NEW FOR 2022! The 4th edition has been greatly improved and refreshed with more on-point content and loads of new techniques and strategies.

The world is changing. Are you paying attention? Are you prepared?

There’s now a growing number of deprived, marginalized and desperate people everywhere. Someone, somewhere, is paying attention and will try to take advantage of everything and everyone.

Volatility and instability: these are important concepts to understand and keep in mind during crises.


It’s not just the constant up and down of prices and market indexes, but the shifting of rules, regulations, safety, and everything else that makes life very unpredictable and hard to plan for.

It means you no longer can go out wearing fancy clothes, jewelry and watches like life’s a party and there’s no tomorrow. It means you can’t just pick a nice spot outside your preferred restaurant and be cool about it. Or park your car anywhere and forget it while you go up to a friend’s apartment to enjoy a game and a few drinks.

“People assume civilizacional collapse looks like Mad Max, when it really looks like rolling blackouts, decimated infrastructure, and the inability to buy baby formula in what was once the 1st world” (Auron MacIntyre)

The reality of real-world crises is Thirdworldization, not Hollywood fantasies of apocalypse, nor prepping myths and misconceptions of unmitigated anarchy. A crash in the standard of living and quality of life: recession, decadence, volatility, instability, crime and violence, disruptions. That’s life in Developing and Third World countries, the everyday of common people in unprivileged places.

Fabian Ommar presents a program for city dwellers looking to improve their situational awareness, street smartness, personal safety, fitness and other urban skills for normal times and turbulent periods. No special gear required. Practice on your own environment and home. Read to learn something, go out and practice to learn a lot more.

• Become more physically, mentally and spiritually prepared.
• Develop the correct mindset.
• Learn to read, scout and map your neighborhood and town.
• Learn how to scavenge, find water, food, shelter, and how to stay safe while outside in fluid and heterogen environment of city streets.
• Mix wilderness and urban strategies and use low-budget, creative ideas and exercises to keep mobility, find and acquire resources, and develop fitness for the challenging times ahead.

A reality-based, no-nonsense preparedness and survival training program based on observation, direct experience and research of the practices and lifestyle of the true urban survivors: the street people and the homeless.

“These are times of civilizacional changes. And change at this scale always bring disruptions and turmoil to societies. Thirdworldization is coming everywhere. We must prepare for a more unsafe, volatile world”.
