least it will give you some confidence on your walks, which otherwise will not be much fun.
Carry a sign.
That’s funny!
On my 2get list… 
get one of this
it useful to lighten up the situation
Don’t walk in the dark where wild hogs are likely to attack you.
^This
Absolutely.
And what the others have said previously is very true. The only thing a flashlight will do against a hog is hopefully light his eyes up from far away so you can avoid the situation entirely. I know a guy who was walking through the woods during the day, and a small one came out from under the bush he was bedding in and without provocation gored his leg and basically took his calf muscle off the bone and disappeared before he took his rifle off his back or knew what happened. I've personally stumbled onto one about 15m in front of me in the dark on a trail, and after realizing it wasn't a cow calf, shot it with a 365gr copper 12g slug, only to find it very much alive and angry 45 minutes later and finished with a pistol. Thankfully, I only got away with free pork and not a hospital stay. And thank God it took off in the opposite direction after the shot instead of right at me. It was totally capable of doing a ton of damage after taking a wound that would have put down almost anything else in North America, including bears. Those things have a layer of cartilage on the entire front half of their body to protect them from other boars' tusks when they fight. They're unpredictable and very difficult to kill or dissuade from charging when they want to. It's basically a small rhino. Just youtube search "boar attacks" or "wild hog attack hunting" and the first few vids should illustrate that hogs don't give a damn about an entire pack of dogs working together to take them down, being shot multiple times, Chuck Norris, a .57 caliber hollowpoint slug going 1800fps, El Chupacabra, really loud noises, or large groups of hunters wearing orange all around them and shooting at them. Once you're on the ground and close enough to a boar, even a powerful gun isn't certain security unless you're a great shot, or you can get up a tree very quickly. I doubt they care much about bear mace. You would think they're big plodding noise makers that are easy to avoid, but its eerie how quiet such a large animal can be. It's good to have bear mace, but I wouldn't count on it. Just try and spot them before either of you gets surprised by the other.
All pork related dangers and joking aside though, bring more than your cell phone for direction and tell someone else where you're going and when you'll be back. Walking around in the woods at night is fun and exciting, it is, but its also disorienting and dangerous, and the people who go searching for you won't appreciate it.
But man though, it must suck walking around unarmed in hog infested woods, eh?
anyone suggest a helicopter yet?
