Long Way Down

Just for camping, do you need survival skills? What's the harm? For ultralight travelers like me, abilities take the place of gear and hence weight. If you spend any time in the outdoors, it's also reassuring to know that you'll be able to deal with whatever arises.

Staying warm and dry, hydrated, unharmed, and finding your way out of the woods are all part of survival. Of course, eating is good, but it isn't necessary if the condition is just temporary.
