Yeah, its basic. But the best survival tips aren't the cool stuff, its the basic stuff. Even here we talk about what the most important things you can do are: tell someone where you're going, dress for the weather, don't get lost, if you get lost don't keep blundering around. Those tips will help you come back safe far more then all the sexy equipment in the world. Even the much vaunted PLB does you no good if you freeze to death before help arrives because you decided to hike Mt. Hood in shorts and t-shirt.
Its good to see survival techniques in mainstream media.
