Hunting and Gathering: An Urban Youth Survival Guide

Although he speaks directly to our Native American population, Danny Quintana is concerned about the choices we all must make to ensure emotional and financial survival. He offers a provocative yet thoughtful blueprint for dealing with the modern world’s challenges. Surviving and prospering financially and emotionally in today’s complex and competitive world requires the kind of courage that Indian warriors displayed in the last century. Today’s warriors-Indian and non-Indian both-must make certain choices about our environment.

Scary Zombies & Surviving Breakdowns in Civil Order

Posted in Urban Survival Guide by

Again, having fun with the season, I want to talk with you about one of the scariest aspects of urban survival after a disaster…zombies. (stay with me).

You see, “zombie” is code for the masses of unprepared people who wander about in a daze after natural and man-made disasters. They loot, steal, and do whatever they have tosurvive. They aren’t necessarily infections, undead, or wrapped in burial clothes, but they are dangerous. It’s just that when people get hungry, thirsty, tired and desperate, their ability to think rationally disappears. History shows us that this will manifest itself in the form of violence against people who have food, water, or other needed supplies.And don’t think you’ll be able to call the police or EMS in a disaster situation. You’re on your own. Why? Because law enforcement and first responders are going to be swamped. Most cities have between 1 non-administrative officer per 1000 people and 1 officer per 10,000 people on duty at one time. That works when people WANT to follow the law, and you only have 1 out of 10,000 people breaking the law at a given time, but disaster situations open the door for people who are on the fence about
whether or not to follow the law.

In addition, if you do have a violent encounter during or after a disaster situation, you probably won’t get medical help. Again, first responders are stretched thin
during good times…with about the same ratio, but since fire/ems respond in teams, the same number of people can’t respond to nearly as many incidents as law enforcement can.

In the 12 week SurviveInPlace Urban Survival Course, I go in-depth into operational security strategies that you can put into place today to help keep you from being a target of thieves now and looters in a disaster situation, but I
want to share a few of them with you today. One of the best ways to help law enforcement and first responders in a disaster situation is to do everything possible
to make sure they don’t have to spend their time taking care of you. The simplest way to do this is to make sure that you and your house aren’t as good of a target as your neighbors’ houses.

Pure and simply, hiding your preparations will go a long way towards protecting you from attack.

1. Look at your garage with the eyes of both a thief now and as a looter after a disaster. If your survival/camping/food supplies are visible, move or camouflage them.

2. Be careful about where you talk about your disaster preparations, who you talk to about them, and what you disclose. Always try to disclose LESS of your preparations than what you havshtfe really done.

3. Make sure your supplies are not centralized/visible in your house. There’s no reason for repair men, babysitters, friends, kids’ friends, or anyone else to know how much “stuff” you’ve got. Again, hide your supplies or store them in multiple locations.

4. Follow basic home security guidelines, like getting a dog, motion lights, and at least an alarm sign.

I go DEEP into Operational Security and fortifying your home in the SurviveInPlace Urban Survival Course and I encourage you to sign up for it today. If you have any interest at all in preparing so that you can survive disasters in urban environments, you really need to check it out.

Other people like you who’ve taken the course agree that it is the best book or course on surviving disaster in an urban environment that they’ve
ever read. Here’s what Doug in California had to say:

“In 23 years service in the Air Force, I completed both arctic and jungle survival training, many combat/battlefield skills courses, and I served under daily fire in Vietnam. I think I’m fairly well prepared to survive the environmental hazards.

However, your course has significantly broadened my perspective when it comes to urban survival and surviving both the good and malicious intent of my fellow citizens.
Thank you so much for digging out the information and for shortening the learning process.”
-Doug (Retired Air Force) in California

All I can say is, “WOW!” Thanks Doug.

Urban Operations, 2006, FM 3-06, Field Manual No. 3-06, Military Manual (Kindle Edition)

Urban Operations, 2006, FM 3-06, Field Manual No. 3-06, Military Manual

Doctrine provides a military organization with a common philosophy, a language, a purpose, and unity of effort. Rather than establishing a set of hard and fast rules, the objective of doctrine is to foster initiative andcreative thinking. To this end, FM 3-06 discusses major Army operations in an urban environment. This environment, consisting of complex terrain, a concentrated population, and an infrastructure of systems, is an operational environment in which Army forces will operate. In the future, it may be the predominant operational environment. Each urban operation is unique and will differ because of the multitude ofcombinations presented by the threat, the urban area itself, the major operation of which it may be part (or the focus), and the fluidity of societal and geopolitical considerations. Therefore, there will always exist an innate tension between Army doctrine, the actual context of the urban operation, and future realities. Commanders must strike the (more…)

What to Put in an Emergency Survival Kit

Posted in Urban Survival Kit by

Emergency survival kit includes indispensable supplies that one needs to carry while going for outdoor activities. Be it hunting, camping, trekking, mountain biking or any other outdoor activity, a well-planned survival kit Helps you out at many situations, irrespective of the tough conditions that you may be exposed to.

While preparing the kit you must carefully select items that are very useful and light in weight. It is always better to pick up tools and items that can be used for more than one purpose. Avoid adding duplicate items because they will unnecessarily increase the size and weight of your kit.

Plan your kit such that despite containing all the vital items it is light enough for you to carry. Following are the items that your list must include:
Fire Starting Equipment: Your emergency survival kit must contain fire starters that may help you create fire whenever needed. Pick one that is lightweight, easy to use, compact, and preferably waterproof.

Instead of fire starters, you may carry other fire creating items like lighter, metal match or waterproof matches in your emergency survival kit. You can also include flint in your stuff. It works well when wet and can be used to create more fire than the same amount of matches.

Signaling Items: These are very important when you are out on an unknown expedition. There are several items that you can use as signaling tool. For instance, you can get a signal mirror made of acrylic plastic (or other suitable material) or even 3 piece folding mirror. These mirrors will increase your visual signal range capabilities. You can also opt to have plastic-made signal whistles for making loud signal as and when required. Heavy duty aluminum foil sheets too can be used for signaling purpose.

Food Procurement Items: Food is the essential requirement for living. When out for an expedition, you need to equip yourself properly so that even if the food supply is cut off you have the source to procure it. Hence, make sure the emergency survival kit contains food procurement tools like fish and snare line, fish hooks, surgical blades, folding knife etc. With the help of these items you can definitely procure edible items that will keep you going even when you do not have any food left with you.

Water Purification Tablets Or Drops:
While stuffing the required food items for your trip, remember to include water purification tablets and drops. These are very essential items because whenever you face shortage of clean drinking water, you can always use these water purifying tablets for making the available water drinkable.

First Aid Items: You must carry the first aid items in your emergency survival kit. When you are engaged in some outdoor activity, there are pretty good chances that you might fall ill or even hurt yourself at times. In such cases, it is very important that you have the first aid items (including tablets, bandages, eyewash solution etc) with you so that you can get instant required treatment.

Compass: Make sure to include a compass in your emergency survival list. Go for small and compact variety that is strong and durable. You must keep the compass in working order and learn how to use it. With the use of the compass, you will be able to find the right directions that will help you to move ahead towards your destination and will also safely guide you back to returning point.

Apart from including the above mentioned items in your emergency survival kit, there are several other items that you should not forget like :

1) Shelter items

2) Emergency food items

3) Space blankets

4) LED flashlight/Candle

5) Heavy duty Aluminum Foil (for cooking and signaling)

Next time you plan an outdoor activity or trip make sure you have with you a well-planned emergency survival kit. This will make your trip safer and enjoyable.
