Scrounging is the ability to reason, to know where a desired item may have been left by somebody, or who to talk to to find out. It's understanding that homes in a certain region often have root cellars, or that the copper wire the mechanic needs might be salvaged from an old television or washing machine.

Observation/recon is more about the here and now, reading the ground, seeing the bushes moving and understanding there may be a person or animal there. Noticing small details and having a general and ongoing awareness of the surroundings.
