I always take 2 rifles on trips away from home. The back up gun on deer hunts was quite often a 30/30 lever gun. The Canadian trips the backup is what was considered a Canoe Gun. This would be a tested rifle but not something that would bring tears if it was damaged or lost. It is going to happen sooner or later no matter how much care you take.
On one occasion in northern Ontario I flipped and lost everything and had to spend the night being ate up by mosquito and black flies. Sent to bottom a Remington 600 350mg. That was 1973 I’m sure it’s now made it into Hudson Bay.
