I chose survival skills.
Money can get a lot of things, and I have grown accustomed to the easy, technology filled lives we lead today.
But...
Nothing comes close to the feelings I get when I am strolling through a beautiful forest, wild camping beside a lake or just hanging out with my friends at a park. It's easy to get pulled away from these simple joys that almost everyone has access. I usually have a lot of trouble getting away from the computer to go for a walk, just because it's so easy to live in my warm house without any stress.
The main reason I guess I chose survival skills is because ultimately I respect nature more than I do civilization. I think civilization is great but I don't think that anyone in the world should be wholly dependent on it, because it pulls us from our roots. The one thing that really gets me is when I see humans who don't understand the beauty of nature, those who ruin it or disregard it. I know that it is civilization that caused them to be that way and I want to be sure that I never become like that.
Maybe if I was given enough money to let me buy a huge plot of land then I would choose money so that I could build a nature reserve, other than that I choose survival skills.
