Best Skills to Master for Off-Grid Survival?

[PrepperLinda65]

When it comes to off-grid survival, what do you all think are the absolute must-have skills? I've been focusing a lot on water purification, basic wound care, and growing food, but I keep wondering if there’s something crucial I’m missing. Fire starting without matches and basic tool repair are up there for me, too. Would love to hear what others prioritize or any resources you’ve found especially helpful for learning new skills.

Don’t overlook basic sanitation and waste management—easy to forget but vital off-grid. Ever tried DIY composting toilets? Makes a huge difference if you’re out there long-term.

Learning to identify wild edibles and basic herbal remedies has been just as important for me as any tool skills. Have you tried any wild plant foraging yet?
