I made it to Star before 3 sports a year and girls took over. Troop 224

Seriously wish I would have finished it out as well. My pops and grandfather are both Eagle Scouts.

I cant even begin to tell you everything I learned... invaluable.

Seriously though a Tin Can survival kit is a wonderful thing:

I'm not trying to be Bear Gryllis or anything. I just want to learn basics. In fact, I want it biased more towards urban disaster and/or "car broke down in the middle of nowhere" kind of thing.

Any experiences?
Since I grew up in a tropical country, I don't have much knowledge on survival, when it comes to colder climates. So, I took a class with these guys, and was quite impressed with it. Worth a try!
