We keep a post active whenever there’s any sign of trouble – a scout report, a disturbance, or a change in enemy activity. If the area stays quiet and the patrols confirm nothing’s happening, we rotate the watch out. It’s all about staying ready and covering every angle.

You’re right that silence usually means no immediate threat, so I pull the watch back to a low profile. But I still keep the lines open and eyes on the perimeter, because a quiet forest can hide a patient hunter. A rustle might be a deer, but I treat it as a cue to be ready to shift gears if needed. Safety first.

Always do. I’ll listen for the slightest shift and act before the danger shows itself.
