Survival is one of two skinning skills, along with First Aid. While the skill has other functions, skinning seems to be the primary reason a character would train in this skill. Survival also affects a character's ability to forage, resist damage due to weather (Such as near Pinefar), build a fire, or find a hidden passageway.

Survival will help prevent a skinner from being Poisoned when skinning a creature such as a snake.

Training in Survival will also assist in movement in some areas, such as the marshy areas outside of the Marsh Keep hunting ground.
