Ray Mears, Urban Survival: The Big Apple I: hotdog vs rotdog

A new weekly series on how to survive the ever-hazardous “urban jungle” by survival expert, Ray Mears I’ve just arrived here in a daunting new urban environment, and have been fortunate to find good shelter straight away.  This little patch of ground just beneath the skyscapers offers perfect protection from the wind. I get to watch the world go by, too. Urban survival in the “large fruit of the Malus Rosaceae tree” or “Big Apple” is all about keeping a low profile so as not to offend the local warrior tribe – the NYPD – famed for their rapid pistol fire and baton-wielding skills.

One of the essentials of inner city survival is food, and I’m just about to go scavenging for half-eaten hotdogs.

Here’s my top tips on how to spot a hotdog from a rotdog: I always give it the ENT test: Eye, Nose & Throat.

1. Eye: can you spot any mould?

2. Nose: Give it a quick sniff.  Any unpleasant pongs or nasty niffs?

3. Throat: Take a nibble and test your gag response.  If you can hold it down longer than a minute, you’ve got a dog that’s “hot to trot” all the way down your gullet.

The carbs in one of these discarded dogs could just prove to be a life-saver and, as we’ll see, it’s a darn sight easier than trying to snare the local fauna, which, in these parts, tends to be of the feathered rodent variety a.k.a pigeons.
