Because I don't like the idea walking in the mountain that been million years before humans ever in earth in the night only hoping for flashlight and fucking rock you expect to face a wildlife or even the creature that been there for thousand years..
@@cateatingsushi4108You do realize he said "why go WITHOUT a gun" not "why go WITH a gun" he agrees with you that its dumb to go out into the wilderness without one. As to why go without, unfortunately there are certain places and situations where there may not be time or means to carry a firearm with you. They are few and far bettween but they do exist.
I typically camp alone and am a 64 year old white guy that carries a few extra pounds. I may be a target but I will not be a victim. Some people think I am paranoid. With the crazy nutballs and druggies that are out there, you bet I 'm paranoid. But also prepared.
@@DavidWaldrip I do but he is purely a companion pet. He's about 15# poodle/bichon mix. He's a good watch dog/first alert but not really a protection animal.
@@ChefDuane Nothing wrong with that. He loves you and will also alert you to any potential intruders into your campsite. Good doggo! Stay safe out there friend 🏕️
Correction: Most National Parks do allow firearms. They don't allow firearms in any of the park facilities but in the park itself most do allow firearms. Unless this has changed in the last few months.
I was about to comment the same thing. Allowed in the park, not in any federal buildings. Also, it must be open carry. No concealed carry allowed from what I remember. I have experience doing this while backpacking in Big Bend National Park. You can take them into bathrooms and and such "facilities" that are not inside of the federal building such as an office or visitor center.
Yes you are correct, but it’s against federal law to fire a gun in a national park for any reason. So you can protect yourself against wildlife or crazy people, but you will go to jail if you get caught doing so and lose your gun rights forever.
I saw a video of a man camping remotely, and some guy came up to his site while he was cooking dinner, in the middle of nowhere. He shared his meal and the guy left. The camper didn't feel right so got out of dodge. went back the next morning and his site was ravashed. He thinks a group targeted him and was planning to rob him or worse. After seeing that video I decided I'll never go camping unarmed again. Let alone dangerous wildlife risk, where I live there are bears, wild cats, and coyotes.
My son and i went hiking today in our woods and my neighbors woods i had my 12.5 ARP with extra 30 rounds we have all kinds of potential threats where we live here in Southeast Missouri...i love just hanging out in the woods listening to the peace.
I like to bring a Mossberg 500 with a light and Velcro side saddle . if I want to go grab some squirrels or some rabbits I can when in season. it is still a very affective tool for self defense out to 200 yards. plus its cheap so you dont care about it getting scraped
First, you can carry in National Parks, but they have special rules. Second, if you are going to the woods and taking a vehicle, then have options to open carry, concealed carry, and bring a long gun. That short .300 is nice, but bring a long gun. Maybe a gun you could hunt deer or small game or take a long shot in the woods with. Don't be afraid to strap that long gun to your chest or backpack. Also, strap that pistol to your hip OWB. If you are backpacking and your hip is covered up then use a fanny or chest rig. It is much harder for someone to sneak up on you or be in your presence without you knowing so having a concealed carry is less important. Additionally, if you are in an area with predators, then remember that they are much faster and more violent than humans when they want to be. Open carry is just smart. Also, depending on what you are doing in woods, have options for light or heavy loadouts. Keep all this in your truck. You have the space, use it wisely.
Local Littleton guy here. I open carry on the trail when climbing 14ers. I carry more when just camping. I protect myself from any attacking wild animal, including humans. I fear humans more than wildlife. And open carrying with a full backpack and gear, the gun won't really stick out to their eyes, and if it does I don't really care. I carry a full size 40 with an extra mag and that's another couple pounds added to my regular gear, but I figure my life and peace of mind are worth it. Helps me sleep at night. For wildlife I'd probably just have to shoot the ground so they hear it and feel it in the ground. Humans are actually more dangerous. And the weapon-light I carry on my sidearm is the most powerful light I have on a climbing trip. I prefer the Olight PL-Pro Valkyrie @ 1500 lumens and disorienting strobe that would mess with even a bear's mind. That powerful strobe is a defensive weapon in and of itself, even in downtown anywhere.
