"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go." ~ T. S. Eliot



For those who didn't see my other thread, my plan is to journey alone deep into the wilderness with only as much gear as can be carried on my back. I am NOT TAKING THIS LIGHTLY. After much consideration, I have decided to include a high velocity air rifle. The small size of .177 pellets will enable me to carry thousands of them, and thus hunt far more squirrels and rabbits than I could with a .22 rifle.

For self defense against large animals (or an opportunistic chance at medium sized game) I also have a sidearm.

2 one-liter canteens
