You’re probably familiar with reality shows pitting men versus nature and willing them to survive using their wits and skills. I’ve also seen shows where so-called experts show you how to survive in case you get stranded in an island, a forest or a desert. You do learn some interesting things. For example like do you know that leaves with insect bites are edible?

However, being stranded, penniless in an unfamiliar urban jungle is totally different scenario. If say I end up in New York with no money and no way to call for help, will going to the police help? I don’t know. Where will I sleep? How can I stay safe?

The most important thing for me in that situation will be to find shelter and get fed. I will look for the British Embassy. They can give me food and bed for the night. From there it will be easier to contact family or friends to notify them of my situation. If an embassy doesn’t exist and I find no shelter, I will hawk whatever valuables I have in exchange for telephone call/s and food.

USA Network’s Burn Notice is a new show, starring Michael Weston, promises to give a new twist on being an urban survivor. It starts on the 28^th of June. For a sneak peak, why not visit the show’s website to learn how this CIA Operative survives his job
