What’s Your Go-To Skill for Off-Grid Survival?

When it really comes down to living off-grid, what’s the one skill you rely on most? For me, it’s basic first aid—seems like every scrape, burn, or weird rash comes up when you’re away from help. I’m curious which skill others think is absolutely essential. Is it fire starting, water purification, food preservation, or maybe something else entirely? Always looking to broaden my toolkit, so would love to hear what tops your list and why.
 
Fire starting tops my list—without heat or a way to cook, everything else gets a lot tougher. Anyone got a trick for getting a flame going in wet conditions?
