Canadian law, but for very few exceptions (trappers, prospectors, etc.) prohibits the wilderness carry of a pistol by a civilian. The loophole is that antique status pistols are perfectly legal but they must be open carry. Under a jacket or whatnot can leave you open to "carrying a concealed weapon" charge. In that vein, I have a mechanically excellent S&W 1st. Mod. DA in .44 Russian that I tote when I go off into the woods or bush. I was lucky in finding a Crossman holster that proved to be a perfect rig for open carry.
