In this video we discuss the top 5 guns you would likely want to have in a wilderness walk out situation. We know that some of these concepts may be a little outlandish but you never know when you might find yourself in a situation where you have to make that type situation or prepare for that scenario. If anything, it was a great chance to talk about some awesome guns! Thanks for watching.

"If you have to fish with a gun - Which is illegal, but in a survival situation, who cares? I hope a game warden finds me."
Lol
It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
@@joelspringman7748 lol
I mean...he has a very valid point
9mm for the hoods, 10mm for the woods. 😎✌
Andrew Smith I will steal that slogan... I pack both on me for the woods. 9mm for the wolf's and alike, 10mm for smokey
Quyen Le steal away bro...the 10mm is back and it's here to stay!!
Duffer Man i hear they do that in Thailand.

Ima steal that slogan
Rest in Peace Barry, Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Gone too soon.
I lived in Alaska for 37 years, and shot 11 Bears. But the terrain or the weather will kill you before the bears will....
Very true
How could the terrain kill you exactly?
Alaska has many mountains that are very steep, and dangerous, also rivers that are very tricky and dangerous. Search and rescue was always pulling bodies off mountains and out of rivers during the 37 years I lived there. I even participated in searches for " self proclaimed experienced hikers and hunters " The terrain in any state can be dangerous, but when you add remoteness in the mix it compounds the dangers. Although I've shot 11 bears, and have seen hundreds of them, some of my worst close calls were almost dieing on rivers or steep terrain.
John Ganshow No doubt if you're unprepared to survive in the harsh environment that Alaska can throw on you, you had better stay home!
Herchel, You open your mouth makes you look like a fool. I lived and hunted in Alaska for 37 years. Keep your mouth shut, then people won't know you're a fool...
When I lived in Alaska, I would fire a couple of rounds from my .44 into a stump or something whenever I was about to go into the woods. As soon as bears hear gunfire, they almost always vacate the area. We also talked really loud and yelled while walking down the trail. I never had a bear come anywhere near me when I did that.
I always do that too when I go wood cutting. I would target practice first then cut wood. Never had a wolf come near me.
Yeah I'd think your a nut job if I was a bear and some guy yelling and shooting in my neck of the woods 😂
So that's why Americans always talk loud and go yeehaw while shooting random stuff 🤣
When me and my dad go fishing in the upper peninsula Michigan, my dad carries a 44 magnum on his side and then he has a 45-70 henry slung over his shoulder. Those two guns are excellent for going out into the wilderness!
Very smart. I can't believe how many people trudge around in the wild unarmed!
A 12 gauge shotgun with 00 byck snd solid slugs will be bad medicine for predators both 2 legged and four legged types. So woukd an M1A or my FN SCAR 17 slung across my back.
Damn it I miss Barry
what happened to Barry? i just noticed its been a while since i seen him up here
Jordan B . He left Moss pawn and a few months after that passed away.
69 Texaseyes Damn that's terrible
Rest in Peace Barry
me too man me too
As an Alaskan, I'd say that the Savage Arms model-42 over/under .22/410 would be the absolute best SINGLE gun you could have in the woods. It's a great gun for small game and fairly easy to transport in an airplane. Ruger 10/22 takedown is also a good choice, but not in camo. That would just make your gun 10x harder to find should it get set down or if you've been separated from it for whatever reason (like a plane crash).
holy crap! I have never seen this rifle. That is awesome for survival. Very safe too! one shot blam. Empty. Great for survival with other people who are not experienced or for children around, jeez, lots of check boxes. I have no idea why i never saw or heard of this thing. I am buying it for certain. Be my 2nd rifle aside from takedown 10/22. thank you for the mention. I have been turned on to the 410 shotgun. Paul Harrel shows how a effective a 410 is and how easy it is for people who might be older or light framed to use defensively.
Chiappa makes what may be the ugliest gun in production, but very practical. Various combinations of .22/.22mag and .410/20 gauge/12 gauge. These things fold up so they would easily fit in a backpack. If I were flying over Alaska, I would want a version with the 12 gauge option.
I'm from Arkansas, I'd take a Marlin 336 in 30-30 over just about anything.
cheaper option is a double barrel with an 8'' caliber adapter
hey that’s a great idea ! would do almost anything you’d need to do
I would take a stick for drawing an anti-sea bear circle
bless your soul for making this reference XD
Slice of Cheese lol this is great
Slice of Cheese classic
Just don’t wear a sombrero in a funny way!

It went from wilderness walk out to "What to do if you're suddenly Liam Neeson in the movie The Grey" real quickly
LOL, so very true.
I miss Barry. RIP bro.
JimmyTheKid u said R.I.P. did he die?
@@avilosey Yeah, sadly Barry passed away a few years ago.
JimmyTheKid dang that’s sad, u know how he died?
Or was it a natural death or something
@@avilosey They actually had a video announcing that he was gone but made no mention of the circumstances, so I don't know.
