The first mistake is FLYING to a DISTANT island without a means of defense. In the current state of the world, I am staying home, but I am pretty low-maintenance. I don’t need an umbrella-drink vacation.
Unless the bad guys came THROUGH the jungle to get to your resort. Of course not all resorts are even proximal to jungles, so that might not be an option. Hiding is an option if there's somewhere that a force combing through a resort might not look, like maybe on the roof of that bungalow, or under it if there's a crawlspace.
Options you gave, I'd take #4 kayak. Really though, we'd collect our basic thing's. I always travel with a survival bag.. We'd collect blades, get to the jungle, camouflage. I'd make a "pig spear" hide, take a gun from aggressor.
First of all, if there's no gun EDC, I ain't there. But secondly, I'm doing this: Take 120 seconds and gather absolute essential gear. Lighter Kitchen knife Dark clothing and blankets Flashlight Water and food Shoes Then I'm figuring out what direction the trouble is, then I'm going the opposite direction and holding up in a non populated area with no buildings, or people. Then be quiet. But I'm putting 2 miles between me and the action. Based on your description of distance, i have plenty of time to take 2 min to grab essentials👍😆
Great video Jason! Looking forward to another scenario from you soon. Gets the grey matter working.. what is coincidental, is it is our 10 year anniversary in a few weeks and we’re going away - I’ll be with my training and none of my normal items - I’ll be feeling naked for sure! My mind will be everywhere and my wife will be loving life, not worrying about a thing, because I have it in hand 😅
Option 1. a rally bad idea. it leaves you open to an attack from many fronts, the thing could just burn down with you in it. Option 3. is not a good idea either. you proble don't know the train and have no supplies to survive in the area. So that leaves options 2 and 4. They both have some dangers (you may be seen and shot or you may not find anyone and end up in were spot then you are right now) but with that said what I would do is option 2. try to see what is going on. if its already taken care of then go back to the building. if it's an active situation with multiple threats then we can attempt to get to the boats if it is save to do so or we can hit the jungle and pick up any supplies we can scvange along the way.
I don't travel overseas much anymore but I have always had contacts in the areas. I always "Recon" the area by reading up on the politics and possible groups that could be a threat. Always have good maps of the area. I always traveled with a good compass. These days water bottle with filtration and treatment is cheap and light. I used to run around the beach in flip flops. A few foot injuries later convinced me that the very least footwear is river sandals. Completely enclosed crosstrek type shoes that will hold up against coral or sharp rocks and sticks. Always gain an actual weapon like knife and machete when possible as soon as possible. Can't always do that these days. Travel by water is much easier than jungle. But the wide open is dangerous because it's easier to be seen and if the bad guys have power boats you're at a disadvantage. If the shooting starts move out of the area cautiously. You don't want to run into an ambush stage by a blocking force. Hyper vigilance and paranoia are survival skills. Enjoy the beach.
I’m a veteran. So I recognize shots versus fireworks. I would probably find a good hide. But would be prepared to fight if it came to it. Can’t hide in your room. I may go, but I’m taking someone with me.
#1 into the jungle. I agree with you. Always have a plan B for wherever you go and improve it upon arrival. Have a plan, work the plan, Everyone needs to know the plan.
I am taking option 2, collect intel and find or fashion a weapon. That would entail dressing with clothes for a hike, shoes, as many of the “Cs” of survival as possible, then checking out the dangers. After securing a weapon of some sort, we would go for the canoes if it is safe to do so. If that does not look clear, a stealth getaway would be the next option.
I usually have a small survival kit wherever I go, just super basic stuff, a folding pocket knife, a small flashlight, a lighter a small amount of rope and then a set of comfortable sneakers. I’m actually on vacation right now and I have those basics with me except I brought a Leatherman this time instead of a folding pocket knife, even better I’d say.
