Youre basically on your own, but you already know that.
More importantly, whats your level of physical fitness and mobility?

I'm not a young man but I've always been physically fit, done a lot of bike riding and surfing (good for upper body and balance) in the last 20 years. Just within the last couple of years I realized I should also be able to run if needed. You just never know. Might save one's own life. So I added running to my almost daily exercise breaks during the Covid years Not great distances, since I'm north of 60 YO now. But I can at least bust out into a sprint if needed and maintain intervals of a few hundred years to half a mile before having to slow it down to a fast walk for a half minute or so.
On zeroed weapons, I don't get out to shoot mine as often as I'd like, but whenever I do acquire or add on a new optic to a rifle, I always at least bore-sight or laser-sight it in the backyard ASAP. I only have about 40-50 feet to work with but that's enough to get the windage close to centered, and get the elevation acceptably close for HD... and to hit paper at 50 yds---for when I get it out to the desert for a proper sight in. I've done with the backup irons on all my uppers as well. Same with lever guns.
And BTW, I do live within 30 minutes (freeway) of our southern border, which is becoming pretty bad nowadays.
