Boondocking safety-Are you armed?

We boondock so far in on back roads it is highly unlikely anyone will stumble upon us, whether looking for victims or not. Typically, we do not see or hear another vehicle or person for days at a time.

Yes, we are armed anyway. It is like always wearing a seatbelt or having a first aid kit handy. I do not plan to have an accident, and take every effort to avoid one, but I cannot foresee the future and am prepared just in case the unlikely happens.
