I have been shot at twice hunting on "Public Land" in MT in the 80's and MT is a 400 square inch Blaze Orange state. Stay vigilant when your in the public woods... Great advice, good load out. Ruger 357 is an excellent choice of a walking around in the woods gun.
Good video. Back in the day as an 18th century long hunter reenacting we used tump lines to carry a bed roll. Today a wide leather belt could be used (also used as a strop for knife) to disperse weight across the shoulder. Bedroll would be wrapped in a light-weight oil cloth (today a silicone/nylon tarp) used as a ground cloth/shelter.
@@randalllybarger5625 nice the tum lines are great and im innovating a few now to see if the concept i want is obtainable. I think it will be of interest to the 2024 woodsman. As for the oil cloth i usually wrsp mine up insofe rhe bedroll allowing rhe bed tick to tske the brunt of the world around it. Simply due to how often i use mine and cost. Replace bed tic=30$ + shipping Replace worn doen or burned through/ briar sliced waxes csnvas tarp=275$+shipping. What are your thoughtd on a canvas strapped tump lime worh leather center cor comfort?
All of us have our different camping firearms. In the woods I like the Bond Arms Grizzle Derringer in the 45 long Colt or 410 shotgun shells ( 2 1/2 inch ones ) It's concealable so no one knows it is along with me. The shotgun shells are available in all sorts of shot sizes. There is even buckshot and a home defensive round with a 41 projectile and a couple of 36 cal balls included in each shell. A wide variety of different rounds to draw from. I like to refer to it as my hand held shotgun.
@@Oldsparkey lol mad max. 45 lc is an interesting round. I woulent wat to get hit with it. Do you run hot loads or the cowboy loads? Ive never seen em full loaded
@@offthecouch1999 I like and use the Cowboy Rounds for the 45. Shot shells ( #9's or 7 1/2 ) for the 410. The derringer is loaded with the 45 lower barrel since it is dead on with the top sights. The 410 shot shell in the top since that shoots a little high and shot does not need to be dead on.
I like that bedroll idea. I don't typically go for long hikes or camp anymore, however if I do decide to do an overnight I'll have to try your bedroll. Thanks for sharing.
@@gmanpublications no problem rhey should bw available soon. The ozark trail sleeping bag liner ia what i used for 10 ish years no problem. They are at walmart for 8 $ but they are smaller ans thinner than the one i make. Ive had no issues out of my ozark. But i needed a bigger size sonthe one i offer kn thw wbsite when it launches is the ine in the video
I order the orange one right after corporals video and you got it to me asap really like the system and size going to be great for my riverbank overnight fishing
@offthecouch1999 i carry a 22 ruger with snake shot. I have got some 38 shot for my 357 but never used it. Snakes arent much issue up here. But my grands are now in Ky and getting out in the woods more, as they are now old enough to do that with. We whacked a cotton mouth in the creek last month... ugh, I do not like them..
