Well your mention of 'a truck full of tools and spare parts' indicated to me you were carrying more stuff than would be practical (or even necessary) for deep woods backpacking, which IF you have ever done you would understand.Not sure where I said all my adventures are in my truck,
I have done much backpacking and given the probability of shooting while backpacking (which is very low) I believe a good, functional gun one is confident with, and is proficient with is, all that is necessary.
See my attached pic - do you think a 'truck full' of 'tools and spare parts' would be practical (or even a possibility) under this type of experience?
This was a long time ago but I remember it was about 5 miles into the woods beyond any road or trail.
I wish people would get over their irrational fears of cougars, bears, etc. and throw on a backpack and go spend a couple nights out out in the woods and they might have a better understanding of 'the woods' than just reading about it and what 'gun' they fantasize about needing for 'woods defense'.