God bless Barry... I almost chocked laughing when he was talking about trout shooting.....Then Eric says well there may be more effecient ways to catch trout and Barry does his classic shoulder shrugg.... That was pure gold for Barry fans..
He said "yea it's illegal, but i want a game warden to find my ass" hahaha
Man, this vid almost made me forget that Barry is no longer with us.......Thanks again my friend!
What about a 7.62 AK? Decent power for medium sized game, that can also take on larger game, 30 rounds ready to go, controllable enough, semi automatic, low maintenance, dependable.
Mini draco
And extremely reliable
They have poor accuracy compared to other more popular long guns such as an AR . but good points made on your end .
I could see a problem with the weight of the gun + ammo. It seems like all of the guns shown are both easier to carry around, and are more realistic to be carried if things go south unexpectedly. I’d definitely be able to foresee a world where I’m carrying a Glock 20 in my pocket as opposed to an AK. That said, the AK is good for its capacity and caliber. If I had the choice, and didn’t mind lugging one around, it’s definitely not the worst option.
Historians don't usually count the Alaska campaign as a Japanese invasion because it wasn't a state at the time. It's debatable if you count it as a mainland Japanese invasion.
Redwall Warlords the US owned Alaska since 1867. It does not matter if it wasn't a state yet.
I'll tell you what I personally have carried walking into and out of my mining cabin when either the ATV or the snow machine (yeah, it's not a snow mobile if you are an Alaskan) has broken down. In my hands - not on a sling over my shoulder - I have a Marlin 336 in stainless steel lever action .45-70 with hollow point rounds. This will take out any predator (we have some rather large bears as you may have heard) in the world, as well as a charging bull moose (Don't think it's just the bulls that are dangerous. A cow moose killed a guy several years ago on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus.) On my hip or in a chest holster I carry either a Ruger Redhawk in .454 Casull or a S & W .500. Either one will take care of the same bear or moose. The long gun of whatever caliber that you stand against a tree while you take a crap in the woods will get you killed when Mr. Bruin, Monty Moose, or the Big Bad Wolf shows up to help you wipe your ass. I put my hat on the ground in front of me, place my pistol on the hat, and get to business. If furry friends show up, I have what I need at hand. Some of you UA-camrs may sneer and say I'm crazy, but this procedure has kept me alive and uneaten for many years. If you haven't walked Alaska's trails, you have no idea what you are talking about.
Oh, by the way, Janusha, there was a rookie teacher in an Alaska bush village school. She went for a run soon after she arrived from the lower 48. When she did not return, the people of the village found what was left of her just outside the village. She had definately been killed and eaten by a pack of wolves. So take your civilized sidewalk-walking version of reality and shove it. Alaska is the real world, where big furry things with long sharp teeth are higher on the food chain than you and I.
+sargemsb Thank you
I remember that story about the teacher. I lived in the Yukon for years and have been to Alaska many times. best places on earth.
sargemsb. Hello neighbor!!! I'm from the Mentasta range SW of Tok. You tell them how it really in the bush!! Hahaha!! City boys need to stay in town and keep doing their hunting and combat on their video games. Dandahermit
Clifton Rowden. Amen
I love chad in these new videos but I could listen to Barry talk all day, always cracks me up whenever he mentions a glock the “extendo” is in arms reach. I’ve been watching these so long it’s feels like he’s my grandpa giving live advice. RIP
Breaks my heart every time I see a video with Barry in it. RIP my friend.
The 357 mag is the best all around outdoors man gun imo. It may not do a single thing amazing, but it can do everything very well.
Tool Box Films not to mention 38 special for small game 😎
I 100% agree! If I could have only one firearm, it would be a medium-frame .357 magnum. I'm often asked by acquaintances what they should buy for their first firearm, usually with the idea that it will primarily be a nightstand gun. I recommend a .357 magnum revolver and explain in detail about the advantages of simplicity and versatility. Then they go to the gun store and the guy behind the counter convinces them to buy a Glock. Oh well.
My thoughts too, 180 hard cast for 4 leg varmints & 125 JHP for 2 leg varmints..
@@itsapittie I have a Ruger pc carbine, an LCP 2 and have a .357 4 inch SP101 on the way. It'll be my first big boy handgun. Would you suggest not firing magnums for a while so as not to develop a flinch. I'll be in an indoor range and know how shocking it is to stand next to, let alone being the one firing it. Any thoughts? Thank you!
@@bruceleroy8063 Yes, start with mild .38 special loads and develop your technique. Leave one chamber empty and spin the cylinder so you don't know which one it is. That way it will be obvious if you're flinching or anticipating. When you have that mastered, try mixing a magnum or two per cylinder. After that, you'll be ready for regular use of magnums. Once your technique is good, you can shoot mostly .38 special and still do fine with magnums. Also, the sound and shock are actually quite a bit worse for adjacent people than they are for the shooter.
My great grandfather's Winchester 30-30 hasn't ever failed me once.
