If you walk into an ambush and they want you dead, you are, unless they screw up. If you can avoid, avoid, people are being warned, stay out... I am retired, unless I have a compelling reason to be there I am staying out.

For decades now pot growers in the national forests have used booby traps, they are very dangerous people. Drug smugglers are dangerous if they see you as a threat to their operation. Disengage, show disinterest and if forced to fight, make sure you bring enough gun. I dislike hiking where I have to carry a combat load, had to do that too many times for real.

Military training can certainly help, but military tactics work best when you have a trained team.

Engage or evade?

If there's cover, take advantage of it. Remain out of sight. Engaging wouldn't be my first option, especially if facing multiple armed opponents.