2:33 (PAUSE) It's a peaceful island... so whatever came, came from the sea, on something better than those ''rentals''... so option 4 is off... I'm thinking of a combination of options 2 and 3 ... hiding in the jungle, spying to learn more, maybe getting arms from them... as a tourist destination, authorities will be informed, help will come... I'm not alone, I'll try to protect who I'm with, by hurting anything that stands in the way... I'LL BE THE BEAST! I won't fall to your ''restrictions'' Jason... I'll do me!...
Well Jason ,intel is important then grabbing what might make a night survivalable. Maybe a sheet to wrap up in the night to keep mosquitoes off you. Any kitchen knives for self defense and making a spear and any bushcrafting. I've spent a lot of time canoeing and kayaking the various lakes and rivers in Ohio, this would be the last thing I'd do in the ocean , The exposure,And I'm sure you or anyone else would too.
In this day and age, I would never leave the country and rarely leave home for destinations farther than 15 to 20 miles, so I know I could home on foot within 24 hours. In Florida, we have stand your ground laws and it is legal to carry. That said, if something was to happen in my neck of the woods, I would be high tailing it home and keep as low a profile as possible if I clearly didn't know what was going on.
Yeah, you do still have some rights in most of this country (major cities excluded), but in a foreign country you only have the rights that they choose to allow you to have and that's often a matter of how much money you have!
@rogerjensen5277 They will serve you their justice and not worry a bit about what really happened. Some times you don't want to step foot outside the tourist trap.
I'm with most, don't go anywhere you can't defend yourself..... But, if I were to be in this scenario, I would have first researched the area. You always want to know your options just in case. Once there, defense should always be on your mind. Know what's around you, that could be used as a weapon or tool. Unfortunate for me, I am always ready for a fight, not that I want to, just that expecting the worst usually brings me peace when nothing happens. My wife and I were at a rally last weekend and soon after walking in my wife said to me, "Your not working, relax." I just laugh and said I guess I'm just being cautious. LOL Tough times we live in these days.
This is quite the guessing game without knowing where the noise is coming from. I'm probably heading for the jungle since it provides concealment either way.
I would already have a few six-foot 'spears' ready. When confronted with the situation, I would dress with regular clothes, gather supplies (especially drinking water), head into the jungle, travel about a hundred yards in then make a right or left 90 degree hook (opposite the direction of the gun shots), travel for about 15 minutes using the sun to navigate, then turn back toward the beach and upon reaching the shore follow it staying close to or just inside the tree line. Since this is a vacation spot, there will be other places with people along the beach. The reason for the short trip thru the jungle is that it's hard to track thru a jungle but it's easy to get lost in one! A spear is just a walking stick with a pointy end so it shouldn't bother anyone you meet too much!
My ol lady and I have no desire to visit the tropics. But playing along suppose we wind up in some 2nd or 3rd world tourist trap I would either acquire or bring a weapon. Period. Pocket knife or paring knife from a kid on the street. Something tsa cant find. Etc. Thats your job. I know gun fire vs fireworks.. car backfires.. etc etc. And no point in playing hero.. my family is my priority. Not distant screams. Hiding might be a great option.. but not in your room. Now venturing deep into the forest gets people killed let alone a tropical jungle. Breaking trail is hard slow work. Unless that beach is 100yrds away in a clear direction hiding just into the jungle enough youre concealed but have eyes/ears on your resort/room may be a viable option. Boat might not be great. Pulled further out.. pushed into rocks.. or even make a successful journey.. now youre miles deeper into nowhere and no one knows youre there. The jungle and ocean are just as eager to kill a fool. Have a weapon. Make distance. Hide. Observe.
I agree with you and we would hit the jungle. I would take the time to grab bottled water on the way out the door. Dehydration happens fast in a tropical setting.
Simple. No boom stick allowed = No tourii $$$. Stay off planes, can't even have a pocketknife or fingernail clippers!!!! I don't voluntarily go anywhere I can't have protection devices.
