Fill with dry wood and you can keep yourself warm. Navigation is fine but an AA map is better than moss on a tree and you can follow alongside the roads if you don't want to walk on them.

Collecting water is fine as well as identyfying food from the wild.

If I was prioritising that is what I would look at first.

I'm with SD on this one like he says there will be plenty of empty houses, anyone who thinks they can do a Rambo( or even a Ray Mears) in the woods, isnt going to survive the first cold winter,what i think will be more important is wild food identification and knowing what wood burns best, also where and how you can obtain fresh water.
