The best single most important thing Dick took along was
a good relationship with his reliable bush pilot friend.
For guns a .22lr pistol Bearcat or Kit gun or K-22 for grouse hares (Ptarmigan...if I was starving chewy liver tasting birds)
A .44 mag in a 4" Mountain Gun
a .338 scoped M-70 (338 is the 30-06 of Alaska)
A short 12 gauge for versatility
My .22 pistol would be a six inch Smith & Wesson 622. Accurate and reliable, but so light you hardly know it's there.
Ditto on the 629 Mountain Gun
My 338 is a stainless/synthetic Remington Mountain Rifle
Remington 870 12ga, 18 inch barrel with choke tubes, preferably the Mariner model