Before leaving on vacation I would have gathered intel of location we would be staying at as well the surrounding areas . After Arrival the first thing I would do is go to one of the local shops that sell or make machetes and Purchase two of them then gather other resources like bottled water and so on for emergencies . One other thing is I would have a plan for us as a couple and if we was to get separated to what we would do just in case something like this would arrive and that would be made back at home in the states and as well go over different things in our room after getting different supplies and the two machetes , we would go over our plans before and during our first 2 hours of arrival of our vacation spot. Now if a threat arise then we would put plan into action possibly if time permitted gather our most important essentials outside of our documents / Ids aka passports then make way to safety designated by us before and after our arrival but as I said we would have this done before and during our first 2 ok maybe 3 hour of arrival so we would have a clear indication what to do as a couple or separate .
I would head to my bungalow, get some clothing on and shoes, then head toward the main resort area as long as it isn't near the gunfire. No firearms, grab a knife, even a plastic knife will cut through skin, please don't ask me how i know.
K, after the pause, listening to your thoughts. Get ur thinking, but I'm still not a target in the room, I'm not goin into the jungle barefoot n only in my swimsuit / her bikini b/c I'd have no idea how long we'd have to stay away, how far we'd have to go, etc. If I could take even 10-15 seconds to grab clothes/shoes, I'd do make the dash n get Intel out the door n on the way, but that wasn't the option. You said it the threat was distant... and option 4, still a target in the open. Stickin w/ #2 n being darn quick about it, not lingering on the weapon part.
Grab bamboo at least it's a stick for a weapon. Grab shoes. Kayaking in the dark may not be safe...rocks under the water could be dangerous... I'd try moving around and toward the main section of the resort vewwy quietly.
Alright, im paused at 9:22 lol Personally im not in the habit of being anywhere without some kind of weapon or tool. I dont believe in leaving it at home or in the hotel room because its a vacation. That said, i cant think of many tropical locals that permit firearms, so its going to be blades. Or other hidden or improvised weapons, so going out to look for a weapon is never going to be something im interested in. Assuming these are actual gunshots, id much rather fortify that structure for the first 2 hours after the incident. After 2 hours wifey stays fortified while i go look around for signs of life. If i dont see any its time for an escape plan. If i do then we can investigate further. My assumption would be drug runners or pirates, and i wouldnt like my odds against those dudes so if i see things like common colors or uniforms we're dipping lol if i could take one of them out, and get a firearm off of them then it might change things, but only in that id have a more aggressive option available to me. My rationale behind waiting two hours is essentially thats how long it takes for a tactical unit to respond somewhere at the longest. Armed forces are usually there sooner, to secure the scene. If they dont show up the situation is probably resolved already, or theres a complete takeover of the island by badguys. Regardless, no reason to leave a secure location over except to see whats going on. Depending on how secure our room, bungalo or whatever is i might opt to find better shelter, but otherwise that is my plan for the majority of the "far from home" circumstances i can reasonably expect to encounter
Well my better half said she was going to see what was going on. I told her I was going to our room that way if she's tortured she can't tell I went to the jungle. Somebody 's got to tell what happened!
Me and the dinosaur would get dressed and head for the jungle, trying to wipe out footprints along the way. Dog footprints would be a lot easier though.
From a woman's point of view, with how the world is right now, I wouldn't go anywhere without knowing first what security/policing options are available in that kind of scenario. And how corrupt the leadership/policing are. Only safe options for me. So, scratch your 4 😄 In mine there is one... call the emergency number and ask about the cause, then decide. With your options, I guess I would opt for the gathering intel with extreme caution. Head into a jungle? It's not like strolling a park... deadly snakes, spiders, panthers, poinsonous plants? I guess if you're armed with a kitchen knife, that be the way to go 🙄 Nah... I'd rather go with the enemy I know... cautiously.