I like the deterrence mindset, especially with the strobe light you mentioned. Even without a gun, a small tactical flashlight with that feature is nice to have.
@@vikramgupta2326 I can't agree more. I had never experienced a powerful strobe light before, and I'd not even experienced a light that goes over 1000 lumens until last year. Both the power and the strobe are equally important. At 1200 lumens a modern LED strobe light is a powerful psychological weapon - I don't care what the animal is. However, full discloser, I have no field experience. I have no experience in what I'm talking about, except that I have seen that affect on me. I have used it on myself, and it's a mind-bender. (Edit) When the lights go out the brain tries to adapt, and does a great job in any animal, but when dark goes to brights to dark to brights... any brain of any animal is going to play catch-up and be lost. That's my theory.
Rest his soul, My buddy got killed by a bear while fishing carrying a nine mil. They found the bear a mile away with 18 shots. So it will kill a bear unfortunately in this case not quick enough.
@@mok2323 so it’s a fine line between wich rounds you can be accurate with but at the same time be able to put rounds out quickly I have a 45acp that I make my loads specifically for the occasion so I have hard casts in bear bear country I’d also recommend the 10 mil but that being said you want a front heavy pistol so you level out while aiming
I agree with everything in this video accept the fact that he's not carrying more ammo in boxes stored in his car for both firearms. Being that he travels to remote places.
I'm glad to be in the UK where it's not necessary to carry a gun when camping. We only take them when we're hunting or doing pest control on our own property. Sadly we killed all our bears around 1000 years ago, and our last wolf was shot in 1680.
To quote a much wiser man than myself "the odds that you will need to use that firearm are SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the chances of you running into legal trouble because of having that firearm in a non-permissive environtment". Maybe its different in your locality however in mine there are a great many public forests and public camping grounds where it IS legal to have a gun with you. If possible its just better to avoid areas where they are prohibited all together. Just like buisnesses if they are hostile to my beliefs I will not waste my time and money on them.
perhaps a concealed pocket pistol in my pocket to defend myself when I am resting during camping . If someone tries to sneak up on me at night when I feel very sleepy , it will be hard for me to find the rifle or pistol inside my backpack .
Old Delta Operators like Larry Vickers, Brian Searcy, Pat MacNamarq, and Kyle Lamb used 1911s until the unit went to Glock a few ears ago. Even General Scotty Austin, Delta officer who later rose to 4 star and became commander of US forces in Iraq, packed a 1911 on his hip. Lots of pictures of him packing a 1911 on Google. He recently went to so customized Glock. As a 4 star can carry whatever he wants and no one will tell him otherwise.
Don't subordinate or sell your LE training and experience short to the Military. The Military, even Delta, has a different mission under different circumstances. From your comment I surmise you were LE like me. You have done an infinite number of shoot don't shoot, building searches, and enforcement actions in urban/country settings in the US. Here we have laws, scrutiny, and Rights to contend with. Mil mostly does not. While there are things we can learn from the Military, there are many things they can learn from LE. Just a thought!
Sort of refreshing to hear the emphasis on the veracity of 9 mm and know how to use the whatever platform you select. I agree that will cover you 99% of the time. Personally, though, I have decided I'm not going in any bear country.
Triple J Armory, Thank you very much for uploading this highly informative and fun video. I have one question though. How difficult is maintaining the red dot when camping, hiking, or hunting, particularly in bad weather, and can the gun still be used effectively if it got dirty (obviously one can clean it when at camp, but I mean the period when you are still hiking)? Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to answer my question.
So you have two types of dots mainly, Open and closed emitter. Most are open which can lead to dirt, dust and general grime getting in and potentially blocking off or messing with the emitter which renders the optic kinda useless. Closed emitter all these issues are pretty much solved and mitigated minus stuff getting on the outside glass which can just be wiped off. This is why I always preach to have back up options when using a red dot or really any optic on any platform. for a pistol having some back up ( suppressor height ) irons that can co-witness with the red dot could be very valuable and are a relatively cheap back up option to have. In general though depending on how you carry it is unlikely that you are going to be in a situation that causes the red dot to be that dirty or messed up to the point that it isn't useable. Hope that helps!