Zer0 Deaths same, I've gotten everything done that needs doing with my Papas Marlin 336
@@retrobeast2745 i have a 336 and a Winchester 30-30. Amazing firearms
My dad carries a judge with 3 .410 shells with 3 self defense disc projectiles and like 12 pellets and the other half with 3 normal ones he says the black ones are for “special occasions” and the red ones are for snakes and such and I have seen him uses it and I can say that it’s a very great, reliable revolver that will never miss which is life saving for rapid wild animals or people who want to hurt us thankfully it’s only had to be used for animals
Having an aircraft accident in Alaska or other remote area doesn’t necessarily mean a delayed rescue these days. With a GPS position referenced emergency locator beacon onboard, a personal locator beacon and/or a Garmin inReach, you aren’t going to spend a lot of sitting time waiting for a rescue unless the weather interferes. Frequently, walking out isn’t a viable option.
My big worry is being injured and bleeding, which may attract bear or wolves. We always have a firearm and have gone from a 12 gauge to a 45-70, a .454 Casull and now a 10MM Auto in a chest rig. The idea is it’s survival if you’re wearing it and camping if it’s stored in the airplane. If the airplane catches fire, you may not have time to unload the weapon and survival gear. Wear it if you want to survive with it.
CAP civil air patrol in AK are in plentiful supply. Largest wing in USA. Floats and skies equipped. Great vol. organization, part of AF.. They will be there quick especially if you got a MAYDAY out and your beacon works.
Always carry your firearms ready when tracking. Never leave without 2 firearms. From experience I can tell you with out any shadow of doubt that a Bears will actually stalk you, then rush you, however, if your loud and pay attention, you can spot them ( for the most part). MY Main concern are wolves. They pose far more problems than Bears cause they have a tendency of being sneaky. They'll track you for miles, days and sometimes attacks don't happen right away. Sometimes they do mock charges then disappear into the bush. Other times they Run up bite then back off and let you bleed out. Reducing fight in you, so that the world doesn't have to fight hard.
+aky19832001 also personal experience...everything you say here is correct.
aky19832001 carry a high capacity 9mm for those wolves
Wolves have never killed anyone in the history of North America, homie
One thing not mentioned is the importance of weight. If you need to hike long distances, you'll want a light gun that can take down game too. For me, I love the 357 magnum with at least a 4" barrel.
"You're out in the wilderness, alone, hungry, tryin' to survive!.."
- This part made me laugh!..
(The Scenario)
"You're flying in Alaska and the plane goes down; your pilots killed and you have to walk out in the wilderness.."
- Barry @ (9:00 - 9:20)
"If you had to fish with a gun; which is illegal. But in a survival situation, who cares! I hope a game warden finds me!.."
- So true!..
Rest In Peace Barry.. We'll Miss You!
*breaks the law*
Game warden : ah ! You weren’t supposed to do that
A very good video telling about the different scenarios and the best gun for the situation. For me
1. 22lr for shooting small game.
2. .357 for a revolver and lever action - for defense and large game. I chose this so I would only have to carry one caliber for 2 guns.
There are other guns but I would feel more comfortable with just these two.
Thank you both for a great video and suggestions. May you both have a Happy New Year.
tbh id carry a mosin nagant 91/30. its extreamly compact, not heavy at all, and you can fire it in one hand. it fits all your needs
Except it's garbage
Ryan D
You would not say that if it pointing at you, cause that a lot of firepower and you don't know the skill of the shooter.
+Ryan D doesn't know a thing about firearms obviously.
Eric, please do a full review on the Ruger 10/22 Takedown.
Coming soon. I bought the exact gun from this video. I love it so far and VERY quiet with a suppressor.
Glock 20 with 10mm and a extended magazine
+autospoke Does it take .22LR rounds?
+Fearsake yeah
Greetings from Fairbanks...your scenario made me laugh. Honestly. That being said, I should say that when I head NORTH above to Brooks Range to fish along the Sag River, I DO take a firearm. (otherwise I have bear spray - less paperwork - just as effective). North of the Brooks Range, there are high winds and critters up there that are smaller and meaner than Kodiak Brown bears - Barren Ground Grizzly. At about 450-550 lbs, hungry and clever, they are not to be messed with. (Generally Barry is right, Brown Bears are shy. And lazy, but not BGG) They will do what they want up there to end you. When I fish up north, I have a 12-gauge 870 with me with Brenneke slugs. It the only place in AK that I feel I need it. I also have a .44mag Redhawk with 300grain Federal CastCore in a chest holster. Both are enough.
Seeing this classic video with Barry brought me back to my teenage years. Amazing man !
In Austria there are actually about two bears in the wilderness and the only attack I know of was when a farmer got surprised by one of them and then got a slap in his face. He instantly blacked out and when he woke up again the bear was gone again.
