Add to that knowing what to do, and having the ability and motivation, to right the wrong, as survival skills that make knowing what is seriously wrong a survival skill.

Brilliant imagery: I see an off their face arsonist trying to make a radio out of actual crystals. 🙂

The problem is that we do a lot of things without understanding the underlying principles.

* How many of us can still programm (actually writing code not clicking blocks together)?
* How many of us could built an electrical generator?
* How many of us can built a lock? Or repair one if they could open it?

* How many of us know how banking actually works?

But how many can judge the merits of a operating system (probably a lot mor think than can...)

In the amazing light of the bonfire, a mushroom could easily suffice as a microphone.

Knowing 'when to shut up' can also be a 'survival skill'.

Survival implies not luxury!

Or: one can be quite astonished on how few real needs a human has.
