That's a pretty good list.
Things I can already do from the list:
Navigation using map and compass to 8 figure grid references
first aid
camp cooking
obtaining water (solar stills, boil catchment, streams/freeflowing water, leaf extraction, fluid recycling, etc)
Those are ones I'm good with.
Shelter building, depending on what's around, I should be okay with. I can build a log cabin, a frame, tin roof, bamboo roof and gutters, connifer Aframe, and even as far as an Earthship (if using urban reclaimed materials).
