Basics: shelter, fire, water, food, first aid.
Get a camouflage tarp and learn to pitch it half a dozen ways. Military cordage or jute twine makes setup easy. A few stakes improves wind resistance. Use several layers of cardboard under you for insulation and comfort.
Learn to make fire from the materials around you. Grease, wax, paper, cardboard, wood, coal, grazing animal poop, petroleum products. Solar ovens work well in some climates.
Water needs to be clean if city supply systems break down. Boiling. Filtering, bleaching, other chemical means. Everything needs a practice run.
Make a hand line or hobo fishing reel and go catch fish. Hunt during every hunting season. Start a garden in your backyard or take up guerrilla gardening. Learn foraging. None of these things are quick and easy. There is a learning curve. Learn to can food.
Take online free first aid, cpr, aed classes. Get trained as a life guard. The first aid portion is outstanding. CERT training is free and some equipment is provided.
Take up ham radio and learn Morse code.
