How are your Survival Skills?

[Northumbriman]

I have a good few skills and knowledge. I can find food and water in the wild, build shelters and light fires. I can fashion tools and equipment like bow drills, spears for hunting/fishing, bow and arrows and camp kit like cook tripods etc. I can lash and tie knots with both rope and natural fibres. I know a bit about natural remedies and useful plants. I know how to gut and clean fish and game and various cooking techniques. The main thing though is that I beleive I can survive and I have four excellent reasons to make it if the worst happened. When you read all the survival stories or watch the Ray Mears series you soon see that people who have survived extreme hardship may not have had any skillsor knowledge just the mental strength to keep going and trying.
