This video is so amazing to check out , it really shows how everyone has something to offer , and that you never really know what someone could teach you .I find myself always learning something new no matter how much I think i got figured out , I find another way.
This book is a great start for anyone to read who is highly interested in learning anything of not only survival but the ability to thrive in the wild . Literally I tell everyone you can rebuild civilization with this book it has everything from building homes like the above video from rock,mud,or wood to farming ,hunting, fishing ,alternative energy,making clothes ,raising livestock, making beer and wine ect.....ect....
These are my own personal arrowheads made from a process called "conchodial fracture" from rocks like these that sound like glass when tapped togethar
And of course one of the most important things I learned that use everytime in out in the wild is the infamous slipknot ...either to catch game or to hold logs together you will use this not for everything , of course there is always other knots to know for specific tasks but this is the most common to use 
Another importance of minimalist survival is of course fire.I recommend always knowing how to makeshift a bow drill set and doing it a few times to ensure you know how Incas you ever need too or even pack a magnesium stick but anymore I take a lens that I scavenged from an old floor model TV 
Plant life and knowing what is available in your area is vital aswell from bloodroot ,yellowroot, sassy fras tea ,to ginseng which all grows in my area of the Appalachian mountains. Here is a picture of ginseng 
More than just a hobby being a survival minimalist is a lifestyle that will always give me comfort in knowing that no matter what, nature will always provide.
