Knowing what you need to do to help yourself and others when something bad happens is the first step towards being prepared.

Camping and Backpacking

You need to know the most important items you should always have in your survival kit.

Forage

You need to know what plants are good for your health and which are poisonous. This is a way to master survival skills. You can first search online or at your local library for information.