Gun, paint ball pistol, taser, high power flashlight, sling shot, BB gun if you already have BBs, baton, spear, pepper spray, baseball bats, sword, hammer, axe. Fire works, knives, hard gloves or brass knuckles. Multiple people, dogs, bloody meat to toss on the predator, like get wild life on your side, armor is important too, laser pointers.
I personally carry a micro 9mm for my EDC but I take a 10mm XDM Elite with a light and red dot camping and hiking. Bear and mountain lion country where I’m at
Whenever i be camping i always carry conceal even when wild life ranger or park ranger come to camp site and ask if anyone got firearm i Don't tell them i am arm why they got to know ?
I own a farm and I only have one Rifle for the sole purpose of culling pests on my farm, I've been camping out all over the country and in remote places and never needed to carry any kind of firearm. 👍 My Ego is big enough LOL.🤭
I bring my Glock 21 in 45ACP, and I have an AK Underfolder that will fit in a backpack. It might sound like overkill, but better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
It's spelled dispersed. And it's not scary. It's just better. If anything, the thought of having to camp next to strangers who're running their RV generators at all hours, their screaming kids, dogs barking, whatever... THAT is what is scary to me. LMAO.
I do my best to carry where it is legally permitted. Thankfully my entire state is relatively pro-gun and national parks in the area do allow perimtted carry. It's unfortunate that other jurisdictions and countries are much less freindly to rights like 2nd amendment. Unfortunately part of being law abiding citizen is obeying the rules until we succed at changing them. Its what separates us from criminals and rioters.
I work L.E. south of the border. The outdoors is not what it used to be. Couple of months ago I was hiking with my 2 youngest daughters and older son and a guy comes up running on the trail behind us asking for help to get his 4 wheeled bike back on the trail since he supposedly ran off the trail a ways back but we didnt see any tracks on the narrow trail we were in. Turned out he did had an accident and indeed needed help but the " what if " was always on the back of my mind and It was the one day I didnt carry. So I decided to never do that again and carry my issued h.g. in an empty Camelbak ( no bladder)fanny pack since it blends in with our gear and activities. It also helps to have a " code" word or phrase for your family or group to say when you sense danger and there are other people present and a corresponding s.o.p. Best wishes to everyone out there camping or on the trail. )
You’re very wrong about National Parks, believe it or not Obama passed a law on that which allows you to carry inside parks if the state the park is in allows it
So in the video, at around the 11 minute and 40 second mark, YOU said that carry is not legal in MOST national parks. You, YOURSELF, should learn the law before you spread falsehoods around. According to FEDERAL LAW (which has supremecy over national parks) carrying a firearm in national parks is perfectly legal as long as it’s okay in the state where the park is situated to open and/or concealed carry, generally. Only in the buildings located on all national park lands is it illegal to carry your firearm. I am very surprised that YOU PEOPLE DID NOT KNOW THIS and are providing bad information. Kindly get your facts right in the future.
Good advice, but these people are not experts, so don't get worked up setting them straight. What needs to be said is that the people who watch these videos should stop staking their lives and actions on the advice of a dude on a RUclips video.
Glock isn’t bad to carry but 10mm is the best to carry if you are going to carry a handgun. With the exception of your larger caliber revolvers above .38spl.
I like a big 686 or Python on my hip for around the campsite/cabin. I'd like to carry something pretty and interesting when I'm outdoors. I think it's honestly ridiculous you can't defend yourself in national parks but in all fairness guns have been used to vandalize property and poach wildlife in the parks for a long time, of the consequences for doing it weren't so high I would say as long as you aren't illegally discharging it it shouldn't be anyone else's business
G26/G23👑💨🦌🐗🐻 are the only two you’ll ever need edc both, keep HPs(HST/Winnie’s) in the oem standards and CDuty/FPFMJ/underwoods in marked extds 💨🚘🐗🐻,and 10.5 AR/AKP folder best for EDC but don’t fold ARs 10.5s collapse 1click with 20rd starters and belt/chest rig fits 🎾🎻🎸🧳😎
A nine mm can go a long distance. Just about any caliber will travel a long distance. Just saying. BTW, have you ever had to point the gun at anyone while camping much less pull the trigger?
