I'm going solo camping near corral creak outside of casper wyoming, never been to wyoming in my life, what kind of gun should I bring other than my snub .38 j frame? I'm going to be alone.

Why do you need a gun for light and fun camping? Wyoming is beautiful and has no predators to worry about. You don't even need to tie your food up at night or lock up your beef jerky. I wouldn't even bother zipping up my tent actually.
You have been going into other threads and shitting them up with your homosexualry and none sense. Animals kill, people kill. You don't get to fricking decide when that happens. Frick off or adopt a trip so we can ignore you like your dad did at birth.
you sound like a dumb and frightened Black person
>objective truth is homosexualry
id wager a majority of campers don't camp armed, anon.

They're idiots. This barely scratches the surface of recent bear attacks too. Wyoming is one of the worst states and July/August the worst times of year for bear attacks.
>oh noes the bears, they're attacking!!1
Correct
Wyoming is a constitutional carry state and even if it weren't, nobody in casper including police gives a shit if you open carry the biggest 500 s&w you can find online.
A bear typed this
Wyoming is about as deep-based as it gets, so I'd suggest anything that tickles his fancy. Preferably a full size 10mm.
Now that I know wendigos are in Wyoming and on PrepHole I'm going to bring my .40 p229 with some buffalo bore in it.
Don't be foolish, it's fricking trees and squirrels. Are you going to shit yourself if a bird flies over too?
>Why do you need a gun
This is America, there is no need requirement. Suck my star spangled boner.

