Yep the primitive living, Mountain Man/Indian/Appalachian skills are a whole other subset to the survival angle. I was into that kind of stuff as a kid and wish I remember more.

They are really skills people need to learn to have a well rounded ability to survive. Fact is one may have to bug out at some point from home base and had better be ready to make it out in the wilderness.

Roughing it in the wilderness sucks. I can do it, and have, but the skills I was talking about are more along the lines of making soap, raising chickens, cheesemaking, buttermaking, making sausage, preserving pork (I just did that one last week), and stuff like that. Just regular life in the late/mid 1800s.
