by Tarry Bailey (Author)

System Failure: Urban SurvivalPillar IX of the Life Manual SeriesThe lights go out. The water stops.The city does not evacuate - it panics.

Most survival books teach you to build a fire in a forest. System Failure: Urban Survival assumes you are in an apartment on the fourth floor with no power, no running water, a crowded street below, and three days of food.

Written by Sergeant Tarry Bailey - US Navy and US Army veteran and overseas contractor - this is a 500-page tactical field manual for surviving in the place most people actually live: the city.

• ���� Threat Assessment - Civil unrest, grid failure, cyber attack, economic collapse, and how to read them early
• ���� Kit That Works - Everyday Carry (EDC), Get Home Bag, and Bug Out Bag built for pavement, not trails
• ���� Water and Food - Purification, rainwater collection, stockpiling without a basement, indoor growing, and urban foraging

• ����️ Staying Invisible - Situational awareness, the color code, urban camouflage, and escape/evasion through crowds and mobs

• ���� Medical and Mental Resilience - Trauma care when hospitals are overwhelmed, managing stress, fear, isolation, and panic
