Pistol for a survival kit...

That sounds good. So the newer Henry one is ok? I had heard bad reviews about the older version but this sounds promising. I was thinking of the new Ruger takedown 22 but this might be better. It will be stored under the floorboards in my floatplane and only used when something happens that I can't get home and have to spend the night in the bush. I was thinking of my old Cooey 410 and I still think that might be the best option. Much easier getting a partridge for dinner with a 410 than a 22. I'll have to do some more thinking on this one.....

To tell you the truth I was not aware these came chambered in 22 LR.

A buddy of mine has the Henry mares leg in .22 and a rossi in 44mag. The rossi is fun to shoot but not very accurate and kicks pretty good. The Henry on the other hand is a dream to shoot and is incredibly accurate for what it is and by accurate I mean we were breaking clays at 100 yards from a seated position no bench (stabilizing off a knee). Very impressed. Would be an ideal "kit" gun if you don't want to spend the $950?!?!?! On a m6 scout.
 
What's wrong with a Ruger convertible revolver like (3) calibers in one Blackhawk or Single six in 22cal /mag you might need something bigger to eat than a squirrel

Theoretically, nothing is wrong with your suggestion. Legally, however no Restricted or Prohibited firearms allowed outside of very closely regulated circumstances. The Firearms Act does allow for permits in wilderness areas, but good luck convincing the authorities that you need one.
