A little bit of back-story: My son and I are going to go camp at a ghost town in the Nevada foothills / mountains (up at about 7,000 feet), northwest of the Faultless Test Site. (I learned a couple of years ago that I have quite a bit of family history with the area.)

Spoke with a local Sheriff and he said that although there aren't a lot of critters in the area, we should pack a couple of magnum pistols with us in the case of a mountain lion (although he did say they tend to stay to more forested regions). We were planning on taking a couple of magnum pistols (and quite a few more firearms) with us anyways.

But the question is: In the case of an emergency, what sort of holster is best? I was thinking a chest / hunting holster as it allows for quick draw and easy carrying for a larger pistol. Is there something better?

Yeah, we've had a feral dog problem, in the past where I live. I played a large part in taking care of that problem. Now we have a feral hog problem. I've seen large packs of them while in the woods. While I am equipped to handle these threats, I agree that it is the "feral" humans that pose the most likely threat...

Good way to put it. While in the wilderness in the west and pnw, the people needed to be watched more than the wildlife. It's the same everywhere.
