Horses for courses, I'd go bush or to sea, find an island.

The weaponry is all very well but snoozers are losers. Ya gotta stay awake or have compadres you can trust while you sleep. And hungry bellies aren't trustworthy.

Couple of suitcases full of prescription meds should provide enough bargaining power to cater to all one's needs.