Loved when Barry would get started on subjects. What a wealth of knowledge gone, for now.
when I go small game hunting with my 22, I carry a 357, when I have a rifle, or shotgun, i carry a 9mm
I freaking love these videos. I often stay up late (when I can) to watch them. I know the "top 5...." is a bit of a misnomer but who cares!?! Awesome series
I'd choose a marlin guide gun. 45-70 government. The round that won the west. And in the marlin you can either put a lightweight scope on it or leave it with iron sights. Decent ammo capacity and will drop anything you aim it at. That's what Alaskans use. For a pistol I would've ran with a 10mm glock or a S&W 686 4inch barrel 7 shot .357 magnum with 2 speed clips. I don't care much for concealment. Only problem is if my arm is broken or I need to shoot a squirrel I'm shit out of luck!
+John Doe "marlin guide gun. 45-70 government" +1
Orion problem?
John Doe what do you mean mate? I was agreeing with you (see the "+1")
Orion Oh I thought you were attempting to mock me by quoting what I said as if the guide gun wasn't chambered in 45-70. My bad
The Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70gov is one of the best 'walk about guns' on the planet, the only complaint I have is they are somewhat unpleasant to shoot with full house loads, but that is hardly a problem under field conditions
Few people realize how versatile the .44 Magnum is. You can run full house 240 to 300 grain bear stoppers or load all the way down to .430", 120 grain round ball, pipsqueak loads in .44 Special cases. A good .44 Mag with a selection of ammo will let you take anything from large animals to rabbits and birds.
nice to go back and see Barry again.
What happened
+YOMAMA AMA he died😭
I've lived in Alaska for 35 years. I would take a pump shotgun over everything else - no contest. The 10/22 would be a great second gun for ptarmigan, squirrel, rabbit, and other small game. Those two guns would handle just about everything while providing protection and a way to get food.
My California CCW daily carry is the Glock 20SF with Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster in combat cut and a single mag carrier and it conceals perfectly, no printing and is very comfortable. When I'm out hunting I switch to the Crossbreed OWB holster in combat cut and a two mag carrier and it works perfectly and again is very comfortable. I've encountered bears which are shy and timid and will usually leave you alone and run away, one time, I encountered an old dirty rotten bear out in the Los Padres National Forest while deer hunting and he wouldn't back down, all it took was one warning shot with the 10mm and he took off so fast you wouldn't believe it. Love my Glock 20sf, truely a great choice for a wilderness walk out gun. Thank you for this very informative video Eric and Barry (RIP).
Have you guys ever been around bears? The ones I’ve been around in the southern US dgaf about what noise you make. But the biggest threat out in the swamps believe or not is feral dogs. Had some really rough run ins canoeing the black water in the southern us. Next time I go on a big paddle I’m carrying y’all’s main pick, a 12 pump.
what about a marlin guide gun in 45-70?
I miss Barry and his infinite wisdom .. RIP Brother, so sad I never got to shake your hand and thank you for all the useful info you've imparted to us fans.
If I'm pulling my gun out of a plane crash in deep Alaska because I have to walk for a few days to civilization, I'm hoping for a good semi-automatic shotgun with a red dot and maybe a flashlight on it. A friend makes shotgun slings from paracord, which is super handy and always useful. You're never going to need more than say 5 rounds in the tube, and I'd wager that 25 rounds with you while walking in the bush will last longer than you will. You can carry a range of ammunition(slugs, buckshot, birdshot, signal flares) for different purposes. I say semi-automatic because if you've got a bad arm, working a pump action might be more of a problem, but you can fire a semi-auto with one arm disabled with a little practice.
Long guns are very difficult to aim one-armed. Try it sometime. and then try from the OTHER shoulder (weak side). Unless you have a pistol grip on a light firearm, don't count on having a convenient place to rest the barrel while you pull the trigger.
Doug Moose I spent a lot of trigger time with a Franchi SPAS-12 pump-action/semi-auto. If you're unfamiliar, there's a shepherd's crook that threads into the folding stock base, which doubles as a carry handle and a forearm rest. I've got several hundred rounds through that gun one-handed(and several thousand two-handed - that shotgun was re-barreled three times). While I wouldn't be in a hurry to bet my life on my one-handed shooting abilities, I'm perfectly aware of the difficulty involved, and certainly would select that gun over all others in a situation like the one described. For comparison, I've made attempts at firing shoulder-stock models one-handed, and things like a shortened barrel are definitely desirable there.
A long gun also provides several other advantages over a pistol/revolver in a survival scenario.
"The purpose of a pistol is to fight your way back to your rifle." I agree wholeheartedly, and in any situation where my life depends on it, a shotgun will always be the first thing I reach for. A pistol is just something to tuck into your waistband as a comforting reminder.
Doug Moose unless your arm has been completely broken off, you can at least raise it enough to rest the gun on it while you're shooting.
As in "True Grit", simply warn the bear that you have a very good lawyer.
