GREAT answer dweste!! There's another thread right now talking about the importance of flexibility in survival and I think that's key, along with being prepared. There are a gazillion scenarios we could think through, but if you try to figure out a black and white plan for everything before hand, you're limiting yourself. Absolutely think about possible scenarios and responses but you won't know until you're actually in a situation, and even then it'll be fluid. Every decision you make will impact the next one.
