    Sidearm or Not?

    Little Taurus 625 357 mag in Col backcountry. I sleep better at night in my little tent. I look at it like insurance, probably never need to make a claim if I keep a clean camp, store food away etc. It’s just part of the tool kit, not a be all and end all. Also carry spray.