Ive been looking up the laws on carrying in Maryland state parks and apparently its illegal to do so. Does anyone have any experience with this? There seems to be a lot of conflicting info. Like what if i just have it in my car and transport it to my tent while camping ? Seems like a dumb law especially if you have your CCW license.
New subscriber and will check your friend channel as well , but the Tacoma it’s a❤🎉❤🎉❤ … thanks for the content guys , learned something today , Blessings ✌🏼🙏
I know you are a very experienced traveler but you are wrong about national parks and firearms. That change was made back in the day, I was actually working in Yellowstone as a summer employee.
Love the honey badger. Enjoy the conversation and point of view. I would have liked to hear what you do in more restrictive states?. I’m up in Canada and of course highly restrictive made options limited but benefit of federally licensing is that same rules apply nation wide. And since we can’t take pistols to the bush without basically a trappers license or licensed hunting guide those are not options. Add in Liberals just put through a freeze/ban on pistols. So all of us grandfathered are the last generation to own pistols and as we die so will the guns to the Chopin block. No more handing down, selling, gifting, nothing! That being said my two back woods, and we have a whole lot here, are my .357 mag lever gun with red dot and light. Second is my custom 870. Again red dot and light but I keep on hand bear defence rounds rubber buck and/or slugs. Respect wildlife and I do hunt but when camping and the wildlife get a little to comfortable I prefer to give them a reminder and send them in their way before euthanizing them.
The statement concerning firearms in national parks is a common misconception. Since 2010 lawful concealed carriers are permitted in most national parks. Double check before traveling. When traveling in Yellowstone & Glacier in recent years, it was not uncommon to see people open carry.
I spent way too long trying to figure out why there was no voice audio until I finally read a comment saying it was painful to watch with headphones... no voice in the right channel...
Talon is one of the reasons i started to edc especially appendix carry, Talon is also the reason why my first Glock was from AgencyArms. 😅 ooh and i tried Jägermeister… he could keep that last one 😂
Anybody that puts thought-to-lips with a question like, “why bring a gun camping,” is an absolute ‘tard. Look around these days…. Not having a gun at camp is like not having a fire extinguisher or smoke detector in your house these days.
I recommend choosing a gun that is 50 state legal. I always have my grandfathers old detective 38 special in a pocket holster or in a fanny pack. Ammo strips are tiny and thin. If I’m ever in a defensive scenario a couple pops to the belly is what I expect to be forced into if the sight of a revolver still doesn’t stop an idiot. Plus 38 revolvers are legal in almost all states. I also carry a good old fashioned 12g shotgun. Mega powerful and again legal in almost all states. Both guns aren’t tactical and most cops don’t think much of them if you tell them you have them. Do you have any guns on you? Yes officer. An old revolver and an old shotgun. Cool. Don’t touch yours and I won’t touch mine. Understood sir.
Why go camping without a gun is more of a question. I wach a lot of solo camping videos and most are spooky. And hardly none of these campers are armed with only a knife. I get the British can't get them but in America you would be a fool to go solo camping without a firearm.
If you don't walk around with a gun on your hip being a loudmouth, most people wont care. I prefer to keep concealed. Have it under a coat or shirt. Easy to get to yet doesnt raise any complaints from Karens "oh he is carrying a gun!" If im truck camping, I can toss in a 12 gauge shotgun loaded woth 00 buck and sabot slugs for big predators or insistent 2 legged predators. Im a 1911 .45 giy but in the woods, my FN FNX .45 is better. 15 rounds per magazine and 2 loaded spare mags is a lot of firepower. The stainless steel slide is coated in corrosion resistent finish and with a thermopolymer frame it is a great outdoor pistol. Impervious to weather, snow, rain, salt, sun.
Do we really need to go DEEP in nature to enjoy it? Leave the animals something. I have a "Mc Donalds" rule. If I can't get to Mc Donalds before it closes for the evening, Ive hiked too far into nature.