Hmmm 🤔 If it’s my wife and I anniversary we would have reservations at the local Waffle House, if we hear gunshots, no worries, the people there would start shooting back ! God Bless America! 🇺🇸 ( moral is don’t leave the country ! ).
Woods or water, depends on what the location holds. And what my wife can handle. Either way, I'm very quickly grabbing essentials while my wife changes into clothes. Blanket, knife, first aid kit, fishing kit, and water bottle. Then we be gone!
First day first thing evaluate the location and what is near by. Always have a travel bag /72-hour kit near the door. Never be more than arms reach from shoes, pants and a shirt. It's an unknown strange place have bottled water. An intermediate limp with a good hard wood walking stick. I don't fly ever any more ask what TSA will alow in that regard. On a cruise ship your as good as gold. If your in the land of big sharp knives be aware of where you might find one. If you hear something or see something. Go for cover get dressed. Then get your things if you can and find a hide. Gather information. Don't go off into the bush and get lost forever for no reason. Treat the help with respect, you don't need some one out to get you.
With my health anymore I'm not getting involved in anything I don't have to. I would hate to run out on someone in need of help though. I was in the Bahamas in 2001 or 2002 and no way I would get involved there alone and unarmed, it's not a hospitable place once off the beach front.
I'm not going anywhere in this climate that I can't have my get home gear at least. But say we did, I'm not running naked and afraid into the jungle. I'll grab what cloths, shoes, blanket, bug spray, mosquito net, a knife, water and a little food if I have time. I'd lay low in the woods for awhile and then if all's quiet, go to the jungle edge and observe quietly. If all hell's broke loose, I'll eventually plan an a supply / weapon acquisition trip at night.
2:36 I was at a gun show with my wife and a man shot two people. The vendors all drew firearms and aggressively commanded him to put the gun down. Time line of the event gun shot goes off. Step 1. Flinch because I’m a human being and I wasn’t expecting that Step 2. Grab my wife and put myself in between her and the direction of the danger. Ask if ok (both parties quick self assessment) Step 3. Identify the nearest exit Step 4. Threat assessment before moving from safe location (go - no go) Step 5. GO Step 6. threat assessment new location. Step 7. Verify each other’s personal assessment. Step 8. Put more distance between you and the threat. Apparently it was an accident that turned into what could only be described as a cartoonish Mexican standoff. Why this accident was 500% preventable. First none of the guns were zip tied. Second someone put a round in the chamber of that rifle. Third neither the vendor or the shooter checked if the chamber was empty. Fourth the shooter pointed the rifle in an unsafe direction. Fifth the shooter did not keep his finger off the trigger. This accident that affected 3 lives and had the potential to harm many many more.
in my opinion, its best to gather some intel before deciding which way to go. it would be idiotic to just run in any direction. second your in a different country, it could be everything is fine its just a family party or someone killed someones dog both of those would also make you feel like an idiot for running. better to understand the culture where you are going, then evaluate the situation before making a move that could put you in more harm. in your intel see if you can see whats going on, see how many people are involved, are they on foot or using vehicles. also what type of weapons do they have and what direction do they appear to be moving in. gathering as much of this as you can, will help you know how and where to move.
First choice would be not leaving the United States and not even traveling to states where I cannot have my firearms on / with me. Second choice, run to the kayak and paddle away from the gunfire.
During bad weather and if I'm traveling and not at home, I always sleep in comfortable clothing with my shoes ready to put my feet into. I don't want to be in any situation in pajamas are like those hillbilly women who have on a t-shirt but no bra.
i would try to determine what direction the trouble was and how far away it is. if we had time, minimum i would gather some clothes and shoes, and possibly some kind of weapon. take off opposite direction of the trouble carrying our clothes. and go like heck out of there. after we were a good distance from the chaos, put our clothes on, and take off again. hopefully we aren't too far away from a safe place. or, i have no intention of leaving my country, no desire to go to any other country.
