Tactics are about HOW you execute the strategy.

And if you get the strategy right, you more than likely will never need to execute the tactics.

Carrying while backpacking is a topic in and of itself. When I would go XC skiing my Glock in its shoulder holster with 2 spare mags would live in the top section of my ruck. I didn’t need to have it so much immediately available as generally around. If some real weirdo’s showed up at the hut or whatever I would throw on the holster and a light jacket.

If I wanted to go for a day ski (leaving the ruck at the hut) I would detach the top portion of my ruck which had the gun in it and turns into a fanny pack and take it with me. Nobody except my immediate group (best friend, Dad, Sister) would have guessed I had a gun.

Good post. Most folks do not have a understanding of these two concepts, unless they have served in the military or police,or received some sort of formal training.

Therefor,you are dong a great service to both women,and men alike for bringing them to their attention.

Keep up the good work.

Excellent post. Very good and practical discussion of the difference between strategy and tactics, both of which are so very important.

Thank You once again for a well-written post. This information is intelligent, and very practical. Far too often, self-defense classes get way in over their heads with a fear-factor or machismo mentality, and the four basics of readiness that you mentioned are rarely addressed, let alone the differences between Strategy and Tactics. There is an important difference, knowing that could be what makes you the difference between a victim or victorious.