I've noticed a lot of the local guy's here in Alaska carry the glock 10mm. This is what I carry, My truck gun is an AR in 300 Blackout. My edc is a Beretta px4 comp .40 My cabin gun is away the Mossberg 500. My hunting rifle is a 30/06 180 to 220 grain. I take my 410/45 long colt New England firearm survival shotgun when I'm out & about setting or checking traps. It's lightweight breaks down into two pieces and fits easily on the side of my pack. I really enjoy your videos & wanted to share with you what I carry in Alaska. Thanks so much keep the awesome videos coming.
Classic Barry and ultra funny: pack of wolves disposal 7:41; illegal fishing with 9mm in eight feet of water and Eric's rebuttal, but it is an added point 9:00; bears truth be told are shy 10:12. Worth many repeated viewings, RIP Barry.
357 mag lever gun for me, any day. Powerful, reliable, fast fire rate, light weight, very low recoil. The only situation it might be ill suited would be that large grizzly they talked about. But even then, 357 mag 180g soft or hollow point round fired from like an 18 inch barrel? I would still feel I could stand my ground against that grizzly in a worst case scenario.
I would have to think 5 or 6 .357 slugs from a rifle would take the fight out of a bear even if it survived.
There have been cases where one shot from a .22 was enough to make Yogi head back to Jellystone Park.
On a side note, I've had many friends that have flown out in bush planes, or out fishing or hunting in southeast alaska in boats. Never to be heard from again. In many cases the boats or planes were also never seen again...
R. I. P Barry we miss you
Did he passed away?
InspireNewGeneration He died in April.
9mm could be a very good choice for the woods if your using the 115gr +P extreme penetrator. I use to carry my Redhawk but with the technology of 9mm ammo advancing like it has its really a no brainer.
I've carried many different firearms in the woods, from .22 LR to .44 Mags, but here in the Missouri Ozarks, I like my Ruger SP101 four inch .327 Federal Magnum. It's small, totally dependable, and a 6 shot. I also like being able to shoot less powerful .32 Longs in it. It will shoot 5 different cartridges, and fills my needs for protection against rabid critters, four and two legged.
The best walk out gun is a bazooka
Gay.
Sure................. -_-
until you gotta reload when you got a pack of coyotes after you
Lol
Naw, an A10 Warthog
In a survival situation, who cares, I hope a game warden finds me. Best thing I’ve ever heard i swear😂
Eric says I can think of more efficient ways to get fish lol
For size and weight considerations, my backcountry carry is a Glock 29 (10 mm compact) with extended magazine, aftermarket ported barrel (recoil management and longer barrel) and 200 grain lead slugs.
Notice how the Ruger 10/22 is in almost every one of these "Top 5" videos.
Corbin Adams I.D.F. love them
yes I noticed that too
The 10/22 is probably the most useful gun of any caliber
Rather have 22 mag
If you have one you will know why
I think the hands down winner is a short as possible 12 gauge pump. With slugs it is a lot more formidable than any but largest of handgun calibers.
Why does every one think that the best gun is always the shogun. Just because it is a big gun that make a big bang doesn't mean it is the best gun. Think about Mag capacity and reload time for a shotgun.
I truthfully have no idea what you are talking about. The scenario presented in this video is your plane goes down in Alaska. Loaded with slugs it would be formidable bear medicine and with birdshot you can get yourself something to eat. Shotguns have a capacity of five rounds with a short barreled version and I would feel a lot more comfortable with five rounds of slugs against creatures that mean you harm than say five rounds from a .500 S&W. I don't know about you but I can reload a shotgun rather fast.
nodresiak its true im sitting here practice loading my 12 gauge side by side with one hand and my knees its going pretty quick and the two barrels / triggers means i can have a slug for protection and some shot for food ready to go at all times
What ever
You people think bears attack humans...they don't. I live in Alberta and we have a shitload of bears, and you can see them off the highway. Bears are really smart and usually they dont want to hurt you. I have personally been hiking, run into a bear, we were 50 ish feet apart, and he walked around me and I around him. They usually just dont care...
Love going back and watching these old Barry episodes
We're still thinking about you, Barry.
The Japanese DID NOT “occupy Alaska” during WWII! They occupied two of the Aleutian Islands: Attu and Kiska. Native Americans were evacuated from the Aleutians in WWII prior to the arrival of the Japanese garrisons. Some chose to remain in mainland Alaska after 1945. There were no stay-behind Eskimo Scouts in the Aleutians. Native Americans and Americans living in Alaska did form an unpaid Army militia (the Alaska Territorial Guard) to emplace caches of equipment and food along the route of Lend-Lease aircraft flying to and from Russia. They were prepared to rescue downed pilots and, of course, would have intercepted any Japanese infiltrators foolish enough to oppose skilled Native American hunters The Alaska National Guard now has a reconnaissance unit largely composed of Native Americans. Canada has Rangers who are First Nations people who patrol Canada’s North. Currently, they are armed with Lee-Enfield rifles and Canada is seeking a replacement rifle which can function reliably in the extreme cold of Northern Canada.
rcrogers6 I just commented the same thing. If it were me doing the pontificating, I'd be embarrassed and stick to talking guns in the future.
