How are your Survival Skills?

[Highlander]

I often go out camping with the very least equipment I can get away with, Its been a while since I used a tent to camp,...I admit that it is usually in the summer, but not always, I have woke up to snow on the basha before now.

I usually cook on an open fire, but I admit that I also carry a Hexi cooker just in case, though I can usualy get one started even in the soggy Highlands

I must admit that I would love to know more about survival in the Highlands, because as I see it, there is so very little around,... what do I know?... well I can start a fire using the cotton grass during the summer, other than that, the only dry tinder will be found in amounst the rocks either taken in during the winter by animals or blown in,.........the red colored moss is full of iodine, so its safe to drink from and will do good as a covering for cuts,..... bracken during the summer makes great thatch for shelters,.. splitting the stems of Bracken fine, makes a fairly good string if used enough of,...its also great for insulating your bed to stop cold creeping up.

...... and thats about it, the Highlands is a very unforgiving place so if anyone knows a few tips, I would be a very gratfull student
