I'll bet there are folks on here who could speak to the following:

First Aid - Minor and emergency
Knives - Which one should I buy? (Joke)
Plants - Identification, preparation, how to tell which ones'll kill ya
Survival by location - Desert, mountain, sea, urban etc.
Tracking - For fun and profit
Weather - Reading the signs and preparing accordingly.

These are all things about which I know a little, but would love to know more. (As well as "The Designated Hitter rule - pros and cons", but that's only sort of related to survival).

Remy - Outstanding my man. See "you can only post so many ways to start a fire" goomers. There's tons of wilderness stuff we haven't touched. Nice job Remy.
