    Haven’t read article yet, but just looking at the pic makes me cringe. You never cut towards yourself. Always cut away from your body!

    Fire, food, and shelter the rest is luxury. Make and keep fire, find hunt and forage food nutritionally necessary for your environment, and keep out if the weather when necessary to be within the capacity of the human condition.

    If he is a survivalist the first thing he will need is medical attention. One does not pull a knife towards oneself. I don’t need his skills or his list.