The more accurate question is " why would you go in the woods without a gun??!!
Because I don't like the idea walking in the mountain that been million years before humans ever in earth in the night only hoping for flashlight and fucking rock you expect to face a wildlife or even the creature that been there for thousand years..

I agree with most of what they shared here, however, I still have a question to ask...why not to bring into the woods a Glock 20 instead (also)?
I love that this video starts out explaining Man vs Bear before Man vs Bear even happened.
Carry a trusty Norinco while hiking. I always get the question if im hunting. Nope. Just for protection. And the foul looks i get. 😅😊
Yeah that's a bit ridiculous.
Talons the best!!!
I personally carry a micro 9mm for my EDC but I take a 10mm XDM Elite with a light and red dot camping and hiking. Bear and mountain lion country where I’m at
I camp with a G20, tlr1, kkm, Underwood EP.
Great informational video. Thank you.
Will never camp or hike anywhere without concealed carry ever - criminals don’t obey any laws
Out in the woods, when minutes count, help is hours away
Last Line Of Defense makes the most comfortable appendix rigs I’ve ever worn.
Whenever i be camping i always carry conceal even when wild life ranger or park ranger come to camp site and ask if anyone got firearm i Don't tell them i am arm why they got to know ?
I own a farm and I only have one Rifle for the sole purpose of culling pests on my farm, I've been camping out all over the country and in remote places and never needed to carry any kind of firearm. 👍 My Ego is big enough LOL.🤭
Going into the woods?
Rule number one always carry a gun.
Bro said “full size Glock 19”…
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it legal to carry in National Parks except inside the buildings/federal building within the National Park?
I bring my Glock 21 in 45ACP, and I have an AK Underfolder that will fit in a backpack. It might sound like overkill, but better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Agree, Not likely to need to protect from wildlife, as they generally have respect for other living things... whereas some humans sometimes do not.
Dang good promotions ill give him that!
Dispursed camping is way more scarry that typical camping
It's spelled dispersed. And it's not scary. It's just better. If anything, the thought of having to camp next to strangers who're running their RV generators at all hours, their screaming kids, dogs barking, whatever... THAT is what is scary to me. LMAO.

Talon sent me. 👍
I do my best to carry where it is legally permitted. Thankfully my entire state is relatively pro-gun and national parks in the area do allow perimtted carry. It's unfortunate that other jurisdictions and countries are much less freindly to rights like 2nd amendment.
Unfortunately part of being law abiding citizen is obeying the rules until we succed at changing them. Its what separates us from criminals and rioters.
I work L.E. south of the border. The outdoors is not what it used to be. Couple of months ago I was hiking with my 2 youngest daughters and older son and a guy comes up running on the trail behind us asking for help to get his 4 wheeled bike back on the trail since he supposedly ran off the trail a ways back but we didnt see any tracks on the narrow trail we were in. Turned out he did had an accident and indeed needed help but the " what if " was always on the back of my mind and It was the one day I didnt carry. So I decided to never do that again and carry my issued h.g. in an empty Camelbak ( no bladder)fanny pack since it blends in with our gear and activities. It also helps to have a " code" word or phrase for your family or group to say when you sense danger and there are other people present and a corresponding s.o.p. Best wishes to everyone out there camping or on the trail. )
Carry my glock 20 and 19 while hiking and camping.
You’re very wrong about National Parks, believe it or not Obama passed a law on that which allows you to carry inside parks if the state the park is in allows it
So in the video, at around the 11 minute and 40 second mark, YOU said that carry is not legal in MOST national parks. You, YOURSELF, should learn the law before you spread falsehoods around. According to FEDERAL LAW (which has supremecy over national parks) carrying a firearm in national parks is perfectly legal as long as it’s okay in the state where the park is situated to open and/or concealed carry, generally. Only in the buildings located on all national park lands is it illegal to carry your firearm. I am very surprised that YOU PEOPLE DID NOT KNOW THIS and are providing bad information. Kindly get your facts right in the future.
