AT 66 I WOULD RECOMMEND –

1. Many home invasions target the elderly. Project a dangerous image. Mow the lawn with a Glock. Carry every place except the shower. Wear a firearms related hat and jacket shopping.

2. Home alarm system. Harden your house. House dog.

3. Eliminate the word SEARCH out of SEARCH & RESCUE. CB in the vehicle, cell phone in case you have service, PLB if you really need RESCUE.

4. Hike farther then ever. Carry the heavest backpack you can each week. When that gets easier, add some weight. For hunting - carry a heavy rifle in addition to the pack. Have a fool proof plan on how to get the elk or moose out if you get one in a bad area. Cash and the phone number of the youngster with the horses is best. If you are wolf hunting, don't buy a tag, but carry a good camera. They are not good eating anyway.

5. Watch the hoarding show. Practice hoarding. Get organized. Hoard what you use. Every month, buy two months worth of supplies. Hoard small equipment to fix things. Glue, sewing, hardware, hand tools, etc. Hoard, hoard, hoard. If you can’t think what to hoard any more, take at least one $100 bill to the safety deposit box every week.

6. SLIP & FALL causes most back country injuries and death. I use Kahtoola MicroSPIKES everywhere except in the house.

7. And last of all scavenge the body of your enemies and their vehicles.
