You may have already heard the terms Urban Survival tactics or Wilderness Survival tactics.
As you can imagine, the two are very different in location and issues that will arise – but the both still require the same basic survival tactics.

- Water
- Shelter
- Food
- Fire or heat source (to keep warm, boil water, signal for help, etc)
- A way to signal for help
- First Aid
If you are in an Urban survival situation because of an unexpected disaster, chances are you have access to the majority of your needs, even during an emergency.
Wilderness survival situations happen every year unexpectedly to people who definitely didn’t expect to find themselves lost or stranded in such a scary situation.
