I chose OPTION 1
I have: a pistol (no ammo); one backup food supply (beef jerky)
At first I thought the pallets may be a good option, but no, that's where scavengers will look for stuff eventually. I'm not a monkey so I can't comfortably sleep in a tree, but I badly need sleep... under the bushes may be a good hiding spot with easy escape options... there also might be some edibles to forage?!
