Security kept pretty good tabs on folks at those remote sites. Wanted to know where you were heading, for how long, etc. Lots of good hiking to be had at PS04 after work! One time saw a live dall ram with its throat torn out between PS04 and atigun in March. First evening was a bloody mess, second he had a giant neck-icicle where I assume he had tried to drink from the creek (which was open). Dead on the 3rd day (flew over in helicopter), and someone had taken the head.
I can't remember for sure, but I think that security would check out bear spray to employees wanting to hike or run offsite at PS04. I never bothered.
