"Travel accessories" for the present time

I put a S&W 645 on “layaway” about 8 months shy of my 21st birthday in Ashfield Massachusetts. I almost lost it in a legal misunderstanding in NY. Didn’t carry for a long time after that.
In 2010 a fellow was gored by a mountain goat in an area I liked to day-hike. I bought a cheetah to stow in a backpack and it’s been on me ever since. I use it a couple times a year to deter stubborn hogs. I am a little paranoid but I would argue that wild hogs are not as predictable as people generally.
Still have my S&W. It’s kinda like hauling a cylinder head around.
I’ve taken deer with both pistols.
