What's the ONE survival skill you wish you'd learned sooner?
I'll go first: Fire by friction.
When I was going through Green Beret training, I thought I had fire figured out. Lighters, matches, ferro rods—easy. But the first time I had to make fire with nothing but wood and determination? Humbling doesn't even cover it.
It took me hours. My hands were blistered. My ego was bruised. But when that coal finally formed and I got flame... man, that changed everything. Not just because I could make fire—but because I proved to myself that I could do hard things when it mattered most.
That's what real survival skills do. They don't just prepare you for the wilderness. They build the kind of confidence that carries into every part of your life.
So here's my question for you:
What's ONE skill you've been putting off learning? Fire? Shelter building? Knife sharpening? Navigation?
Drop it in the comments below. And if you've already learned it—tell us what finally pushed you to take action.
Let's learn from each other. That's what this community is all about. 🔥
P.S. — If fire by friction is on your list, I just dropped a free guide that breaks down the exact method I teach. Comment "FIRE" and I'll send it your way.
