Prepper skills do not just have to be for survival. These include bushcrafting, orienteering, and knitting. It is impossible to learn all skills in every situation, but these skills can help you prepare and respond to any emergency. These skills can be useful as a starting point. Your intuition can be used to help you prioritize skills. It is also helpful to know how to properly assess your own skills, since some items may be more important than others.
Survivalists
It is vital to have multiple survival skills in case of an emergency. Survivalists can focus on different tasks, learn new gear and improve their survival skills. Survivalists learn to adapt to new circumstances and thrive in tough situations. They are more prepared for different situations that could result in the SHTF. Some common prepper skills are:
Bushcrafters
To learn how to fish, you need a compass. You will need to know the water flow in order to find a suitable spot for fishing. It is important to use tools as fishing can attract unwanted attention from the bush. Additionally, you need to learn how best to clean your prey. Fish should be gutted from head to tail, and cats and dogs should be scaled from head to tail.
Orienteers
Learning to navigate with a map is a prepper skill that is often overlooked. Despite being a lost art, it can be rewarding and fun once you learn the basics. BCCB offers several orienteering programs at Don Williams Recreation Area. Cael Weinland, an Eagle Scout Candidat, designed the courses. Troop 116 also built several. You should exercise caution when using orienteering routes and ensure that you do not leave any trace.
Knitters
Although knitting might not seem to be an essential skill for SHTF scenarios (Sudden Hyper Terrible flood), it can prove useful in survival situations where you are left stranded. Even though knitting does not directly help in prepping efforts during civil war, supply line failures and natural disasters (SHTF), it can still be useful if your prepper situation is a few years away.
Sewers
One of the best places to learn about the prepper life is to investigate sewers. This can help you locate hidden tunnels, and show you how the sewer machine works. You'll also learn how to avoid sewage infections. By studying the creatures and building materials living in sewer systems, you will also be able to learn about the ecology of these systems. The skills listed below will help you become a better Prepper. These are just some of the many ways to prepare your life in case of an emergency.
Trappers
The best skill to have if you are a prepper is to be able to create primitive traps. A trap is more efficient than a gun because it continues to work while you're not around. But traps require skill and time to build. Although traps can be constructed much faster than a gun they still have their disadvantages. First, store-bought and prefabricated traps are inferior to primitive traps. You'll also need to watch instructional videos and read books about trap construction. Make several traps before you are ready to face a real emergency.
Fishermen
Many people believe they will be hunters if there is a SHTF. Although hunting is an essential skill it may not always be possible. Additionally, the population of many animals will be unable to cope. Fisherman are a better choice because they can easily be found in all locations and will not be affected negatively by any climate or geographic issues. Preppers can also learn fishing skills without special knowledge.
