Skills, as you can always find equipment or an equilivent. Equipment without the skills to use it, is just stuff. I think first aid skills should be pretty high on both lists, no point in having that big shiny trauma kit if you cant use it.
Nice one Dave. They do go hand in hand but skills has to take lead. If the equipment isn't availsble then you have to have a good range of skills to keep you in good order.
I would go for good quality lightweight equipment over skills. Skills requires much more Kcal burn to achieve a similar result for being warm, fed and rested. A Dyneema backpack could be 1 Kg Lighter than a military Bergen, A 800-900 FP down sleeping bag could be 1 Kg lighter than a synthetic sleeping bag. 2 Kg weight saving could be 3 days extra Freeze dried food carry. Foraging/hunting for 10,000 Kcal will probably take more Kcal expended. One skill of course that shouldn't be neglected is Navigation using a map and compass.

Goods skills are always your base, equipment helps you to last longer in situations. One is no good without the other.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

@@lisarice7971 thanks 🙏
Skills and equipment go hand in hand together and they both need knowledge.... Knowledge is king.
@@neanderthaloutdoors9202 💯 buddy
Practiced with every single bit of kit. Got decent knowledge of survival in urban, arctic and out in the woods with minimal or no equipment.
@@twsbibanghorn7343 good stuff 👌💪

So what if your equipment was lost or taken 🤔
