I'm kind of waiting for some decent stuff to show up around NYC because so far everyone who is teaching survival is trying to cash on 911 fears. Basically they show bunch of 911 pictures, some Cold War duck and cover crap, followed by army WMD slides, than few web urls and that's it. And none of those guys know anything or would even know how to survive day on his own. The funniest one was when we had a 3 day lecture on that stuff from some self announced expert that my school paid loads of money for. When he got to the part about stuff you need to have on you I just emptied out my pockets. I asked to see his and he didn't have anything but he said that he has a survival kit in the car. So far the best few lectures I had was with Emergency Services Unit cop from NYPD that knew his stuff and laid it out to us pretty well but he does what he loves and you could have seen that right away by the way he spoke.
