In any tense situation, common sense can vanish. A parent might do anything necessary to feed a child/family members even if that same person wouldn’t do anything rash to feed only themselves. It might be comforting (but unrealistic) to think that a natural disaster, riot, terrorist attack, military attack, or martial law situation would not happen to any one of us. These situations can happen in city, suburb, or rural areas so having a few plans in place is a good idea. Personally, I would have to use stealth instead of brawn because I’m pretty tiny. After dark, dressed to blend in with surroundings, and as quietly as possible and, if at all possible, with a partner so you can watch out for each other…as long as the partner is reliable. Beforehand, it would be great to know the surrounding area well so you could move quickly and notice something that is ‘out of place’ and might be dangerous. Practice is important when dealing with any tense/emergency situation.
