A 22 short should do it . . . . . Think not? Read on . . . . . . . . . On Bud's Gun Shop Forums the question came up: What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself? The best answer: My personal favorite defense gun has always been a Beretta Jetfire in 22 short . Over all the years I've been hiking I never leave without it in my pocket . Of course . we all know too the first rule when hiking in the wilderness is to use the "Buddy System . " For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this it means you NEVER hike alone . You bring a friend or companion, even an in-law . That way, if something happens, there is someone to go get help . I remember one time hiking with my brother-in-law in northern Alberta . Out of nowhere came this huge brown bear and man, was she mad . We must have been near one of her cubs . Anyway, if I had not had my little Jetfire I'd sure not be here today . Just one shot to my brother-in-law's knee cap and I was able to escape by just walking at a brisk pace .

Hello Anyone,Everyone, Etc.... Whoooo Hooooo!!! I am planning a " Bike & Hike " to the Florida Caverns in Marrianna Florida. November 6th. They have some Hiking Trails on the property which I am planning on Hiking, as well as the 35-40 minute tour underGround. I will be taking US-90 west all the way. It is actually a nice ride, and will pick a different route for the return trip. Probably leave my house in Bryceville at 7:15 am ( If I can get my Night Owl wife outta bed ) meeting my friend ( Rodney C. also rides a 09' Venture) in McClenney Florida at the gas station next to Hardee's, on Hwy 121 @ 7:45 am . The cost to get in, I think is donation but you can check online if interested. Would like to be on the road by 8:15 am. It is about 4.0 hours to the Caverns. Get lunch somewhere on the way, Hang out on-site til 3-4:00 pm 'ish, Then head for home, everyone is always welcome to do as you please as far as schedule and your own departure time and route. I like long days, Sometimes I don't know when to go Home. I carry a Backpack with water/Gatoraid, hiking stick, for the wife & I, and wear Hiking boots so I am Comfy on the hike. If interested let me know, if you would like a cell # to contact me. Thanks Tom E. aka Vern