The first mistake is FLYING to a DISTANT island without a means of defense. In the current state of the world, I am staying home, but I am pretty low-maintenance. I don’t need an umbrella-drink vacation.
Some people work overseas and travel. You do not always have an option for self defense tools. Get out and live life.
As a former Navy diverand retired LEO I'd go to sea. But first and foremost I wouldn't be going to some island in this day and time
Unless the bad guys came THROUGH the jungle to get to your resort. Of course not all resorts are even proximal to jungles, so that might not be an option.
Hiding is an option if there's somewhere that a force combing through a resort might not look, like maybe on the roof of that bungalow, or under it if there's a crawlspace.

First of all, if there's no gun EDC, I ain't there.
But secondly, I'm doing this:
Take 120 seconds and gather absolute essential gear.
Lighter
Kitchen knife
Dark clothing and blankets
Flashlight
Water and food
Shoes
Then I'm figuring out what direction the trouble is, then I'm going the opposite direction and holding up in a non populated area with no buildings, or people.
Then be quiet.
But I'm putting 2 miles between me and the action.

Agree.
Good plan, particularly if you thought it out ahead of time.
Great video Jason! Looking forward to another scenario from you soon.

A mix of 2 and 3. I would get outside, gather intel and look for a weapon and then possible run
I don't travel overseas much anymore but I have always had contacts in the areas. I always "Recon" the area by reading up on the politics and possible groups that could be a threat. Always have good maps of the area. I always traveled with a good compass. These days water bottle with filtration and treatment is cheap and light. I used to run around the beach in flip flops.

Travel by water is much easier than jungle. But the wide open is dangerous because it's easier to be seen and if the bad guys have power boats you're at a disadvantage.
If the shooting starts move out of the area cautiously. You don't want to run into an ambush stage by a blocking force.
Hyper vigilance and paranoia are survival skills.
Enjoy the beach.
I’m a veteran. So I recognize shots versus fireworks. I would probably find a good hide. But would be prepared to fight if it came to it. Can’t hide in your room. I may go, but I’m taking someone with me.
Absolutely!
Churchill agreed. "Take one with you" was his directive to the British during WW2.

If your on the plane no sharps. Buy a simple knife in country.
@@davej7458 yes good idea. Local flights just put it in your checked luggage.
We took our honeymoon on an island and its our 10th anniversary, I might go back and pick her up.
2:33 (PAUSE) It's a peaceful island... so whatever came, came from the sea, on something better than those ''rentals''... so option 4 is off...

In these times, don't leave home were all your preps are. 😮
Get the intel. Jungle mode.
Great info brother.
Good sinario see ya on the next one
Sounds like it's gonna be a quickie, not long and drawn out.
Number 2 and number 4. Going into a jungle can get you lost, then you die
I think I would probably do recon, then grab an improvised weapon and get out of there. But I love this thought-provoking scenario.
Simple. No boom stick allowed = No tourii $$$. Stay off planes, can't even have a pocketknife or fingernail clippers!!!! I don't voluntarily go anywhere I can't have protection devices.
A blend Go to the room Grab whatever I can find for an EDC. Kitchen knives whatever. Run to run to the kayak. Take off.
Option 5: Leroooooy Jeeeeeenkinnns
Before leaving on vacation I would have gathered intel of location we would be staying at as well the surrounding areas . After Arrival the first thing I would do is go to one of the local shops that sell or make machetes and Purchase two of them then gather other resources like bottled water and so on for emergencies . One other thing is I would have a plan for us as a couple and if we was to get separated to what we would do just in case something like this would arrive and that would be made back at home in the states and as well go over different things in our room after getting different supplies and the two machetes , we would go over our plans before and during our first 2 hours of arrival of our vacation spot. Now if a threat arise then we would put plan into action possibly if time permitted gather our most important essentials outside of our documents / Ids aka passports then make way to safety designated by us before and after our arrival but as I said we would have this done before and during our first 2 ok maybe 3 hour of arrival so we would have a clear indication what to do as a couple or separate .
