The "Urban Prepper" created a survival cheat sheet a few years ago that consists of basic information you might want to have at hand in a survival situation. He discusses the cheat sheet on his YouTube channel and provides a link to download it for free.

You can download all of the PDFs associated with his videos here: Download ALL Urban Prepper PDF's in one ZIP file https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghjUfxp2yJM We like Urban Prepper's survival cheat sheet, and have included it in our own preparedness library. It also served as a basis for building our own cheat sheet, to which we added local information such as Amateur Radio and GMRS repeater frequencies, and information and emergency telephone numbers.   You may also like...   Pocket Survival Guide / Cheat Sheet   https://www.limitlessequipment.co.uk/pa...
