camping skills
Wilderness living abilities
Camping skills are the practical abilities needed to live comfortably outdoors—setting up shelter, building fires, purifying water, navigating terrain, and preparing food without modern conveniences.
The term often appears in scouting contexts or outdoor education: The wilderness course teaches basic camping skills.
Someone with strong camping skills can thrive in remote settings where others would struggle.
