Urban Survival Kit...philosophy

RE: Urban Survival Kit...philosophy
My answers so far have been once out of the city, because that is what I am more used to,... I am remember my Military training for the likes of patroling in a city enviroment at night,..

The scenario calls for haveing no kit at all,... but hopefully your clothes are at least dark,... not black as black will stand out at night almost as good as white,... not many Military wear black in reality for city patroling

I would leave at night, mobs are not as active, even they need to sleep especialy after a day of looting and boozing.

Hopefully you know your city,... but its possible that you dont, so you need a navigational aid in either the moon or the stars,... [ if they can be seen at all ],... the moon, like the sun `apears to rise in the west and travel east,... hopfully you at least know which direction you need to go,... The north star is the only star in the sky that doesnt move, and is easy to find to the right of the plough`s handle [ most people know that one ],...if you can see either of these then they will help

.....Move slowly,... speed draws attention
.....Move through buildings where possible, not around them
.....traveling through parks is good, its often difficult to notice a man standing against tree trunks.
.....Cities are never black,... even if the lights go out, so stay away from very deep shadow, another reason why parks are good because the shadows are lots/small, and jumbled up disguising your shadow
..... rest a lot and take stock, listen to whats going on around you.

If you cant see the sky for lights, then have fixed points in your mind,.. ports, football stadiums etc, you know where the motorway is... keep it to your right/left,...

I dont think there is a lot more you could do, rest up during the day, dont go out again untill dark and continue to travel as have been,... it should get easier,....Oh and if the city center is in the direction you want to go,.. make a big detour,..Smile
A major part of survival is invisibility.
