I know, that's why I posted it.

I've got duct tape, bottled water, etc. Not enough freeze dried to suit my tastes. So I need advice from an armourer.

Be Seeing You,

Okay detailed advice is what you want detailed advice is what you will get. First, as a general survival rifle the .30-06 is an excellent choice it was the standard US Miltary round from 1906 to the 1950's. thus there is a whole lot of military surplus ammunition and reloads that are available nationwide and one might even say almost world wide. it is suitable for large North American game but some might prefer more power for Alaskan Brown bear.

I would also strongly recommend a sidearm. I can not prescibe any particular sidearm for you becuase I have not either taught you to shoot or seen you shoot. I can recommend that you purchase the largets caliber handgun you can comfortably shoot. A handgun is the tool for when you are working at something else and you need a firearm available. Sure a rifle is a better overall choice for longer range engagements but a handgun will be on your person when you have left the rifle to do something else that had to be done.
