With the new bullet offerings and some hot loadings (handloading) a .308 is just barely below a 30'06 (that's why you and I have one). And shot placement is EVERYTHING! I know how you feel about selling that model 70..... Been there, done that (not with a 70, but a mint .300 Weatherby that would core an apple @200yds) The emptiness never goes away!

Hard to argue with your choices. I think they would work anywhere in North America. Glad you remembered the 12 gauge this time! 👍🙏💪❤

Me&my wife appreciate all your videos God bless you.

Welcome back GOOD buddy ! The .22 MAGNUM rimfire is the best rimfire caliber for Survival use because it is more powerful and has longer range than the .22 Long Rifle rimfire caliber💥

Solid Chuke. Rugar 10/22 / 870 are great guns. And you automatically joined the cool kids club by mentioning a pre-64 Winchester 3006 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

If our boss thought it was necessary he hired a person to watch for critters. It was a 120lb girl with a lever 45/70. I was a little amazed she could rock that lever gun

A lower 48 dweller good general choice on the 4: 357 revolver, 12 ga pump, 308 bolt w scope, 10/22. Now that I’m in my mid 70’s - SW M60-9 w wadcutters, 12 ga Mossy 500 with Tactical (read that reduced recoil) 00 Buck & #6, 357 Lever Carbine, Remmy Apache 77 22.

IMHO I consider a good 12 guage as the #1 do everything firearm.

In my opinion, for us Lower 48'rs... 1. 12GA Pump 2. Ruger 10/22 3. 10mm pistol 4. Long Action bolt action (.270 preferably) 5. Single Shot 12GA w/inserts

35 whelen for everything! Nuff said!

Solid choices

The gun have landed on for most of my serious uses is a 16” AR in 6.5 Grendel, I’m not rich and I can’t afford to have a rifle for personal defense and a hunting rifle Also I hand load So I can absolutely defend myself if need be with it and it also is good for small game with light loads up to medium game with hot and heavy loads It’s got a 2-12 scope on it, the 2x is very usable up close Good for hunting medium game out to 200 yards, small game out to 500ish yards Supersonic out to 900 yards for long range shooting

Perfect choices

RE: Revolver vs 10mm , I agree with the 10mm for most use as normal . The title of this video was >> DO ALL > DO ALL

Reasonable picks. Thanks for the video

For me, I carry a 5 inch 460 smith in a chest rig. For a rifle I have 7mm mag with either a 160 or 168 grain barnes lrx, its about the same recoil as a 30-06 shooting 180s with some better ballistics. I think personally I would choose my 410 over a 12ga reason I'd do that is I usually have my monster revolver in tow. I think no one would argue that a 10/22 is a great tool to have practically anywhere. This has been my load out for living up here in alaska for quite some time.

Always a good watch video Chucke.

Good show, good review of the firearms selected. Thanks Michael Herrell

I totally agree with you on your choices! And in that order! I use mine in Northern Michigan!

How did the marlin trapper not make this list.

Yep, good choice 👍

I agree 100% with your list. Especially in Alaska.

Awesome video!

Benelli m4 12 gauge Steyr scout 308 w/ bipod Glock 20 FN AR15

Like your choices, for me on 22lr I’d go lever action since less likely to jam and can run dirty. For my area (southern IN) 1. 12 gage mossberg 500 2. Ruger Blackhawk.357 mag 3. HK USP compact 9mm or G19 4. 22 lr Henry lever action.

I love the 06. Easy to load, brass everywhere, doesn't blow my shoulder off like mags. I also love my model 69 44 mag which I carry bowhunting. I am upgrading to the 460 rowland however. I'll see how easy it is to carry tho. After 10 miles or so, everything becomes heavy. As they say ounce becomes pounds.

A friend just got the FN 510 it is great.

Great Video.

Good Choices. Years ago I heard that .338 Winchester Magnum was THE Alaska gun.

Great choices, and not just for Alaska.