Not sure if bear or wendigo

Black person, why would you go camping WITHOUT a gun? You a gay?
First, what are the laws there? What are the self defense laws there? Lastly, conceal is better than open cause you don't want to draw attention. Something bigger than your Jframe with good capacity. A large handgun or a small rifle. Maybe even a shockwave style shotgun if you have one.
>muh laws
Who gives a frick?
.44 magnum revolver with a 4-6" barrel shooting heavy, hard-cast lead bullets with a flat nose. Both grizzly and black bears in Wyoming and this is peak bear time of year.
Campers in Europe don't need a gun to go into the woods. Perhaps you should bring some testosterone injections you anxious little b***h.
They have moose, packs of wolves, mountain lions or 1,000-lb brown bears in Europe?
Out of those, everything but the mountain lions, and our bears aren't quite as obese.
"obese bears"
say it to his face
Nothing .357 magnum wouldn't fix
Pretty much. With modern hardcasts available there's no real reason to get anything bigger than .357 magnum.
Does Casper have those things? There certainly aren't any moose. Wolves are b***h made. If a mountain lion attacks you it will probably jump on you from a tree so a gun won't help. Brown bears are serious business though.
Depends on the part of Europe. My shithole will most likely see brown bears properly reintroduced in this decade, among wolves already living there.
Can you actually still camp in Europe and be certain you're more than a mile from the nearest human being?
>Campers in Europe don't need a gun to go into the woods.
Campers in Europe didn't tell their government to frick off when asked why they need a gun.
Can you legally camp in Europe without a permit?
Yes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam
no
>no fun allowed
>Campers in Europe don't need a gun to go into the woods
And that's why they're forced to watch a refugee rape their girlfriends https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4395310/Boyfriend-forced-watch-refugee-rapes-girlfriend.html
>just sat there and watched his gf get raped
>rapist only had a machete and he was alone
Shitty situation, but...c'mon. Do something.
Brits are some of the most cucked and brittle Europeans out there. Try this shit in Poland, any Baltic state, Latvia, Lithuania, etc. it won't happen. The refugee would have been beheaded as soon as his black wiener cursed the planet by seeing sunlight.
Brits, French and Germans are all homosexuals.
This is a vatnik false flagging as a pollack and invoking mutts law to make them look stupid, don’t fall for it
Not a mutt or a russian, but I'd rather be either than British. Any brit ancestors with balls probably fricked off to the states instead of living under blatant tyranny.
>German
Lmao see?
I'd argue a handcannon is exactly what you can keep ready to go at all times. Shouldering a rifle or shotgun takes much longer than drawing a 4" redhawk.
>Any brit ancestors with balls probably fricked off to the states instead of living under blatant tyranny
factual
>Any brit ancestors with balls probably fricked off to the states
Sad but true
Is the vatnik in the room with us?
Camping alone, you're going to sleep with maybe a 1 in a few hundred chance of waking up with a medical or natural emergency and not being able to get help, and worried about the gun for the 1 in hundred thousand chance of fighting the boogie man with a gun
Contrary to brainlet belief, bears are real bruh.
A hammered single shot shottie with slugs in case of large hairy things would seem to be in order. Griz are a thing. So are wolves, courtesy of our own fricking government agencies.
>So are wolves, courtesy of our own fricking government agencies.
Wolves want nothing to do with you unless you're a cow. They're not the dangerous man-eaters people seem to think they are.
t.
Wyoming has Bobcat, coyote, cougar, fox, bear, and moose.
1. Hammock camping.
2. Tie your food up.
3. 10mm is best millimeter
>10mm is best millimeter
based. I picked up a G40 for woods carry
3rd for 1cm master race. It's amazing how the loudest opponents of 10 mm are always the people who have never tried it. It's such a nice cartridge, so versatile.
OP whatever you take, please practice with it. The hits are what is going to save you.
There's some forest service that uses G20s for polar bear so if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me. I like having 15 rounds for if pack of wolves get feisty
I'd be really careful, anon. I've lived my whole life in Wheatland, WY, and I've taken many trips to Casper. Once, I saw a black person there, and I haven't relaxed since and neither should you.
As far as the wilderness around Casper goes, it's beautiful, and you have nothing to worry about. Darkies don't go outside of cities.
You're going to disappear
watchout for gothic king cobra
I’m gonna try to find this anon as he camps near corral creek outside of casper wyoming, I want to make sure he has the trip of his life, what kind of equipment should I bring other than thermal optics and a speaker that plays a loud hellish scream on a loop? He’s going to be alone.
Fricking kek. A laser pointer and audio clips of radio traffic. Or just chuck a radio nearby and do the thing
Cottontail distress call, use your hands and blowing speed to make it sound like a baby crying and escalate to Aztec death shrieks
There's lots of bears lurking amongst the trees in Wyoming. Best be you take your butt plug for protection.
What a waste.
> 10mm pistol or .44mag revolver
> SKS
>I'm going solo
>I'm going to be alone
This is full moron and super dangerous.
Can't tell if moron that is going to be eaten by wildlife, murdered by hillfolk, murdered by psycho anon reading this thread or a skinwalker trying to lure psycho anons reading this thread out there.
Or abducted by aliens. Happens all the time here it's become a norm and we just don't talk about it. But you always know when someone just got back from a trip. They are abnormally quiet and have that look on their face
It's more important to have something on you and accessible than to be carrying a hand cannon.
If you can keep it on you and ready, a 38 spl should do just fine. Being able to shoot accurately under duress is more important than anything, so be sure to practice.
Only 1 correct answer OP.
Are you car camping? Then shotgun or rifle.
If you're backpacking then the biggest bore highest capacity shit you feel comfortable with spending weight on.
Seriously though if you're not a complete moron you're extremely unlikely to get attacked by any type of wildlife, I'd be more worried about the schizo's who actually live there.
That looks like the alpine where Bigfoots hang out. They head up to the mountains to scout around then they drop into the forest to hunt. Look for signs, pic related.
If you hike a trail and it looks like something doesn't want you to be there, leave.
what if there's a gate but you can hop over it
Shotgun. I would recommend slugs. 12 gauge slugs *should* take down any big game in the US. Idk if they'll frick up a wendigo, goat man, or skinwalker, but it's your best bet.
The other thing you could do is use progressively more penetrative loads. I.e:
>first shot birdshot
>if that doesn"t work, next shot buck
>if that doesn't work, the rest of your mag is slugs
That strategy is from home defense. Might not make sense innawoods though if you have a bear or skinwalker charging you.
Why would you use birdshot for home defense?
Who fricking knows, mixed ammo is what morons use
Low penetration and supposedly just as damaging under 10 yards as buck. Idk. I don't use a shotgun for home defense - I've just heard that.
All this said anon, your gun should be a last resort for animal problems. The best thing you can do that will eliminate 99% of your animal troubles is to not be a dumbass. That means
>no food, toothpaste, drinks other than water, or anything that might be remotely food-like in your tent - keep it in your car or in a bearbag up a tree
>don't camp near a game trail
>avoid low-hanging trees that could be hiding a cougar
>if you do see a wild animal, do not panic, do not run - let it know you're there and make lots of noise and back away slowly - chances are they want nothing to do with you
I've been going innawoods for 25 years and never carried a gun - grantes I live in the Northeast and I would absolutely want a gun out West as a fail safe. But the fact is, even with wolves, bears, and shit, YOU are the baddest thing in the woods. YOU are the apex predator. As long as you're smart and don't do something dumb, you'll be fine.
Welcome to Wyoming. Enjoy your stay. Bring everything!
A man who sleeps with a rifle is a fool every night but one
45-70 Will do you right
