Urban Survival Kits

I will be in urban environments for the most part, in Europe and Asia, though I will be moving through mountainous and forresty areas at times. I need to be prepared for everything!

glo sticks for light. bandages and antiseptic oitments.
Sterno for fire and a mess kit for food. I would also get a emergency space blanket and keep it in there as well.
Some scissors, a swiss army knife, finger nail clippers, bug spray and sunscreen/burn ointment.
and snack bars for emergency foods in case you get lost.
And a rain poncho that can be used for a small shelter if needed.

Part 1: Sometimes the city is a bad place to be. But millions find themselves linked to the city, living, working, or recreating. Cessation of ...

i really need help I'm going to the prime outlets and have to get some new clothes but have little clue for what to buy. I'm scene/urban.

theres a lot of different ways to have a 'scene' style. but id say the essentialls clothing wise are bright bracelets, skinny jeans, ballet flats and cute print hoodies.

I wear kinda pretty colours and neutural shades or silver. My style is kinda casual/girlie but not pink or purpley.. (does that make sense?) So i probably wont use the vibrant pinks or purples. Which one would be better, quality wise?

The Delexe one comes with a primer potion which is apparantly the best around while the ammo box comes with an extra colour. Or should i just go for the survival kit?? Please please help!!
OOps wrong catorgory =S

I have the Eyeshadow Ammo box and the Deluxe Shadow box. They both come with great shimmery colors, but since you're not into the pinks or purples, I'd go with the skull shadow box, which has a little more subtle colors that still pop :D

The first thing to keep in mind for a long trip is to pack as light as possible. You can find some tips and a sample packing list here:

You should also see a travel doctor and get all of the proper immunizations for your destinations. He/she will be able to tell you if you need to bring things like malaria medication or cipro. Travel insurance is also good to have, especially for such a long trip and so many destinations. Also, don't forget to bring any prescription medication you'll need. You may not find the same thing in other countries. Make sure your prescriptions are in the original container with the label so you don't get tripped up at the airport.

One item I loved having on my long trip was a silk sleeping bag liner. I stayed in hotels around Asia, but I still used it just about every night. It kept me cool and comfortable, and if the sheets were questionable, I was protected. They can also make a sleeping bag warmer if you're camping. REI sells some at http://www.rei.com/online/store/Search?s toreId=8000&langId=-1&catalogId= 40000008000&brandQuery=Cocoon&sh owPictures=1&vcat=REI_SEARCH.

Good shoes are also essential. If you're going to spend extra money on anything, I think shoes are probably most important, especially if you plan on doing lots of walking on different terrain.

Odds and ends that come in handy are ziploc bags, duct tape, safety pins, rubber bands, and a sewing kit. Sometimes you have to get crafty with mending things.

Have a great time!
