Survival Skillls vs. Subsistence Skills

• Organic Prepper - by Fabian Ommar

It's always beneficial to define definitions, and even within the world of prepping this needs to be done. What are the differences between survival and subsistence skills? Do the differences even matter? Let's delve into this, starting with the basics…

"Basic" survival skills are needed to provide the essentials (food, water, shelter, navigation, hygiene, communication, mobility, health maintenance, self-defense, etc.) for off-grid/grid-down and extreme SHTF survival events. If we're talking about an EMP, a cyber pandemic, or attempting to get back to society after a failed Alaskan hunting trip, these are the skills we're going to pull from.

During crises that result from economic downturns or crashes, such as recessions or depressions, a different skill set is necessary to generate income, to maintain or even improve ours and our family's standard of living. I call this region subsistence skills.
