Anyone can go camping once in a while and say they “love the outdoors,” but to truly claim yourself as an outdoorsman, you need to possess a very particular set of skills. While these skills are incredibly rare in our society today, just a few generations ago you would have been hard-pressed to find a single person who didn't possess them.
These are the skills of outdoor survival. Before the invention of such modern conveniences as electricity and a ton of camping equipment nobody needs, people relied on their own abilities and being able to make sticky situations work to their advantage. They had to or they would die, along with whatever families they were supporting.
What sorts of skills did these true outdoorsmen possess? The same skills that will make you an indispensable asset when SHTF. Check out the top 20 list on the next page.

Captain obvious must run this page.
All of these skills are based off of one. Improvising.
Not impressed with this article. I agree with Brad Krells comment, Captain Obvious must run this page.
The Article gives extremely basic pointers, and reads more like a list of things to learn more than valuable information to memorize.
I love most of your posts, though. Keep the quality ones comin’.
