My 300WSM won't glance on anything, but the best defence would be a simple AR15 and 30 rounds of rapid fire. I like the stopping power of the mag but only 3 rounds and a bolt action means the first shot better be good. In the confines of a camper the AR is the way to go for bears or whatever that comes in to do you harm.
As far as topic goes, just did a 3 yard load to the dump with the $700 utility trailer my brother bought 20 years ago. Also the advantage of a trial er over a truck, he would be never let me take his $50k new F150 to the dump, but the whole family uses the heck out of that little trailer
