Merry Christmas, /diy/. I wanted to start a SHTF/Prep thread but focus more on skills to learn rather than BOBs.

In your opinion, what are some skills that one should know for survival?

HF for long range.
VHF/UHF for short/medium range.

Ideally, you should use VHF for vehicle-to-vehicle simplex, or duplex operations. UHF should be for short range handheld-to-handheld or duplex operations.

HF should be for stationary applications, as the antennas are much too large for realistic mobile applications.

Go camping. I don't mean car camping but the "hiking out in the middle of fucking nowhere" camping. learn basic knots, learn to start fires (using many methods), learn about water purification/collecting (boiling, bleach, solar stills), learn wilderness first aid, get comfortable with a firearm, learn what native plants in your area are edible, and learn how to think in such a situation.
