Someone early in thread had sidearms in three or four calibers. If you feel you have to have a weapon(s), it is probably best to have one caliber for all e.g. .357 pistol and rifle.

Don't have a chainsaw (wish I did) for the same reason given on previous page by PRodacy. Trees can fall down. We have a collapsible bow saw and that has proven useful the one time we had to use it for a 10" or 12" log going in to a nice dispersed site. We were scouting area in our pickup. Also have a nice Swedish axe that will probably lead to physical collapse if I ever had to cut through a large downfall. At 75, moderation is no longer an option.
I read through most posts on this thread and a compressor must have been noted but I did not see this. Consider this an absolute necessity. Our 1 kW generator will not operate it (should have gotten the 2 kW) but we have sufficient battery power to run the compressor. We trialed the PSWI and battery suite at almost 4 kW once (AC, hot wter heater and microwave simultaneously. Not something to do while camping.