This is one of the most interesting comments I've ever seen on youtube. I'm going to look into this further. Thx!
Not to mention Alaska wasn't even part of the mainland U.S., it was a territory til 1959
I never knew how large that 500 mag 460 mag was till you picked it up(500), briefly got a side view of how humongous it is in your hand....my God....i would choose a 460 over a 500 due to the choice of ammo, and my walk out would be a 10 mm g20 and a remington 870 12 gauge with 3 inch 000 buckshot....if you give me a choice here.....I got here 5 years late but great video!!!!
I arrived here years late also... And I choose the exact same scenario as you do !! Great choices !! Thanks for posting !! 👍👍
I love the Glock 20 10mm for all around.
Shotguns are just the best thing ever.
I've got a new one for you. I used to fish Alaska with a 6 shot 7.5" 480 Ruger Super Redhawk in a chest rig. Now I fish with an 8" TNW Aero Survival Pistol 10mm slung with a Gear Head Works Tailhook, 30 round Glock mags, and a Holosun HS403C solar red dot.
If I had to pick one, I'd go for the Glock 20.
mossberg 500 and large can of bear spray
some nice slugs will do with a mossberg 500
I have a 1870's greener, 66cm barrel, **** choke.... if it can take down a bloody Zulu, it can finish a bear
12 gauge because of flexibility of ammo. Birds, bears, people. I have a bandolier with 3 ammo types in it. A bit heavy but makes the shotgun very flexible. Also a good pump shotgun is incredibly reliable.
a 500 mag is a ridiculous gun for most any purpose.
I agree....toting that much weight around is stupid.
Not for hunting the rare flying space whale it isn't
You wouldn't believe that if you had been surprised by a big brown bear while fishing as I have.
Bigfoot.
Kelton Oliver I mean enough 9mm would stop it but I get what your saying
Being from Alaska and having flown around a fair bit in my time there, I always carried a .45 Springfield XD and a Remington 700 XCR in 7mm Rem Mag. or 300 Win Mag... If I carried a Shotgun it was a Moss 500 20 ga.
Most of my friends a carried a .300 Win Mag / .338 and a .44 Mag.
Should point out that the Japanese only occupied the Aleutian chain, and the native population was removed by our military and placed in the SE... some of the native men were sent back to hunt seals, while most were left to slowly die in their new home.
We also teach people to shoot into the ground in front of bears since it confuses them, not into the sky. Another option was #6 or #8 birdshot to get them to leave the area :-)
why must you make up lies?
And what lies would those be sir?
20 ga Hell yeah
Was 14 when me and my mom went to our local 'general' store and picked up my first firearm, which was the day after I almost got run over by a mother bear being chased by our friends golden lab lol
Asking a couple of gun salesmen about wilderness survival is a bit like asking a car salesman which tire chains work best in packed snow.
Try talking to an Alaskan hunting guide before you take their advise.
First off more people are killed or injured by moose or elk the rare polar bear, black bear or kodiak attack is because people don't pay attention to where and how they cook food.
If you see a wolf it's because you got lucky or you was tracking them.
I take nothing less then a 30 caliber rifle, mostly a 300 WSM or plan 300 magnum long action bolt or lever action and a simple revolver .357 or bigger because the cold will freeze an automatic. Hell it will freeze your knife in a kydex sheath when you need it most.
I might add if you crash and survive with a broken arm or leg. Stay where the plane is and use it as shelter and anything you can salvage because unless you're 100% healthy and an expert your chances of walking out are slim.
Look dumbass I made the point call before you take this video as gospel. I been there and yes fucking Elk are on the southern boarder of Alaska and Canada.
You may return to that tiny little area you call home.
Thank You
And if you come back for a second beating I would lookup Elk hunting in Alaska in advanced.
So I don't trust you or this video with the word. Which means your either ignorant or liar. So which is it?
They will get the point when their dead....Nature is brutal and unforgiving. It has no remorse for the ignorant.
It's why you been there 26 years. You must have learned the rules...
They would be better served to watch Ray Mear, Read Mors Kochanski Bush Craft Skills. As half these idiots show up with more shit then a golfer!
I even had one friend who is not an idiot. That was on the show Alone. They dropped their ass off on Vancouver Island. He made one mistake and he had to quit. That is how brutal nature is. As the quote at the start of his journey "If you live among the wolves, you have to act like a wolf." He learned a valuable lesson. You can practice all you want in comfort. But when it's for real. Survival is the exception!
And yes I was raised in the country as a kid. My dad had one rule. Don't pretend you know something. If you're not sure, ask someone that does it for a living. It will save you grief, pain and suffering! It might also save your life.....
Rara Neagra grandma always said, "you gonna be dumb you gotta be tough".
