in the woods i generally have an s&w m&p .40 fs in a serpa holster (yes, the same one the da narc shot himself in the foot with in front of the high school classroom). i don't want it jostling loose and having to search for it in overgrown cutover, bottom of a duck hole, etc. if not the fs, then .40 shield in a wright owb leather holster that grips it pretty tight.
