I expect people who get rough winters are better prepared, but they may not be able to skin a bear. The media can influence your views. I now think a typical Canadian is like Scott Pilgrim :)

I've cleaned and gutted fish, but never skinned a bear or any game mammal. I've chopped and split wood before, but never built a cabin. I've hiked & camped remote mountain trails, but never lived out in the remote wilderness.
Like more than half of the men from Alaska, I 'dabble' at being an "Alaska Man" without coming close to fully realizing that potential... 😉
I've done plenty of camping, but not much in the wild. I've got some basic skills, but I wonder how I'd do if I had to live off the land. In the UK you tend to never be too far from 'civilisation', so we mostly get by without such skills.
