Lifehacker: Urban Survival Skills

Here is an article from Life Hacker on urban survival skills. The article divides preppers into three categories:

• The Stockpiler: someone with a wide assortment of supplies but very little knowledge of how to actually do anything.
• The MacGyver: someone who can jury rig anything with duct tape, a pencil, and a pack of chewing gum.
• The Survivalist: someone who can find dinner in an old stump and keep warm using a roll of toilet paper and a rusty coffee can.

There are pointers and a few videos on different skills. Considering my comments in my recent review of the book Without Rule of Law, the video on picking locks may be of interest.
