Urban Survival

I am looking for a book similar to the US Army's Survival Manual. However, the Army's survival guide does not have a section on urban survival. I live in a major city and want to get information on where to get water, food and shelter in the event I run out of supplies in a war, financial collapse, governmental take-over or natural disaster. I like the book "Steal This Book," but the information in it is very outdated from the 1970s. Anyone know of some comparable books? Thanks.

A better idea would be for you to take some classes in first aid and volunteer to participate in disaster relief drills. If you look around you can find many opportunities to prepare yourself to make a difference after a disaster.

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 ...

It may all be put to the test pretty soon! Are you ready? What real life urban survival skills do you really have? The time to lay your smack down has come...! WTF R U gonna do now???

I have actually slept outside on several occasions when I've been on holiday abroad, and I thought it was cool. kind of a survival instinct thing. Is that weird?
I've actually considered doing it for a few months, maybe longer. Is that weird?
Or maybe even indefinately.

No, not weird. Immature.

All you are trying to do is to reassure yourself that you can live your life, and it's not too hard or too scary.

Does Outer Space survival exist or how do astronauts train for space emergencies?

They train as much as they can. You might like to visit the NASA site for better info.

For example.

somewhere in eastern europe/baltic sea region? where? and why doesn't anyone live there?

Well it's not explicitly stated anywhere for sure, but here it confirms it was set in the US http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/manvsw ild/blog/blog.html although wiki says it was in Poland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Man _vs._Wild_episodes

Doesn't really help much, but this seems to be an episode which is more about the "it could happen anywhere" and being specific to the location setting :0)
