SAS Urban Survival Handbook

The author of the bestselling SAS Survival Handbook returns with a new guide focused on the dangers that exist at home and on the street. John “Lofty” Wiseman is the author of the definitive guide to survival in the wild from Britain’s Special Air Service. Now he’s compiled the complete guide to surviving among crowds of people, the mazes of office buildings, the dangers of an unfeeling city—put simply, how to stay safe in the urban jungle. Plenty of dangers lurk far from the wilderness—thousands of preventable fatalities occur in the home due to household chemicals, electricity, cooking knives, rodent poisons, and other hazards. Add to this the risks of violent crime on city streets and the menace of natural disasters, and it becomes clear that being prepared is crucial in any setting. The SAS Urban Survival Handbook advises readers to think practically about urban environments and offers tips and instructions on how to avoid hazards wherever one goes. From self-defense techniques to home security systems to coping with natural disasters, this book teaches you how to recognize danger, make quick decisions, and live confidently in the modern world.
