It is just too broad of a subject to be specific. In Germany we were passed (individually) through an underground net from Bremen to Switzerland. Our pictures were plastered all over Germany and local police as well as the Grenzshutz were looking for us. All we did was as told. It seemed like I rode a bicycle 2/3 of the way and slept mostly in churches and train stations. Had to be up by 2200 or risk being picked up for vagrancy. Contrary to some previous assumptions, it is easier to blend into a crowd.

Those living in camps in RVN had Bugout Bags ready to grab. On operations survival gear was what I had in my pockets and LBE. It was essentially: "Drop your ruck and run!". In addition to food and water and weapon and ammo we had URC-10 radios, pen flares, strobe lights and mirrors. Many started wearing or fashioning the USAF survival vests. E&E pickup points were committed to memory.
