Hunker or Hunt?: A Home Defense Workshop

Course Date: January 31, 2026

When there’s a situation that occurs in the home (or elsewhere), the question becomes does one hunker down… stay in place, or does one move from here to there? In most cases, it is safer to stay in place. However, there are times when moving is what’s called for. Once you leave that space, for all intents and purposes you are hunting.
