    Oh! I’m actually somewhat decent with some useful things. I got sent to a wilderness school for fuck up kids when I was a teen. So I know how to, and have applied a lot of survival stuff.

    I know how to effectively make a somewhat permanent shelter. I can make and use a bow drill to make fire, and along the same principal but with much more effort and time I could make fire with hand drill or fire plough techniques. I know how to make basic traps. I can make cordage, and have very, very very basic tracking skills. I know some edible and toxic plants in my area (not exhaustive by any means). I know how to clean and dress game. There’s a lot of other stuff, but those popped into my head immediately.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve done all this, but the knowledge and know-how is all there. I’d actually be a decent person to have around!

      That’s a pretty excellent school to go to, hell I wish I had that level of training
