I wouldn't say I have a lot of practical survival skills, but I did grow up camping and backpacking, sometimes into very remote areas with only what we could carry on our backs. We would eat minimally (raman, granola, oatmeal, etc.), we learned to build a fire under varying conditions from rain to snow to keep warm. We learned how to find clean water sources. We learned how to stay warm with minimal items to assist. That aside, we never learned to hunt or trap for food, and didn't do any real foraging. And while it's been a while since I last did this stuff, I know much of it is still in the old memory banks, though a bit rusty in practice.
