List of skills on homesteading, prepping and survival

Survival skills to try:

Get a survival book (and read it). The best survival book
we know illustrates shelter and water, flood and fire, tools
and medicine, navigation and signaling, survival
psychology and getting out alive. Pictured at the top left-
hand of the page is Hawkes Special Forces Survival
Handbook, by Mykel Hawke, Captain U.S.Army Special
Forces and star of man, Woman Wild on the Discovery
Channel. It's an excellent book to stash in your car.
Build a simple ground-based shelter.
Master building a tree-shelter with platform sticks between
the lower boughs of trees.
Purify water. Know the ways to make water safe to
consume. Right is a prepper luxury: it's a distiller.
Cook over an open fire.
Make solar still to collect safe drinking water.
Know different methods for starting a fire. Know how to
make a fire plow and a hand drill to make a fire from
nothing. Remember you mus also know how and where to
collect tinder (fluffy stuff), kindling (twigs) and fuel (logs
or larger pieces of wood) to start your fire.
Learn to navigate with and without a compass.
Make a trap.
Hunting and butchering. Learn to hunt wild game and
know how to butcher the wild animals in your area. In
times of desperation, everyone with a gun will be
competing for the same available game, whether ducks,
deer, or wild turkey. Know how to butcher domesticated
animals too
Fish without a fishing pole. The lure of fishing is
appealing to preppers and its dandy if you have a fishing
pole, but you may be stranded without one while bugging
out. Learn to improvise! . Learn the art of salting or
smoking fish as well. Know how to make a fishing net from
paracord. Hone your fishing skills in nearby rivers, lakes or
oceans
Know how to use an axe. Felling (chopping down a tree
for survival), is not without caution. First one must assess
whether there is a need for felling as it is a dangerous
activity. If one is necessary for shelter building, then one
must be well skilled and must make others in the party
keenly aware of the activity so as to minimize risk of injury
or death.

Download this free guide: the scout and his axe, for your
personal survival manual. This 16-page guide on the types
of axes, choosing an axe, caring for an axe, sharpening an
axe, safety, includes proper instructions for felling a tree
and has more on saws, hammers and wedges.

Nature's medicines. Know where to find medicine in the wild.
Be able to identify poisonous insects, venomous snakes and
dangerous game in your geographical region (and how to avert
the danger).
