Oh, the badasses I hang out with aren't /bikers/.

I'm thinking like a woman-socialized person who has traveled and is friends with travelers (for both recreation and survival).

So I'm thinking in terms of local knowledge of resources and threats, tapping into social networks and alliances, possible sharing of intelligence/resources, and the fact that being nice/kind/polite will often open doors (especially when everyone else is a horse's ass) combined with /the full awareness that you are not a hero just for being kind/.
