wilderness skills

Wilderness skills are practical abilities that help individuals safely navigate and survive in natural environments. These include understanding how to find and purify water, build shelter, start and maintain fires, identify edible plants, and navigate using a map and compass. They also encompass techniques like first aid, signaling for help, and recognizing weather patterns. Developing these skills enables people to enjoy outdoor activities safely, whether camping, hiking, or exploring remote areas, and ensures they can handle emergencies or unexpected challenges that may arise in the wilderness.
