In a post-apocalyptic scenario, urban environments can quickly become challenging and dangerous places to survive. However, with the right strategies and preparation, you can increase your chances of thriving in such conditions. This article will explore essential urban survival strategies to help you navigate and adapt to the unique challenges of a post-apocalyptic city.

1. Establish a Secure Base

Your first priority should be to find or establish a secure base in the urban area. Look for a location that is defensible, preferably with limited access points and ample resources nearby. Consider abandoned buildings, basements, or even fortified structures. Reinforce the entry points and fortify your base to protect against intruders.

When ever there is talk of living on sailboats, that talk inevitably turns to pirates.

While it is scary, and there is no denying that piracy exists, the simple fact is that it is blown out of proportion. Why do we hear about it around the globe when pirates strike? Because it is so rare an event that it is newsworthy.

Compare that to school shootings in the USA. How many did you hear about in the news? If you had to guess, how many would you say there have been this year?

The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to falter, as Russian troops run low on everything.

Within the last two weeks Russia began conscripting civilians to join the military, in a desparate attempt to bolster troop numbers. This resulted in an immediate flood of Russian citizens attempting to escape the country, trying to avoid the draft. On the first night, airports were packed as every aircraft leaving Russia was sold out. Borders with neighbouring Finland and other Baltic countries had long queues of vehicle and foot traffic.

This brings to mind the questions of borders, and their benefits and drawbacks... The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Build The Wall!

There are some people in the USA that are very confusing. One minute they will be screaming that you can't trust the government, "Big Brother is out to get you". The next minute those same people are hollering "Build the wall!".

Borders are designed primarily to keep foreigners out. But those same walls can also be used to keep citizens in.
