James has interpreted my thoughts exactly. The bushcraft ideal is to leave no trace that we have been there.

I heartily agree with this, but I don't think you can teach either of these skills!!
I'd vote for observation - not just passive watching, but analysing and learning from what you see - I've learnt more from observing humans, animals, plants, weather etc than from any other source
What little "common sense" I possess (I'm an academic :roll: ) is directly attributable to lessons learnt from observing
Oh yeah, Ruperts and navigation...
I onced rowed a coxless pair with a former Rupert - he steered the boat, I stroked. We were competing on a huge lake, devoid of features except the buoys marking the course. Warming up on the way to the start, I heard an almighty crash and the boat came to a sudden halt. I looked round, and we'd collided with a huge yellow floating hut thing that umpires sit in...

How to work my mobile phone...containing the phone numbers of lots of bushcrafty people, the emergency services and pizza delivery....
Taking into account of course, the fact that I would only be ordering pizza if I knew where I was, because ordering pizza when you're lost wouldn't be a sensible thing to do...and I'm a very sensible person.

Dunno about a Pizza oven but I could manage a reasonable Pizza with rocks and tin foil.
In terms of the "single skill" I'd like to teach, although it probably borders on the philosophical in some peoples eyes, I'd like to convince people that they don't need all the crap they think they need and that when they don't have it, they're not in trouble... They're just in different circumstances.

In all seriousness, I think it would be fire for me. Shelter, if you're lucky you can find, food you can do without for a few days, water would be the other priority.
