It's difficult to imagiine what kind(s) of scenario would require survival skills. Here, in the PNW, natural disasters are something I have never seen. Mt. St. Helens kicked up a fuss back in the 80's, but still didn't affect that many people. Wild weather is rare here. All out war might be a possibility. A total breakdown of society is possible, but not likely. Wild fire is a real possibility. We live in the forest. But that might require evacuation....not particularly a survival situation. The most likely situation would be an earthquake. We are long past due for one and it is expected to be a 9+ when it happens. The PNW is not prepared for earthquakes. When it happens (and it will), it will rival the recent one in Japan. If we survive it......then survival skills and tools will be called upon. It will likely be in the form of subsistance hunting and perhaps protecting what you have.
