This is a great venue for men into philosophy, psychology and other self-developmental studies. I am so thrilled that this group has been started.

Hi everyone. I am a new member to this group. I am looking forward to being a member and hearing what everyone has to say on manhood. Cheers. Rob.

I read that same article a while back. I think they do have similar courses in britain however. Check with outfits like Control Risks about their training on the island.

'A quote from the site about the Scout Urban Escape and Evasion course they run:

'While on an international business trip, you are kidnapped and held for ransom. A terrorist attack closes the business district and you find yourself in a fix. How do you stay alive? How do you get to safety on your own? This class provides leading-edge skills to civilians who live and work in challenging urban environments or in urban centers that may destabilize during a crisis. Topics covered include covert movement (day vs. night), the judicious use of caches, understanding urban baseline movement and urban awareness training, the use of urban disguises and false papers/identification, lock picking, escaping from unlawful custody, obtaining and driving local transportation, the use of "specialized" urban gear, and instruction on how to develop urban escape and evasion go-bags, etc. A one day urban escape scenario is held the final day of class.'

I must do this! Despite the fact that I don't particularly envisage any such situations occuring!

What does everyone think of this?

Love the picture for this group, though I must point out that its rather gender neutral!
