With .22LR I take a couple of full mags plus two or three boxes. I'd rather have more than I need than run short. It's not like ammo is heavy or bulky.

I used to do the same thing when I was young, as I got older I realised I was carting way too much stuff including ammo that I really didn't need to be carting around, now all I take is a rifle with loaded mag, a few rounds in my pocket and maybe a knife depending on what I'm doing and some water, that's about it these days for an armed bushwalk.

If I'm only going out for a couple hours on the farm I'd do similar, plus binoculars. But more ammo as I'll probably stop for some shooting somewhere.
