I’m sorry, but most of the above are absolutely useless in any populated area in times of crisis.

From Bosnia to Chechnya there are numerous accounts of societies fallen beyond civilization just in a very recent history and I tell you none were saved by knowledge of edible plants, trap-hunting or an ability to read the sky for directions.

First things you need are weapons, ammo and a will to use it.

Thus, points 15, 16, 28-32 are a good idea.

Sarajevo used urban trapping to catch and eat rats for daily meat. Likewise, plants grow in ruins...knowing how to tell a poisonous mushroom can save lives.
