So, among other measures, I am planning on hiking more this coming year to improve my health situation. I was blessed this Christmas with a new backpack from my parents and a book my beloved wife gave me:
I've already bookmarked several hikes that look very interesting. I got to thinking about carry pieces whilst hiking. Over the years, I've generally carried this concealed:
It is a Taurus 605 in .357 Magnum, loaded with .38 Special +P rounds, and two reloads on strips (one ball the other ratshot). I'll likely stick to this, but, as I have a good holster for it, it is more accurate, and offers two more rounds, considering packing the Smith & Wesson instead:
Which brings me to the question; what do you carry on hikes? Enjoy.
