I have been in the hoods millions of times on biz.If at some time the proverbial crap does hit the fan and you have to bug out, there are five things you should have in your car if you're planning on passing through urban areas. Aside from the usual weapons, ammunition, food, personal water filtration device, a medical trauma kit, a flashlight, cash money, and handheld communications gear, you might want to consider these items:
1. A siphon pump. Handy for siphoning gas out of all those cars littering the streets. Those car-owners won't mind, they're all dead anyway.

2. A 4-way stem key. Ever try to find a water spigot in the city that actually has a handle on it? Most outside water hydrants on buildings don't have them any more. Go to your local hardware store, get one of these for about $4, and you'll never run out of water. It has four different sized keys on it that are guaranteed to open any outdoor faucet, if water pressure still exists.

3. A pair of compact bolt cutters, like HK Porter, Tekton, Klein, etc.

4. A compact pinch bar or pry bar.

5. A small folding saw. These things can go through sheetrock like a knife through butter.

If anyone else has any ideas about essential SHTF tools for urban areas, please feel free to include them.
Rules for the white man in da hood.
1- Always wear a dark gray suit and sunglasses if applicable, look like you're very serious. Never show doubt or fear...NEVER!!!!! That repels half.
2- Always do business in da hood form 7am to noon. Noon is 5am in Black Time. That repels the 2nd half.
3 Never show fear looking at the messes you constantly encounter.
4- Always coast to red lights. NEVER. I MEAN NEVER stop fully at a light.
5- Never stop at the same time at a stop sign. Coast and let them through.
6- Never wear black face.
I am actually writing a book, " Essential rules and strategies for the white man survivin in da hood".
Great advice!
I would add "Never let yourself get boxed in at an intersection, stop sign, or light. If a vehicle stops in front of you, leave yourself plenty of room to gun it and go around."
You seem very nervous. Are you driving around Sao Paulo or Bogota?
Scoff if you want to, it's no skin off my ass. I plan on being one of the master race of survivors during the apocalypse. I will re-populate the country with my genes and take part in the rebuilding of it.
You scoffers, non-believers, and other idiots who never took the time to prepare yourselves, will all be statistics.
You're posting from inside a 'fort' made of the sofa cushions, aren't you?
No, Mr. idiot apartment-dweller in some big city and potential statistic. I'm posting this from my three bedroom two bath two car garage on 100 acres, 60 miles either way from a large city.
Do tha cities make ya skeeered? Got enough Spam in your bunker?
Given a catastrophic event such as a high altitude Chinese EMP air-burst over the country, Russian hackers taking out your power grid, or a simple Islamic act of terrorism, I'd guess that you folks in the city would have between 3-4 weeks to live.
Sure, you can go weeks without food. But what's going to happen when you no longer have any water? Maybe you'll find a puddle somewhere in a ditch, but how long will it be before you come down with dysentery, or parasites start eating your guts from the inside out?
And then there's the roving gangs of hungry, thirsty people who would spring up all around you. Do you really think they'd give a crap about your life? Not hardly. They'd just take whatever they want from you, and leave you in a ditch with a bullet behind your ear.
