Pavo,

You are perhaps 100% correct on the the .22lr. The only other choice I would throw in there is a shotgun. I really think that in the situation described those are the only two choices. I guess it depends on how long you anticipate having to survive. I'd say the longer the outlook the better the .22lr is looking.

I don't know how many on here have a possibilities bag. However, mine just gets bigger and bigger every year that I learn something new in the woods. A lot of things can happen when your out in the woods and don't have a fully furnished house to go to.
