Survival skills and disaster preparedness are one in the same in many ways, because when the world is in a state of upheaval knowing how to survive while "in the field" becomes your top priority.
If you want to learn survival skills you should look to those who deal with natural disasters far too often, like the mighty resilient Japanese.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government created a massive (and massively handy) handbook called "Disaster Preparedness Tokyo" to teach Japanese residents crucial survival skills so they're prepared when an earthquake, or other disaster, strikes.
The guide's good for more than just survival skill training- it's chock full of handy tips and tricks you can use in your everyday life. Now you can get out there and survive in style!
