Well, there is a whole lot of really controversial stuff that I won't talk about...
Make a flow chart.
Just a poster board and a black, red and blue Sharpie and a ruler.
Shelter In Place or Bug Out
Physical/Violent Conflict - Confrontation - Violence - Avoidance - Escape - Evasion
Situation - Flash or Brewing...just like physical altercations, just apply it to slow burn situations like you see unfolding on CNN in the so-called Arab Street. Part of the world is burning, you should be watching and taking notes. Look in the background for the background instead of what the spokeshead wants you to see, you will see a lot.
There is the classroom and there is the field. This is one thing that you will be limited by. You can learn all about firestarting methods and then go out and practice them. But you cannot quite learn how to really escape and evade lone criminals or gangs of them or whatever it is you feel the need to escape and evade from, whatever.
Study the Urban Exploration Websites and get a very good feel for the layout of stormdrains and various types of factories, etc. For use in temporary shelter, and they should always be temporary lay-ups positions and nothing more. Or, moving through them to avoid mobs, both various types of buildings and structures like stormdrains but NOT sewers. Sewers can kill you and you won't have any warning, you will just be dead.
The Ninjer shit. Always controversial. Post this in other places on these forums, they'd just think you were stupid or some type of asshole.
Search for some of Mistwalker's pictorials where he is observing both the criminal element and the homeless. Learn to ID them, how will you deal with that? Avoidance and Evasion if at all possible. You turn the corner and there they are, you will have to deal with that as well. You won't talk your way out of that one, you will just die with your mouth open. Do you have a CHL/CCW?
The list is endless.
Cover, camouflage and concealment and think of them outside of the commonly understood definitions of the words. Movement. Google for the Japanese WW2 Manual, "Night Movements." Learn it.
Overall, if you're really serious, go buy a big, fat Meade notebook this weekend and a pack of pens that you enjoy writing with so it is not so much of a task. Begin to take these ideas and apply them. Watch, learn and listen.
Guys who are successful in the woods watch, learn and listen and that's how they kill animals to eat. That's how they find Ginseng and make money. That's how they catch the fish. That's how they get the skins to make money in trapping. Used to be that way, not so much anymore.
The same applies to the suburbs and cities.