Thanks for keeping your videos reasonably short. I never find myself not watching them completely through. You are straight and to the point. One question: what's your feeling about a shotgun in 20 gage?

Knowledge is power listen and learn excellent video..

Wow, if I'd sold your Model 70 off like that I'd be quite grieved over that too. The Remington 700 is easier to find and a great replacement if you don't have one. I have a beautiful Remington 700 CDL 30-06 I've had for years that I'll never part with. Sub 1 MOA accuracy and super dependable. With a Leupold duplex scope and leather sling it's always ready to go hunting. I highly recommend you cure your grief over the old trade with a quality older Remington 700. You can't go wrong and you'll be glad you did!

When i read the title these were the four guns that would be my picks.

The shot gun, win 308, 06 are all great choices. I have never fired a 10mm but I do own and shoot 44 mag. Ooops the Ruger 10/22 Great gun also.

Ive got a Remington model 6 pump 30-06 22” 6rnd mag, i like the pump better than a lever gun for me

308 Winchester from 110gr Hornady V-max up to a 220 Hornady brass solid 10 gauge magnum my first shotgun was a Ithaca mag 10 gauge magnum I've dropped charging bears with 10 gauge 3 1/2 inch magnum 0000 buck at 50 yards with full choke out of a 33 inch barrel 460 S&W mag I like my performance center 460 it good for difference and hunting with a good 435gr slug will drop a moose been there

I like all your choices 👍 and I have all 3 and plenty of ammo for all 👍 plus a marlin 336 in 30-30 gotta have a lever action of some kind lol

For a handgun , I think the 44 or the 454 Ruger , they can shoot from mild to wild , including shot shells , & not need manipulations as you need in an auto , common ammo .

I have a 10mm, 12 gauge and a 22 S, L and LR 10 round revolver.

Nice list.....Mine; 4. Ruger Ranch Mini-14 .556 NATO (small game), 3. Benelli Supernova 12 ga. 3 1/2" magnum slugs (bear/moose defense), 2. Ruger Alaskan .454 Casull Revolver (more defense), 1. Marlin .45-70 Govt. Lever, 1a. 30-06 Hunting Rifle (Agreed).

I thought you were going to list, in any order: 10/22 lr 10mm 12 guage 45-70.

Good selection the 30-06 beats the 45-70 in the fact that if you need more range for game the 06 has got it.

based on ammo price: 308 is a better choice. 9mm such as a sig or a .45 over the 10mm other 2 picks were solid.

I got all 4

Chuck could conceal a F150 under his belly..

Chuke, when are you going to be doing a video on optics, Vortex, Holosun, Trij, etc?

My choice In maine..I carry glock 43x..9mm for home protection...carry gun...Remington 870 for home defence..birds...and big game with slugs....30.0.6 rifle for deer and anything else big or small game...and 357 models 66 revolver for home defence. Canping...bear moose defence...ect...

Good choices. Excellent points on the versatility of the shotgun and the advantages of the 10mm or other pistols over a heavy recoiling revolver. My rifle choice just might be my M1A Scout, eslecially for defense/survival more so than hunting, and damn the weight. Of the hamdguns i have, if i had moved up there, my 686 with careful ammo choice would have been my woods handgun until i found something i liked better (which might not happen; it is an excellent gun, and we go back 31 years together come late August). For an auto, i might go with my 5" Kimber unless/until i got a 10mm. Somebody makes a 255 hard cast in 45 ACP; I forget who. Another good woods/survival gun would be a 357 lever gun like my Marlin. Originally with a Williams peep sight and now a Weaver 1-3x. I call it the Hillbilly Patrol Rifle. Accurate, easy to use, good ballistics, and a good centerfire to intro new shooters. Fortunately, we are not limited to only 4 choices. Obviously a 45-70 or 444 Marlin is a great idea in bear country. A dark horse candidate might be the Hi Point 10 mm carbine. Saw them at SW in Wasilla about 4 yrs ago for $350. Might be a good choice for someone just starting out into guns, for home defense and animal defense. A good sling and a red dot, and you are set. Anyway, just a few thoughts. Always enjoy your videos. Small ray of hope for us Kalifornia dwellers: last night i was on the DOJ website updating my address so i can buy ammo (required under our onerous ammo purchase law now). I noticed on the handgun roster that some new models have been added, apparently as a result of a lawsuit against Bonta. Among those added were 2 Hellcats, S&W Victory 22, 2 Sig P320's, ine of the Turkish Hi-Power copies (which probably does have a mag disconnect) and several XD-M 9mm models. I hope the 10mm is coming. But if DOJ was forced to add newer models without mag disconnect "safeties", that is a good thing. Our choices will expand. I think a federal judge already ruled against the roster completely, but of course our AG appealed, and the Ninth Circus grants an automatic stay pending appeal (favoritism toward the govt), so the roster stands for now. But maybe this is a sign of changes to come. Heaven knows we need some hope down here. Stay safe

