That's another good point. Skill up! In survival we learn how to start fire by different methods, how to make shelter from various natural materials and different ways of making water safe to drink. The same principals can apply to many facets of every day life. I know someone who's been out of work for a long time now and has gone back to living at home with her parents. Its very unfortunate but when you graduate college and the job skills you gained consist of speaking Russian, German and Italian you severely limit your employment opportunities. You at least need to have some backup skills.

Its never too late to gain them either.
