I have great difficulty with deciding what to do in a general sense, I can only see how it would affect me personally and I don't want to go down that route again, for obvious reasons.
Then answer and give generalised perspectives.
Like say how you'd cope if you were by the seaside, by a city, if they were suddenly upon each other, if you had time to observe them, if you had time to get your gear and run off, if you didn't have time to get your gear, if you were armed, if you were unarmed, if you were alone, if you were with the wife, or what.
The idea is to play around with the various scenarios and work around ideas like that.
