Keep wireless network locked down, anyone using it to look at wrongthink or smut could be traced back to you.
Always have an offline machine as that is the only unhackable box.
Remove any programs that come bundled on flash drives.
Use good old FTP for transferring files safely with trusted locals only but know that port 21 is a hackers favorite.
File Transfer Protocol has been replaced by TCP/IP on the modern www.
Every ISP is down with the emerging biomedical security state so watch what you are viewing and saying.
Google is enemy CCP Long March Great Replacement and cellphones are tracking/spying devices that were never made for your convenience.

I bet an east coast class, maybe with the whole Groundrod series back to back to make the trip worth it, would fill up pretty fast if one was offered. I’ve heard tons of people asking for this kind of info in the last year that never would have in the past.
