Wilderness camping and gun safety
When camping as the lone camper with miles of wilderness around, do you feel safer with a loaded firearm handy? Or is having the magazine ready to slide in a better option? Thank you for any thoughts....

Wonderful response. I thank you all as there is a lot to think about based on all your thoughts.
I camp in National forest lands just off remote gravel dirt roads. I find the most beautiful areas where very small towns are 10-20 miles and big cities are hundreds of miles. I like the oregon outback, North eastern California outback and remote areas of Nevada for prospecting dry creek beds and canyons. I like feeling a sense of responsibility safety and security more than a sense of what may or could happen someday. I'm always alone for a few days while I take my time prospecting and traveling south to meet a group of friends in the eastern Sierras. Same on the way home north, I may take another few days prospecting along the way. I am alone these days without my wife as she is not able to take long road trips any longer.
