The sense that I am getting is that the Urban situation requires more planning and less gear.  Not just different gear.<br><br>Info on threats and hazards can be acquired from the Red-Cross or Fire Department fairly readily for most urban areas.<br><br>Maps are available at most drugstores and online.<br><br>Subway maps are available from city officials.<br><br>For the UPSK  gear seems these are considered useful.<br><br>whistle, light, compass, blades, tape, multitool, garbage bag / poncho, first aid stuff, cordage, OTC Medications,   And who says you can't put a 
cell phone or a 
radio in a PSK.  <br><br>Anyone who has assembled a kit that can post some pictures for us? or a complete inventory at least?  We have had some other interesting discussion on this in this 
previous thread and this
