fight or negotiation

[Highlander]

This is a very tactical question,... I would hope that the aggressor is seen as he approaches, if that is the case then you have a chance to become invisible, he may, or may not continue to move past,..any movement will draw him to you, you watch him close from a distance

If your stores are well hidden he will not likely find much and he is likely to leave, especially if he is hungry,.... this is how it happens in a perfect world, and the way I would hope to play it out if possible

If I was taken by surprise then survival is still the main aim, if I had the chance I would back down, there was a time when I would have tackled anyone,.. I am sensible enough to know that its no longer the case,... but I would back down knowing that my stores are still hidden, most yobs would not stick around long

If we were attacked, then we would be very ready, and we wouldn't hesitate to drive a knife into him, and fight as dirty as we could
