"Not survival tips for the wilderness, but survival in urban surroundings - basically any tips on how to handle a street fight - any of the vigilante rubbish you see on TV.
I have a close friend who was a UK Royal Marine - he was, in effect, a violence professional for a decade or so. He told me that the vast majority of his training regards hand to hand combat involved the following:
- Assume your opponent is armed even if you can’t see a weapon
- Run away as fast as you can
- If they are close enough to touch you, push them as hard as you can - hopefully they’ll fall over - then run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.
That was it - just get away from them as fast as you can. Don’t try and engage in a fight with someone you don’t know because you’ll probably get k****d."
I hope the assholes who downvoted you get mugged, sodomized and shot by some Monkey-Poxed Haitian someday. They probably look like my avatar.
Yes but warms up to usable temps in your hand or mouth. (Alaskans are actually trained to always have a lighter and a knife).
My Jr High did survival training on a mini island in Alaska, I got "Best solo survivalist".
1. Air
2. Water
3. Shelter
4. Warmth/fire
5. Food
6. (I forget) maybe communication or tools?
7. Entertainment (very important to survival alone or with others)
Hard to tell if some of these are meant as Do's or Don'ts, but I can say, don't do deadly dangerous things for low value items. I've known a trained Coast Gaurd who drowned while trying to retrieve a fishing hook stuck on a bouy, while stupidly fishing off a beach in waders during a rainstorm.
