Practise Survival Skills You've Learned?

I think it can depend on the skill to some extent. Personally, once I have become proficient in a skill, then I never forget it. However, there is very often other factors involved with primitive skills. For instance; you may become proficient in making fire with flint,steel & tinderbox using charred cloth, but charred cloth is not an option in a wilderness situation. You need to learn about plant tinders & how to prepare them. Another example is tomahawk throwing. You may learn how to throw at a set distance from the target, but in a survival situation you need to be able to judge that distance without pacing it out. Throwing a tomahawk with a pack on your back is totally different to throwing without a pack. There are many more skills than these that go beyond the basic learning. There is always more to learn & practice.
