Guilty as charged. But I would still not want to be out and about without a bit more punch then a .22, either mucking around a mountain or whatever. But I am not one to commune with nature, I'd rather eat it. Again, JMHO.
I used to climb a lot to find unexplored aircraft wrecks in California and Hawaii. Never had to shoot anything more harmful than rattlesnakes during the expeditions but I got dozens of them in California. Best wreck I ever found was a nearly complete and intact P-47D Thunderbolt at Kahoolawe island, Hawaii. Dang wing guns were still loaded with 1942 lot ammo!
