1. Other than for legal authorities, who do you stop for?
No one, I would likely divert around others.

2. What is your response to those who want what you have?
That will have to do with the range to contact. Starting with 7.62 NATO, moving thru 12GA, and on to .45ACP. In the end through, it will likely be an end. I will not be in the mood to share.

3. What protocol do you follow with those who want to join you?
Everyone needs a trail canary....

4. Where do you draw the line between looting and foraging for a resource you decide you need?

If I need it to survive, and someone else isn't using it, I will make use of it. If I can later replace the value to the owner, I will.