I would head to my bungalow, get some clothing on and shoes, then head toward the main resort area as long as it isn't near the gunfire. No firearms, grab a knife, even a plastic knife will cut through skin, please don't ask me how i know.
Gotta move out, clothes, shoes, maybe a couple of mini bottles from the fridge! Stay mobile and create distance.
Option 2, ❤ Bushcat
You wearing a Filson!?
Hopefully you bought that one size large... They shrink
If I’m unarmed then I’m headed for the jungle. I can’t swim very well, so I’ll take my chances with the mosquitoes!
Beautiful cat!! 😊
K, after the pause, listening to your thoughts.

Regardless, no reason to leave a secure location over except to see whats going on. Depending on how secure our room, bungalo or whatever is i might opt to find better shelter, but otherwise that is my plan for the majority of the "far from home" circumstances i can reasonably expect to encounter
Sorry I didn't take this trip because my dinosaur was not able to go with me. Never leave home without your dinosaur!!
Hahahaha, wonder how many won't get the dino reference!
I totally got it. Good one
The T-Rex are all small arms experts.
@@stevencunningham4680 whoosh!
Option 2 into option 4 or 3 depending on the results of 2
If I'm going to the jungle I want shoes on my feet! Maybe a long sleeve shirt too.
Go to the jungle and loop around to the beach for a boat or kayak or run through the jungle to another resort or home or vehicle.
Door #2. Option 1 & 4, you're a target. Option 3, you're not equipped.
Well my better half said she was going to see what was going on. I told her I was going to our room that way if she's tortured she can't tell I went to the jungle. Somebody 's got to tell what happened!
Lock the bungalo door
Me and the dinosaur would get dressed and head for the jungle, trying to wipe out footprints along the way. Dog footprints would be a lot easier though.
From a woman's point of view, with how the world is right now, I wouldn't go anywhere without knowing first what security/policing options are available in that kind of scenario. And how corrupt the leadership/policing are. Only safe options for me. So, scratch your 4 😄 In mine there is one... call the emergency number and ask about the cause, then decide. With your options, I guess I would opt for the gathering intel with extreme caution.
Head into a jungle? It's not like strolling a park... deadly snakes, spiders, panthers, poinsonous plants? I guess if you're armed with a kitchen knife, that be the way to go 🙄 Nah... I'd rather go with the enemy I know... cautiously.
Ask my wife to move closer towards the gun fire. 😅😅
Hmmm 🤔 If it’s my wife and I anniversary we would have reservations at the local Waffle House, if we hear gunshots, no worries, the people there would start shooting back ! God Bless America! 🇺🇸 ( moral is don’t leave the country ! ).
Head down the coast/river to safer location.
HIT THE WOODS AND GET SOME ELEVATION...HILLTOP ,,,MAYBE A TREE WATER IS KEY DRINKING WATER
Simple:: I don’t go places that I don’t have self protection 😎
I WILL NOT GO WHERE I CAN'T HAVE A WEAPON!
HIT JUNGLE AND GET INTEL AT A DISTANCE THEN GO FOR HELP IN BOAT.
That could not happen to me, because i would not choose a so boring place to go.
Evade and live another day.
🇦🇺😎👍I’ve been unsubscribed … I just resubscribed
Happens to me every day.
We'd likely head to the deep jungle. Gain what intel we could.
Woods or water, depends on what the location holds. And what my wife can handle. Either way, I'm very quickly grabbing essentials while my wife changes into clothes. Blanket, knife, first aid kit, fishing kit, and water bottle. Then we be gone!
First day first thing evaluate the location and what is near by. Always have a travel bag /72-hour kit near the door. Never be more than arms reach from shoes, pants and a shirt. It's an unknown strange place have bottled water.
