Heard about this guy years ago, alas being a tightazz I never got around to buying his books. Started reading this last night (not finished) it's an interesting read and echoes many of my own thoughts on the concept of Urban Survival, a subject often looked upon with scorn by the unprepared and ill informed.

If at first you don't succeed, excessive force is usually the answer.
Re: Ragnar's Urban Survival
This is abook I read some 10 or more years ago. I still have it and I think it is relevant to a degree. Although it is American there are some valid chapters. Food and water for instance, he keeps it simple. And simple is good.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Re: Ragnar's Urban Survival
Really handy resource, thanks for sharing! I don't live in a city but a small town, still, there are loads of useful survival principles. His other titles sound interesting too...

I downloaded a Torrent containing some of Ragnar's other books. I very quickly deleted it as it contained titles on How to make C4 Explosives, Home-Made Claymore etc Some very disturbing stuff LOL
