There are wild turkeys on Panama.
I had occasion to use the M6 as it was meant for in Jan 1966 at USAF Jungle survival school. The turkeys would sit in the top of the jungle canopy and gobble at me because they were out of range of the 410.
For a week, I ate a lot of palm heart and fire fried snake on a stick. One night, there was a Tapar scuffling around under my hammock, but I just got tangled up trying to get it with a machate.
Now, I would prefer a M6 capable of 20 ga and .223 / 5.56. Sometimes a .22 doesn't cover it. Survival doesn't always just mean food...sometimes it means getting better tools to survive with. The M6 was designed as a military survival tool to be used anywhere in the world. While I wouldn't want to escape and evade with only 2 shots at a time unless I had to, I would prefer a more effective tool than a .410/.22.
