I spent a lot of time and effort learning some very fundamental skills that most folks don't even think about.
And then I lived it for over a year in the mountains, off grid, remote from everything.

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.
