Survival Kit, at lease a good start on one...

[belchfire]

Available from Skinner Sights, you'd need to add some way to purify and carry water as well as a Bic lighter and some tinder good tinder and a couple of candles (the Far North is frequently quite damp if not frozen solid!). For Bear Country I'd lean towards the .45-70 option but from a rifle the .44 Magnum will be fairly good with hard cast lead bullets.

On the opening page of their site, just scroll down.

Smith 406 hard cast in my area.

Er, don't know of a Smith 406, maybe a 460 Mag? Those are monsters, that cartridge has a pressure limit the same as a Winchester 308 rifle cartridge, for me that's too much for a handgun-call me a wimp. I held one once, those X frame revolvers should come with wheels! That cartridge would make a really good thumper round for a lever action rifle though...
