Hmmm... fascinating thought! Very very true as well. Many people have never cooked for themselves. I remember one of my friends trying to figure out how to use a can opener, and this was back in college.
Imagine someone like that out in the woods!?!
There are so many skills that translate into survival skills. Just basic knife safety could mean the difference in a stressful situation.
