Once I had something of an epiphany and realized if I ever broke down out in the way back, my first thought would not be “I had better go small game hunting!”

I traded the Savage for 3 sets of really nice elk stag grips, and put a half dozen MREs in its place.

Its a fun concept, though.
My get home bag has the 22/20 Savage 24, 550 rds of 22 lr, 75 of #5 bird shot, 15 #3 buck and 15 slugs. If I can get within bow range I would be happy. I also have a HS Sentinel 9 shot revolver in the bag.
