I would say, from your opening line.. It makes no sense for you Your initial mental preparation and position is all wrong for the task.. Your already starting off with the mind set of "wandering" If you take a second to read my replies above, you'll clearly see that is not what I'm advocating

Anyone thinking of "wandering" outside should take the advice already presented clearly above.. Stay in side, move to a strong point, call and wait for the police.

None of that above is right or wrong , just an opinion and A solution.

One option is to send the dogs to wander outside in the dark while you provide overwatch with a rifle.
