78 SKILLS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW

July 14th, 2013 by Jeremy Knauff
Starting a Fire Survival is based largely on two things: a positive mental attitude and knowledge. With those two covered, you can make up for any lack of tools. Knowledge doesn’t break, wear out, and short of forgetting a thing or two, you generally can’t lose it.
Below, I’ve compiled a list of skills I think everyone should know.
