A lot has been written over the years about survival in the countryside, but little on how to cope with being stranded in a strange city or what to do if the infrastruccture in your own urban area breaks down. This article covers some basic ideas of what to do, and what to avoid to enable you to be prepared for ths type of situation.

In some parts of the world Urban and 'Wilderness' survival can overlap. When I was in Japan back in the 1989 I was exploring the Ueno region, where the Ninja oringinated, in the depths of winter. On one trip to visit a particular shrine and museum I came to the bus stop only to find the next bus wasn't for several hours (it's a seriously remote region- or was then) and it began to snow heavily along with a significant temperature drop. Standing at the bus stop I realised I wasn't really dressed for that type of weather and was running the risk of hypothermia. There were two vending machines at the bus stop, but they only sold refrigerated items. However, I realised that there were heat exchange coils in the back and, by squeezing between the two machines, I was able to stay warm- and even have a little nap - until the bus arrived.
The bus driver didn't see me between the machines, mainly because he never looked, and I got on the bus when his back was turned. From his expression when he re-boarded the bus I think he took me for a forest spirit as he didn't approach me even to check my ticket! smile