Being from Alaska and knowing the locations you would travel in a small bush plane to, if you crashed you better hope you have a round left for yourself because rural navigation in Alaska elements is not a mass produced skill to the American populous. Also I want to see the Dumbass who goes "HEY BEAR" to the interior Grizzlies vs. the coastal black bears, I think Eric & Barry would be sweeter than a Georgia peach to that Alaskan bear....
exactly I was pretty sure yellin hey bear only scared some types of bears and definitely not the mean old badass American grizzly.
+idontcarewhatyousay Correct me if I am wrong, I think its actually grizzly bears that you have to stand your ground to and seem intimidating so that it will show the bear that you are not prey
Oh ok lol
the hey bear isn't to scare the bear instead avoid put it in a position where it feels threatened or startled. the problem with finding your way out is getting turned around a lot. there's a place in rural SE AK that actual NPS rangers get lost less then 15 mile between a town and a park and an ocean because of tree cover where you loose your sense of direction. and best wilderness gun set would be a 12 gauge and a .22lr, 22 for small game 12 for everything else. but that's just my 2 cents.
Can you explain how they are 'stooges'?
Been carrying a glock 40 everywhere for almost a year now, they make 30 rounders too. Nice video
5 most lavish guns would be an awesome video
Flare Rounds for a shotgun and such might be handy.
A .357mag revolver with a 6" barrel. 3 heavy hollow points for the big stuff, and 3 snake shot loads for the small stuff.
mosin nagant for me laugh at me if you want but think about it
Glock 20 allday
Always great to see Barry in the vids...a true LEGEND !
Living in Alaska, i carry a 44, 45 and a .22 just about every time i go out into the wilderness. (Every weekend).
though it is rare, berry is wrong. a bear, especially a black bear will attack you to eat you some times. Brown bears will also defend Salmon Streams, and moose/sheep kills from hikers. Brown bears have been known to pounce on campers in their tents to eat them. All of these are rare, but they do happen.
One thing that is interesting to note, a 10mm won't do much to a bear with a hollow point bullet. you have to use a very hardcast lead or well bonded fmj bullet. The higher loads require a fully suppprted barrel do a lot of people change out to a lone wolf 6" barrel.
i love your videos but, i really think you guys missed the mark on this one. A walkout gun no matter where should be multi purpose. a good 357mag carbine rifle or a longer barreled 357 pistol or something similar, I wish someone would come out with a simple 357/38 camp gun (keltec like) thats not a levergun that costs way too much
wouldnt it be great if someone made pump action 38/357 that was affordable.
Maybe I’m crazy here, but I’d take a Remington 7600 .270 Winchester. Then again I’m from Appalachia and the only bears there are relatively small and more likely to run off than attack. Then again, if you’re in the wilderness in Appalachia and you need to get out, just follow the water, you’ll get to a town within a day or two.
Ha ha "put on our philosophers hat". Like the two hitmen from Pulp Fiction.
My walk out gun is a mossberg 500 12ga every damn day of the year
Give me my 870 anyday so much better than the mossberg
I like the advice these guys give, it's very nuanced and realistic.
also, if I can suggest another good option for a wilderness walk-out gun based on what ive researched. I would highly recommend the Smith and Wesson governor revolver, it can accept .410 shotgun shells, .45 acp, .45 colt, and .45 Schofield. it's also pretty lightweight for its size (less than 30 oz).
Gun store guys. You gotta love 'em.
What do you mean.
lol i know
a 10mm with 15 rounds and 30 more with you cant be beat
Unless you know anything about balistics, amount of time you have before you get mauled as well as convert that 10mm to a caliber size.
+Grizzly Country what caliber do you recommend Grizzly?
Grizzly Country there is nothing on this planet that can take a few rounds of 10mm and live to tell the story
Quyen Le I see that you live in a fantasy world.
I'd want that Glock 20 on my hip... but I'd want my 450 in my arms.
As a fishing guide in Alaska I dont carry a shotgun. While yet there is some validity to that gun I carry a .44 mag. If i didnt carry that I would carry a S&W Governor, or a .357. All reasons being is I can access them if my plane goes down. A shot gun is very cumbersome to carry. The governor is an awesome choice because of the .45 long colt, .454, and .410 options. Take down guns are cool, but in a plane crash scenario i see some potential disaster because most firearms in a bush plane are stowed in floats or in a belly case, or on the struts of most bush planes....lastly there isnt alot of walk out options in Alaska. It can be done in some cases but its not common. So be prepared to stay put if you go down....this was a great video but i just wanted to add some food for thought.
50 bmg with enough ammo I could shoot myself a cave to live in on the adjacent mountain.
ok this is a stupid question but if you where wanting to hunt Bigfoot a saber toothed tiger or mastodon what would you bring and why
I would not be hunting them. No meat value and no sport value.
Jack Savage no sport value? no sport phft hanging a tyranosaurus head over the mantel piece yeah thats nice
LOLOL... it was sarcasm George. If I ever saw a T-Rex, I am screwed.... I dont have the big bore stuff. The biggest I hunt with is a 7.62x54R.
you'd need a duel nitro express rifle to take anything like that down
I would agree. Or a Barrett and a few Mags!
