Required Skills

[CharlesHarris]

My take on this is that everyone should develop proficiency in starting a fire by more than one method, without matches, use an axe to cut firewood and to build a shelter. Use a knife to cut poles, split kindling, make small game and fish traps, clean fish, dress game.
Navigate with map and compass. Be able to establish direction using improvised methods, without a compass, walk a straight course to a landmark, diverting around terrain bsriers and returning to original course. Build a hide to shelter. Use of debris and natural insulation. Primitive fishing and trapping methods. Ground to air signals for rescue and IFF.
