If you dont choose to include certain skills in your preps, doesnt mean it isn't a bigger part of someone elses. We all prepare in different ways that work for us which means to some these skills are an important part of prepping.
Spot on mate.
For people with limited finances, learning wilderness survival skills does add a hell of a lot. If a person is unable to buy a bow, well they could always make a bow...Wilderness survival skills style! The same with arrows. The cost to start learning the skills is minimal. So as a safety buffer against lack of financial power, bushcraft is a good step in the right direction.
But a journey of 100 miles does not end with the first step. There are many more to take, but this one step is a start.
