Survival Skills - Primitive Skills for Survival

You might have heard this before but it bears repeating the most valuable tool is the one on your shoulders and this can be exactly why learning primitive skills is so necessary. What would you are doing if you had nothing? What would you are doing if you had to leave everything you own and begin from scratch?

The good news is that we've created some advancements in the last million years, and we don’t need to live like a cave man. We have alternative materials available to us apart from rock and bone.

If you're in an urban area during or after a SHTF event the odds are that everything will be in ruins. Buildings and roadways may be folded, homes may be abandoned and there may literally be junk all over.

When I think about a situation like this, I don’t see junk, I see opportunity. With a little bit of critical thinking and ingenuity we can use these materials to make shelter, weapons and tools.
