As a Rancher/Cowboy I am outside all day long. We pack into BLM for a few weeks every year, manage fix and improve ranches, and mostly dealing with livestock. If I had to lay out as a set of skills that we use would be:
Horsemanship
Packing Horses
Construction of temporary housing (Think tent but making the campsite better for rain snow etc)
Small Arms Rifle
Butchering
Animal Behavior
Drinking (LOTS of this with cowboys)
Tracking
BBQing (NOT cooking. My wife kicks me out of the kitchen!)
Vet Medicine
Roping
Mountaineering (mostly tieing knots etc)
Meteorology (Is there a storm coming in?)
Driving vehicles of ALL types, quads, pickups, bull dozers, excavators, backhoes mostly
Story Telling (Communication or Persuasion possibly)
Sewing
Horse shoeing
Leatherwork
Welding and Fabricating
Mechanic
Plumbing
I don't know how relevant this is but if it gives you some ideas there you go!