I was nearly a victim of a bear attack in Alaska . I had received the opportunity of a lifetime to go hunting with a group of doctors as I had quite a bit of outdoor experience and it had been made clear to them that the local guide they hired would not be responsible for anything more than game tracking . No cooking or other bushcraft . To jump to the bear , we had 5 days of school fairly successful hunting on the way back to camp the guide went back to his village to get the truck to pack us out the next morning and we returned to our camp . I had prepacked much of my gear for faster break down of camp the next morning and had started preparing dinner . I looked up from the camp table where I was making chili to see a giant bear that appeared to me to be at least the size of a Honda at that particular time . Suddenly I remembered reading, in a gun magazine, a quote from Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch , " Your handgun is useless , the only thing it is good for is fighting your way back to your long gun , which you shouldn't have put down in the first place ". There were several opinions on this column of how silly that statement was ( maybe having to do with the fact that this was printed in a handgun magazine). But looking to my rifle just inside the open flap of my tent it didn't seem so silly to me now . My first thought was bears are shy of noise so I shouted loudly and banged on a pan with the back edge of my Bowie knife . That didn't produce the desired effect , in fact the bear charged , right at me , bearly ( spelling for pun ) slowing down for even the campfire he trampled under foot . I started to make my way to my rifle and drew my revolver , a Taurus model 44 in .44 magnum . I shot all six rounds at the bear before I had reached my tent and more importantly the rifle there in . But the 44 had done the job , the bear turned away from me after getting way too close , in my opinion , then expired right on top of the camp table and our chili . So we ate MREs that last evening , because I come prepared . The next morning when the guide arrived he told me that I was lucky to be alive as that particular bear was a known rouge and had attacked quite a few people , some fatally , as well as horses and dogs . I gifted that 44 to a good friend of mine when his daughter had her sweet 16 party , because 16 meant that she'd be dating soon and every father needs to have a big gun to be cleaning when boys show our to take his little girl out on a date . If I were to go into the Alaskan wilderness now without my hunting rifle for whatever reason I'd carry 2 guns with me , my Taurus 444 Ultralite because it has .44 magnum power and isn't too heavy to pack , Smith and Wesson makes or made a scandium frame .44 magnum that is probably even better ( never fired one) but is rare to find and pricey to say the least . And a my Taurus/Rossi Circuit Judge in .22lr/.22mag . It's a 9 shot revolver carbine with interchangeable cylinders to fire both . It has a 16" barrel and a rifle stock to help you stabilize the gun in that broken arm, shooting from the weak hand scenario , the revolver action is the most ambidextrous I know of . This is a unique gun and I don't know another manufacturer that offers anything similar .
Revolver has a great advantage of not having to chamber a load.
That second might have saved your life.
Who's still watching Barry in 2024?
Absolutely me
It doesn’t get old
AK-47 solves all problems.
Bill Randall my Krebs folds in half and fits nicely in a standard size backpack. I'd much rather survive off of 7.62x39 than .223 as .223 is just too weak for medium sized game
Rara Neagra I find it Extremely hard to believe you have had a FEW bears charge at you and you have successfully shot them.
Really like the 12 gauge. Slugs, 00 buck, bird shot. Can eat and defend.
I'll take a .950 jdj
ryand u coulddnt find or carry around a 950jdj a glock 20 cant be beat
+Christina Jennings Glock 20 LMFAO! 😂
that gun is entirely useless, your couldn't take small game, and your chances of shouldering it in a bear attack is fucking slim. after carrying it 5 minutes in the bush, you'd leave it laying against a tree.
Grizzly Country useless? 15 rounds under your disposal with multiple mags? 40mm Lehigh Ext rounds fly through bullet proof glass like a hot knife through butter.
Grizzly Country useless? 15 rounds under your disposal with multiple mags? 10mm Lehigh Ext rounds fly through bullet proof glass like a hot knife through butter.
Very informative video.
i dont get tired of seen this videos. We miss you barry...
Surprised there's no 357 Magnum, it will take down just about anything you will come across.
Not to mention 357 Magnum is manageable. Good luck trying to hit something with a 500 Magnum lol.
Chris Davis 357 has a strong kick, but you have very limited rounds so they went with 500s&w for The shear power. The 50AE would be the better choice of the two.
I agree. I carry a Ruger GP 💯 .357 magnum in the woods Everytime. We get 7-800 # black bear and I feel well protected. Gotta stay practiced up tho.
What's all this bull about being stalked by packs of wolves? Too many bedtime stories boys.
You've never been to NC State Univ!
Doug Moose OK. point taken.
I completely agree with the glock 20. it's my pack gun and my go to for thick muscled and big boned boar where I live. It's an amazing cartridge to say the least.
the Best weapon on this World is the mp5!!
