Considerations for urban survival

Surviving in the urban jungle is not so different then in the wilderness, you still need food, water and shelter. But instead of gathering berries or roots like in the wilderness, in the city you have to grow your own food. Instead of drinking out of a stream like in the wilderness, you have to have some kind of water supply in the city. And shelter should be a given with the house or apartment your living in.

One of the biggest problems is finding water. Some cities do not want people having their own water wells. So when the city water stops flowing, people have nothing to drink.

Options include living next to creeks, streams or rivers, or digging your own water well.

Fresh meat can be gathered with bird traps or small animal traps. Use something like a have a heart live trap so the animal is not harmed and can be released safely.
