Okay, I am no expert but I am an avid backpacker and camper and I learn something new everytime I go out. I think practice is a key. Building fires, shelters, getting and filtering water, navigation, and hunting (which I have to say I am not really educated and experienced with.

I have always thought of two types of survival, 1: The wildnerness, rambo style, living off of the earth completely. And, 2: The style in which survival blog seems to encourage which is builing up your home and supplies, etc.

I maintain my pack as well as a few things in the house that I wont allow to be depleted (Batteries, toilet paper, some canned goods, firewood, ammo, tylenol, etc).

I am looking forward to hearing about what other people do...
