I love the M6 Scout. Kinda want one. Talked about that before.
Pay attention. What caught my attention was what he said about "reloading .410 shotgun shells in the field." Ooo, that could be a useful skill. Trouble is... the video archive isn't archived well, or my Google-fu is weak. So the skill remains lost to the misty fog of aeons past. Or something.

Those are good little survival guns.
With their short barrel, one can pull the projectile(s) from a .410 shell and it can launch a broadhead arrow pretty damn effectively. Voids the warranty though:-)
Not all that Tack-Tickle, but I just lucked into a nice little Savage M-24, pre-68. Been looking for a good one since back in the day. Soon as I find a new buttplate, yeah, buddy...

"What caught my attention was what he said about "reloading .410 shotgun shells in the field." Ooo, that could be a useful skill. So the skill remains lost to the misty fog of aeons past."
When it's taken down to the bare minimums, reloading can be done with ridiculously small amounts of equipment. Shotshells with a punch to knock out the primer, a flat surface to rest the primer on while pressing the hull onto it to reprime (IIRC, the M6 has a large flat on either side of the receiver) and a couple of scoops for measuring powder and shot. Getting whatever wad in past the crimp and finishing by folding the crimp back in after it's all in there are both tasks neither quick or easy by hand, but are doable with patience.
Easier to just get a Lee Loader and drag along; they don't take up much space, even less without the box.
However, when all is said and done, the components take enough space and require enough care in stowage (safety and especially to prevent spillage/waste) that it's usually easier to just haul along enough ammo in the first place and do the reloading at home.
