I want to go adventure/survival camping. I want to bring along a light .22 in case I need to kill an animal for food but I do not INTEND to hunt. Just want to bring it along just in case I need it.
I live in ohio but will be doing this in Montana.
I mean that I want to bring it along in case I were to get lost and need to kill a squirrel to get through the night.
I would challenge your use of the word "intend"; you clearly do intend to hunt under specific conditions: if your preparations turn out to be inadequate for the conditions you face. The hunting is part of your plan, even if only as a fall-back measure. To go on a trip that you yourself call "adventure/survival camping" shows some intention of setting up a situation where hunting may be necessary.
Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of the concept a lot of young men seem to be getting (probably by sitting on their couches watching "survival" shows on cable TV) that the laws and regulations magically don't apply if you deliberately put yourself in danger and then declare yourself to be in a "survival" situation. A real survival situation in which the law might grant some leniency would be, for example, you are a passenger on an airplane that crashes in a forest miles from help. A camping trip for which you deliberately cut corners on your preparations in order to make it more risky is just foolishness.
Either prepare better so you won't need to hunt, or get a license and stay in areas where hunting is permitted. Whether hunting is permitted on a specific property depends on time of year and on where you are. By "public forest", you could mean a number of things, including state and national parks (where hunting is NOT normally permitted), a national forest (where hunting may be permitted) or a fish and wildlife area (established in part for the purpose of hunting). Part of preparation is choosing the right kind of property for the activities in which you would like to engage.
