Something that will get you through anything and always be there to fire. Something you can always count on, no matter what. Cold, heat, wet, dirt, mud, drops, falls, bites, claws.

Is there anything in your mind, that you trust to take all that and keep on tickin’?

      I reject the premise of the question. Different situations call for drastically different equipment:

      • A summer in the woods in Alaska poaching small game for food: bolt-action .22, maybe a CZ 457.
      • A winter in the woods in Alaska poaching small game for food: forget it. You’re going to die if you’re asking questions like this.
      • A desert island: flare gun.
      • Urban area, breakdown in social order in which you have gunfights with your neighbors over a rapidly dwindling supply of resources: Lincoln’s Repeater.