Winchester Extreme Weather 30/06. 👌

I think one and two should be swapped personally. In terms of “do it all” the 10mm handgun is by far the best.

Great choices Chuke. Anyone have an opinion on a hot 40 instead of 10mm (I don't live in Alaska, though in bear country in lower 48)?

10mm Glock 20 and a 20” suppressed 7PRC for anything and everything in southeast AK with some moose hunts up north

Where did you find your super long fiber optic for your Mossberg shotgun?

What is best AR-15 for Alaska?

10mm and 12 gauge.

If this was a 5 gun list would 45-70 be on it?

rhe mossberg.. bent the shield to make it fit with mag pull forearm.LOL.are you kinding me?

There’s nothing wrong with the DPMS AR10, it would be on my list and I do use one

Good Morning ☀️ Chuke. I Gave Your KZfaq Video A Huge Thumbs Up 👍 Ok Chuke. Iam Still Praying For The Entire World Too Ok Chuke. Amen. I Love Watching All Of Your KZfaq Videos And I Love Watching All Of Your KZfaq Livestreams Videos Too Ok Chuke. I Hope That You Are Having A Wonderful And Blessed 😇 Friday Morning Chuke. I Love Watching You Shoot At The Gun Range Too Chuke. Keep Up The Great Work Chuke And Thanks For This KZfaq Video Update.

I agree with 10mm over the revolver. My 5' daughter in law can fire and reload my and husband's RIA 10mm auto's without difficulty. She can shoot my S&W 66 ok but not reload it with any amount of speed. BUT ABOVE ALL PRACTICE WITH ALL YOU HAVE! Especially up there! As your live depends on it.

Good morning

I would a 357 revolver and you'd have the best of every gun forr wverything

I was thinking how completely predictable your choices were, until you hit me with your #1. Thought for sure it was gonna be an AR. 👍

What if I had to choose just one I would choose the 1022 because

I feel quite good after watching this video. #prepared

Good Morning Everybody. I Hope That Everybody Is Having A Wonderful And Blessed 😇 Friday Morning Today. Amen. 🙏.

Is that a metal gear solid T-shirt!!???

North american dogman project forums has videos of dogman and bigfoot links posted on the GENERAL FORUM. Chuke did you see the truck dashcam bigfoot video on the forum ?

no more fnx .460?

Great choices, Chuke! What do you think about an AR10 as an all around gun? Short, powerful, high capacity, can be used for hunting and/or defense.

22rf semi autoLOL. looks like a tank tool.. ya need a longer mag..

Top 4 is not enough. A larger caliber rifle ( 338 mag) offers greater one shot stopping power. Same with 44 Mag handgun. Also there are rifle/pistol combos that use 44 Mag. Good for short range protection and hunting. Same I believe with 10 mm. 22 l r also has that versatility. You make good points, just need a top 10 list. 4 is not enough.

Did ya drop that rifle in a bucket of paint?