An intermediate limp with a good hard wood walking stick. I don't fly ever any more ask what TSA will alow in that regard. On a cruise ship your as good as gold.
If your in the land of big sharp knives be aware of where you might find one.
If you hear something or see something. Go for cover get dressed. Then get your things if you can and find a hide. Gather information. Don't go off into the bush and get lost forever for no reason.
Treat the help with respect, you don't need some one out to get you.
Get as much inter and make an informed decision based on that
With my health anymore I'm not getting involved in anything I don't have to. I would hate to run out on someone in need of help though. I was in the Bahamas in 2001 or 2002 and no way I would get involved there alone and unarmed, it's not a hospitable place once off the beach front.
I'm not going anywhere in this climate that I can't have my get home gear at least. But say we did, I'm not running naked and afraid into the jungle. I'll grab what cloths, shoes, blanket, bug spray, mosquito net, a knife, water and a little food if I have time. I'd lay low in the woods for awhile and then if all's quiet, go to the jungle edge and observe quietly. If all hell's broke loose, I'll eventually plan an a supply / weapon acquisition trip at night.
Escape and evade. Create distance between yourself and the unkown threat.
kayak
I'm not going out of the US, and I'm not going to NY because it would be just as bad .
2:36 I was at a gun show with my wife and a man shot two people. The vendors all drew firearms and aggressively commanded him to put the gun down. Time line of the event gun shot goes off.
Step 1. Flinch because I’m a human being and I wasn’t expecting that
Step 2. Grab my wife and put myself in between her and the direction of the danger. Ask if ok (both parties quick self assessment)
Step 3. Identify the nearest exit
Step 4. Threat assessment before moving from safe location (go - no go)
Step 5. GO
Step 6. threat assessment new location.
Step 7. Verify each other’s personal assessment.
Step 8. Put more distance between you and the threat.
Apparently it was an accident that turned into what could only be described as a cartoonish Mexican standoff. Why this accident was 500% preventable. First none of the guns were zip tied. Second someone put a round in the chamber of that rifle. Third neither the vendor or the shooter checked if the chamber was empty. Fourth the shooter pointed the rifle in an unsafe direction. Fifth the shooter did not keep his finger off the trigger. This accident that affected 3 lives and had the potential to harm many many more.
KITTY!
Besides I truly hate the jungle been there done that when I was younger not going back sorry
Only way is if I could take my survival bag and AR-15 and 3000 rounds ammo so guess I'm going to go somewhere in the Wyoming or Texas area
You sure you want that information? 😏
in my opinion, its best to gather some intel before deciding which way to go. it would be idiotic to just run in any direction. second your in a different country, it could be everything is fine its just a family party or someone killed someones dog both of those would also make you feel like an idiot for running. better to understand the culture where you are going, then evaluate the situation before making a move that could put you in more harm. in your intel see if you can see whats going on, see how many people are involved, are they on foot or using vehicles. also what type of weapons do they have and what direction do they appear to be moving in. gathering as much of this as you can, will help you know how and where to move.
IS IT OCTOBER 7 2024?...
First choice would be not leaving the United States and not even traveling to states where I cannot have my firearms on / with me. Second choice, run to the kayak and paddle away from the gunfire.
Sorry, I can't speculate on a situation my wife and I would never put ourselves in.
Ha! No imagination?
During bad weather and if I'm traveling and not at home, I always sleep in comfortable clothing with my shoes ready to put my feet into. I don't want to be in any situation in pajamas are like those hillbilly women who have on a t-shirt but no bra.
Get off the x.
i would try to determine what direction the trouble was and how far away it is. if we had time, minimum i would gather some clothes and shoes, and possibly some kind of weapon. take off opposite direction of the trouble carrying our clothes. and go like heck out of there. after we were a good distance from the chaos, put our clothes on, and take off again. hopefully we aren't too far away from a safe place. or, i have no intention of leaving my country, no desire to go to any other country.
