Do you sleep with a weapon

depends on if im in a temporary, 1 nite setup or longterm place.

overnite all i have is hand weapons.

but if i settle someplace for several months, i dont want wildlife, random people, cops, dogwalkers, or anyone/anything else bothering me.

So: first of all: get a game camera cheap at walmart.

the kind you can monitor remotely via your phone. it should have thermal/infrared capabilities: and you should be able to talk through it, like a Ring doorbell cam.

secondly, set tripwires, snares and boobytraps. An easy trap is just take shits around your perimeter. maybe 50-100 feet away from your actual spot.

i only ever bought a gun because i wanted to build a camp in montana. where theres brown bears, etc.

the best defense in todays america — in most areas — is in fact your frontal lobe.

i will say ive been lucky on a few occassions. but in most situations, unless you are extensively trained in some form of combat, youre better off unarmed.
