Though we like to think that the Worst-Case Scenario series has an answer for almost any of life’s emergencies, surely you’ve been in a jam that even your trusty Survival Handbook couldn’t bail you out of. To remedy that, Dave Borgenicht and rest of the Worst-Case Scenario team are now taking requests!
If you have a dire situation in mind that you think deserves, no, REQUIRES the Worst-Case treatment, let us know with a comment below. If we use your suggestion in an upcoming blog post, we’ll gladly send you the title of your choice as a thank you. Good advice, and free stuff. Doesn’t get any better than that kids!
Author Dave Borgenicht and the Worst-Case team are here to help prepare you, and you, and you(!) out there in webland for anything. Need to land a plane? Fending off a shark attack? Graduating and facing “what next?!”? We’re here, for you.
I absolutely LOVED the Parenting handbook but after thinking it over, I definitely think it’s missing a very important section on dealing with explosive baby poop. Someone needs to write a step by step solution for sure – making sure to include diagrams, of course! Just a thought
I think it is necessary to know how to cross borders with multiple or no passports like Jason Bourne, set up foreign bank accounts, and escape/bribe your way out of foreign prisons.
I would suggest “how to survive a flood”. I was in several floods while in Brazil and I know that you go to high ground but I was already on high ground and I needed to cross a flood to get back to my house which was on dry ground. Some times we simply walked through the flood, and one time one of my buddies fell through a grate (made of cement) that cracked under the weight of the guy and the water. Luckily he was tall enough that I could still see his arm protruding from the water from the elbow up. I got him out and he was fine. Another time we needed to get across a submerged bridge so we jumped on the back of a flat bed truck that was going to cross. I know that it was probably not the smartest thing to do but luckily again we got through unharmed. I was in a flood in Washington state back in 2007 and I followed another truck trying to get around the flood back home. I stopped following the other truck when it went completely under water. I decided to go another way and did make it home. Floods can be a Worst-Case Scenario unless you know what to do and what not to do (probably don’t want to do what did).

I would love to see something about pet birds. In particular, what to do if your bird flies into a ceiling fan. Or if they fly into the toilet. Either, or both, would be great.