Well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾bro
Good advice, but these people are not experts, so don't get worked up setting them straight. What needs to be said is that the people who watch these videos should stop staking their lives and actions on the advice of a dude on a RUclips video.
Hell, Talon whipped his gun out and did not immediately check it for safety purposes.
"I'm sorry Mr perfect! I guess I forgot you never ever make a mistake!"
He did qualify his statement that he wasn’t the one to be able to speak on it.
New to the platform. Cheers!!!
Good video but my right ear is lonely.
😂 yaaaaa dont worry we fixed that issue
😂
For the outdoors I would say for the Skinwalkers
Glock isn’t bad to carry but 10mm is the best to carry if you are going to carry a handgun. With the exception of your larger caliber revolvers above .38spl.
Be careful, you can carry in national parks but you have to follows all gun laws in the state the park is located.
Glad you came across my feed! Excellent video brother, stay dangerous! SUBSCRIBED
I like a big 686 or Python on my hip for around the campsite/cabin. I'd like to carry something pretty and interesting when I'm outdoors. I think it's honestly ridiculous you can't defend yourself in national parks but in all fairness guns have been used to vandalize property and poach wildlife in the parks for a long time, of the consequences for doing it weren't so high I would say as long as you aren't illegally discharging it it shouldn't be anyone else's business
Its legal to carry in National Parks.
G26/G23👑💨🦌🐗🐻 are the only two you’ll ever need edc both, keep HPs(HST/Winnie’s) in the oem standards and CDuty/FPFMJ/underwoods in marked extds 💨🚘🐗🐻,and 10.5 AR/AKP folder best for EDC but don’t fold ARs 10.5s collapse 1click with 20rd starters and belt/chest rig fits 🎾🎻🎸🧳😎
Even with a gun, I would steer clear of camping in national parks. Too many cases of people going missing there. Very sus.
You can't live in fear. Even going to the grocery store is "SUS". You have to be prepared, not scared.
My test levels dropped a little after watching this.
A nine mm can go a long distance. Just about any caliber will travel a long distance. Just saying.
BTW, have you ever had to point the gun at anyone while camping much less pull the trigger?
Need me a set like that
Ive been looking up the laws on carrying in Maryland state parks and apparently its illegal to do so. Does anyone have any experience with this? There seems to be a lot of conflicting info. Like what if i just have it in my car and transport it to my tent while camping ? Seems like a dumb law especially if you have your CCW license.
I'm going camping with my friends and I was wondering if I should bring my AK what do y'all think?? I don't have a handgun because I'm only 19
Why not.
Bring it.
Also add batteries
Dumb question,... why carry a gun? Are you kidding me. Carry everyday everywhere in todays world.
New subscriber and will check your friend channel as well , but the Tacoma it’s a❤🎉❤🎉❤ … thanks for the content guys , learned something today , Blessings ✌🏼🙏
Carrying in National Parks is only legal with a CCW
Depends on the state.
I seen another video that said you cannot open carry a gun on federal property which would be the forest
Turn your volume up
Its allways the 2 leged that you need to worry about over the 4 leged like my dad says 😆
I know you are a very experienced traveler but you are wrong about national parks and firearms. That change was made back in the day, I was actually working in Yellowstone as a summer employee.
Love the honey badger. Enjoy the conversation and point of view. I would have liked to hear what you do in more restrictive states?. I’m up in Canada and of course highly restrictive made options limited but benefit of federally licensing is that same rules apply nation wide. And since we can’t take pistols to the bush without basically a trappers license or licensed hunting guide those are not options. Add in Liberals just put through a freeze/ban on pistols. So all of us grandfathered are the last generation to own pistols and as we die so will the guns to the Chopin block. No more handing down, selling, gifting, nothing!
That being said my two back woods, and we have a whole lot here, are my .357 mag lever gun with red dot and light. Second is my custom 870. Again red dot and light but I keep on hand bear defence rounds rubber buck and/or slugs. Respect wildlife and I do hunt but when camping and the wildlife get a little to comfortable I prefer to give them a reminder and send them in their way before euthanizing them.
