Like the title! I want to cultivate some helpful skills but do so gradually, as a hobbyist. Tempted to get into lockpicking, haha.

Never put much thought into navigation and geocaching, but y’all have me sold. I’ll have to look into that!
I’d also suggest learning camping up to like Luke Nichols on his YouTube channel “Outdoor Boys”. It’s a bit extreme, but at least knowing how to not be completely miserable out in the middle of nowhere is always a nice trick in the bag to have. If nothing else, learning how to start a fire with an empty Bic lighter can be a cool trick to show off to your friends.
Thanks, will do! And I actually do know how to strike a fire up with an empty bic, though finding tinder can be hard.
Oh yeah if you got a knife or a sharp rock you can just scrape off plastic shavings off the lighter to get the small tinder pile set up along with grinding the flint a bit for some of that sweet sparky sparky dust to give it that extra oomph
Oh, didn’t know that part! That’s handy in a pinch, if there’s no dry wood to scrape up into dust.
