When we look over the landscape of any urban area and consider the chaos that will erupt. It’s easy to understand why urban escape & evasion tactics will be necessary. In fact, anyone at any time is going to be a target in the urban collapse environment. People will have value and they will be snatched up and used for that value.
You need to have the tools and the skills to survive a hostile environment like that of the fallen urban sprawl.
Access
Access is such an important part of the urban survivor’s toolkit. It is such a powerful piece of your ability to evade. If you have the right tools to gain or negate access then you can be a much more effective survivor.
Lock Picks
Having a good set of lock picks, and the well-practiced skills to use them is such an important factor when it comes to urban survival. You are going to be able to get access to things you wouldn’t otherwise and even hide from people if need be.
Locks
Having the ability to secure an area can turn it into a long-term or temporary shelter. These will be very important as well. Knowing how to build and care for an emergency shelter is such an important part of urban survival. You may have multiple shelters across a given area.
Bolt Cutters
Sometimes you just need to cut a lock in a hurry. You should have a reliable pair of bolt cutters on hand at all times for that quick access option. These can make a world of difference and are crucial to getting in and out in a hurry.
This selection of urban survival tools can be expanded upon and can be used in other methods. It is, however, imperative that you have at least these for gaining access.