300blk out for the skin walkers😁
The statement concerning firearms in national parks is a common misconception. Since 2010 lawful concealed carriers are permitted in most national parks. Double check before traveling. When traveling in Yellowstone & Glacier in recent years, it was not uncommon to see people open carry.
I just watched a video of "vegan camp" and it was the scariest thing I ever seen in my life.
Mossberg 500 loaded with 3" slugs. I'm not going to be a meal for a Bear or Sasquatch.
I don't go to my own back yard without a gun let alone camping . Dumb question .
😂
Hell yeah. Same here, brother. If I’m awake, I’m carrying. Even in the house.
I spent way too long trying to figure out why there was no voice audio until I finally read a comment saying it was painful to watch with headphones... no voice in the right channel...
Ik same!!! 😅
Getting eaten by a bear or carrying a gun when I’m not supposed to….. yeah, that’s a simple choice!!! Haha 😂
LOOK AT DUDES FACE WHEN HE SAID 43X. HAHAHA
Talon is one of the reasons i started to edc especially appendix carry, Talon is also the reason why my first Glock was from AgencyArms. 😅 ooh and i tried Jägermeister… he could keep that last one 😂
Anybody that puts thought-to-lips with a question like, “why bring a gun camping,” is an absolute ‘tard. Look around these days…. Not having a gun at camp is like not having a fire extinguisher or smoke detector in your house these days.
Hey thanks for watching the video! surely you can deduce that this video is for entertainment and not a normal conversation.
Then stay home.
@@kenjkbs Why stay at home when I have a means to protect myself when out in the bush? Don’t be scared.
The Glock Socks!
I recommend choosing a gun that is 50 state legal.
I always have my grandfathers old detective 38 special in a pocket holster or in a fanny pack. Ammo strips are tiny and thin.
If I’m ever in a defensive scenario a couple pops to the belly is what I expect to be forced into if the sight of a revolver still doesn’t stop an idiot. Plus 38 revolvers are legal in almost all states.
I also carry a good old fashioned 12g shotgun. Mega powerful and again legal in almost all states.
Both guns aren’t tactical and most cops don’t think much of them if you tell them you have them.
Do you have any guns on you?
Yes officer. An old revolver and an old shotgun.
Cool. Don’t touch yours and I won’t touch mine.
Understood sir.
No one has killed an adult bear with a 9mm and 5.56 has more ballistic capability than 300 lk.
Not out of short barrels.
Glock 19 is compact gun Glock 17 is full size Glock
Why go camping without a gun is more of a question. I wach a lot of solo camping videos and most are spooky. And hardly none of these campers are armed with only a knife. I get the British can't get them but in America you would be a fool to go solo camping without a firearm.
If you don't walk around with a gun on your hip being a loudmouth, most people wont care. I prefer to keep concealed. Have it under a coat or shirt. Easy to get to yet doesnt raise any complaints from Karens "oh he is carrying a gun!" If im truck camping, I can toss in a 12 gauge shotgun loaded woth 00 buck and sabot slugs for big predators or insistent 2 legged predators. Im a 1911 .45 giy but in the woods, my FN FNX .45 is better. 15 rounds per magazine and 2 loaded spare mags is a lot of firepower. The stainless steel slide is coated in corrosion resistent finish and with a thermopolymer frame it is a great outdoor pistol. Impervious to weather, snow, rain, salt, sun.
Am I the only one who didn’t get any audio?
Insane decision to go stereo hard left on the audio
Flagging his own knee cap and the camera man’s balls
Enjoyable commercial
"9mm has killed more bears than 10mm" Sorce? Trust me bro.
People carry 9mm more, so it's definitely survivor bias
7:07 that is not true their are million of hunters that have killed bears with 10 mm and made the 10 mm higher in kills on bears
Am I the only one that can’t hear any audio in this video?
Dude I've watched your camping videos. Taco or van. You must do a real good job of concealing, or your not carrying. For bears, 12 ga with slug shot.
Do we really need to go DEEP in nature to enjoy it? Leave the animals something. I have a "Mc Donalds" rule. If I can't get to Mc Donalds before it closes for the evening, Ive hiked too far into nature.