#1 its the pumpy. Id take my pumpy over anything else. Anything from Ptarmigan to bear. (Know why its call chicken alaska? , cause nobody could spell Ptarmigan) #2 a rifle, not hear to argue calibers. I like .300wm myself but to each his own they will all due. #3 a hand gun. Here caliber matters. We are talking about alaska so Nothing less than 10mm. And i really like a chest holster when out. Seams like the best spot. Doesn't get n the way of anything and is comfortable. #4 you ain't going to be carring anything more than that.

For the most part I agree about most of you selections but I'm also kind of old school to and I like a good 44 magnum revolver as my side arm of choice or a Desert Eagle 50 AE

Swiss Army Knife

Four 50 BMG rifles.

Honestly the only reason I have a 500 magnum is because it’s the biggest

I m sure the 10 mm is capable, But i have watched your videos of them blowing up even with kkm/ wolf barrels... So my picks Are the 480 ruger alaskan in a chest holster 480 ruger Redhawk 7.5 or 9.5 In that triple k torso rig Freedom arms model 83 454/ 45 lc A 475/ 500 linebaugh could also replace any of the above. Springfield armory hellcat pro, gives 17 rounds, Enuf for wolf skulls. 22 lr or 22 mag, got em both as sinle 9 and single 10. Marlin 444p outfitter Or a 50 alaskan takedown laced into the backpack framework Bolt gun would be a 338 win or 35 whelen. Yes, that means I have to reload my own supplies, But I'm Not wasting 500 rounds a day on target practice. I really like that 12 guage Remington tac 14 that followed me home.

I worked in Alaska from time to time the people I worked for gave us glock 100mms to have on hand.

Well, ive got to give the guy credit for pretty much taking the same subject and milking it from every angle for every video. 😂

I think 45-70 LA needs to be swapped for the 700 if we are talking "do all." 700 is more task specific in my view. I just added a Ranger Point Precision hand guard to my .44 Mag Henry X. I have a Diamond D buttcuff on there and a RPP quiver. Thar puts me with 20 Buffalo Bore Hardcast on board. Very manuverable, lots of firepower

Agreed

Would prefer 7mm Rem Mag and 9mm pistol.

Chuke, you almost made good sense in this video until you pulled up that polymer framed 10mm. When you show one that is an all-steel gun, I will congratulate you, Sir.

Not “do all” because you can’t hunt small game with a 10mm this is more of a “must own” list

I'd rather an M1 Carbine 30cal over a 22,because I'd rather not face a Bear with a 22, I'll take 2 44mag S&W 629classsic's over the 10mm Auto pistol and the 12gage shot gun, Because the 10mm Auto is not 100 % Reliable and the 12gage shot gun is too Heavy as far as I'm concerned, And maybe a 444 Marlin Actually the best do everything rifle would be a 444 Marland,,,,,because you can also use all the bullets made for the 44magnum,, choices like 125gr and 165gr up to 405gr 180gr 240gr 300gr ,, giving you a brush gun a Bear gun and a long Range varmint gun, long Range dear gun and small game, the 45 70 is 458cal Larger than the 45cal pistols,,big bore straight wall rounds are the best choice for everything if you got the right bullets, and a pump action rifle with big high capacity magazines with dubble pistol grips would be the best because you could shoot a lot of rounds fast and different power levels with no concern for feeding issues of automatics will have,

those slugs are a problem when they get wet

Nope, not joking……

10mm not 100mm fat finger

CHUKE: I’ve been subscribed to a channel for some time now titled “Scary Bear Attacks”, where the channel’s creator (Addicus) covers bear attacks from all over the world. He’s got a new one almost every day, check it out if you haven’t already. 👍🐻 - Jason/Freedom Fighter Until Death/Vermont, FRA (‘FRA’, meaning “The Failed Republic Of America”)

Yes, you should be ashamed.

I stopped watching when you pulled out a .22. 🤣

These Earnest Goes To Alaska videos are getting subject-matter repetitive

I wish they'd make an FN510 that has a standard blade safety trigger out of the box, oh and isn't made out of gold- for those of us on a budget 🤣
