Each and every piece of survival knowledge is useful in the wilderness, but many do not learn some of the most crucial pieces of information, focusing on those "what if" scenarios. No one plans to be in a survival situation, but unfortunately, the natural world can be a bit unpredictable and in some cases, very unforgiving.

If you ever find yourself lost without food, you'll need to consume some form of energy, so that you can focus on an effective rescue plan and/or survival strategy. You may be lucky and have some fishing hooks on you, but you'll also need to look for plants that are widely available.

What you may have once thought of as a pretty detail in the landscape could essentially save your life.
