Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

[TacoMacs]

I typically always have a AK or AR platform in my rig while camping. It gets locked in the cab at night and a 9mm goes in the RTT when sleeping. When the government or others say you don’t need a firearm, then you NEED a firearm.

 

[Laurits]

I carry every day no matter where I go. It's just good sense to do that because deadly danger can arrive from anywhere for any reason at any time. You may never need it, but it's good to be prepared just in case you do.

 

[Bluesman]

Always, everyday, everywhere. No gun, No go!

 

[FishFam_logs]

Unless its specifically for practice shooting or hunting I do not carry.

 

[Chachie]

I carry a side arm when camping, hunting, hiking and really anytime I am out and about. My hunting/trailing grounds are AZ and NM mostly.

I do same and I raise you 1mm. I carry a Glock 20 10mm with hard cast bullets while camping so I can deal with two and four legged predators.

Always have a side arm when out and about in trails and camping.

I have never felt the need to carry any sort of firearm anywhere unless I am hunting. Maybe in polar bear country when I have to get out of a tent at night to relieve myself.

How do you feel about condoms?

How do you feel about condoms?

I don't think a condom would provide much protection against a wild animal attack. To each his own though!

 

[94Cruiser]

I bring my firearm when camping.

I'd rather have it and not ever use it than not have it and then find myself in need of it.

I've never had to use it.

I also bring a shovel, I've brought an axe, recovery gear, waterproof matches, emergency heat, extra food, extra clothes, extra fuel, trauma kit, and a SHTF backpack.

Never had to use them either but I wouldn't go anywhere without them.

After 30 years of marriage and a frozen bag of peas I don’t carry those either.

I think we started this thread while I was still in Alaska. As I said, I carried powerful and mostly big bore sidearms. I never change a winning strategy. There is something about a Toklat when big animals make your life complicated.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. I sleep well knowing that the Super Redhawk or his lever gun cousin are ready to send some .454 down range. Whoops, I just gendered a gun, I had better go apologize and tweet some virtue signals!

Not sure what all this means, nor what it has to do with me. Guns don’t have genders, though a Toklat is sexy. They’re simply tools. Relax, wouldn’t want you hyperventilating.

I have a Marlin lever action in 45-70 Govt in my expadition trailer. I have a HK MR762A1 in my truck. The HK looks like a big AR. Great rifle for shooting sounders of feral hogs. Hi cap mags are good to have when you are trying to shoot large groups of moving targets (feral hogs).

Immediately thought “Howdy Texan!”

Planning a trip to Big Bend NP. Talking to Texas groups, universally advised me to come prepared. Thing I’m nervous about is rattlers. We didn’t have snakes in Alaska, so my dogs don’t realize the danger.

My dogs have been bit many,many times by Copperhead and Water Moccasin. So many times that the vet ultimately sent injectable diphenhydramine hcl (benadryl) antibiotics and pain relievers to keep in my home inventory (I had 10 dogs). If I was taking a dog into rattlesnake country particularly one not conditioned to snakes, I would talk to my vet about the benadryl. They get bit around the face most of the time and the swelling can close their esophagus. Before being able to inject them I would just stuff caplets down their throat which is much slower acting and somewhat difficult/hazardous as well .

This is so very useful!! Thank you. Down to 4 now but they’re my babies.

For that area, snake shot is an option.

also, have your vet give the dogs the rattlesnake vaccine. It doesn’t stop the effects of a bite, but reduces and slows them.
