Seriously? You'll be killed if you don't use a guidebook? Most of the world is quite safe. For the few places that arn't, I dont think Lonely Planet is going to going to be much help unless your keep it in your breast pocket.
Don't take bad risks. Use your wits and common sense. Stay aware of your surroundings. Fear is the mind killer.
