Survival

Attribute: Intelligence
Possession of the Survival skill indicates familiarity with a broad variety of environmental conditions. This allows the individual to live off the land or stay alive in situations where most individuals would have trouble finding food, water, or shelter.

The likelihood of Survival skill (no matter how good) allowing a character to find breathable air in a vacuum is rather slight, but Survival would allow an individual to use any tools at hand to build an adequate shelter or to locate caves or natural features which could assist in survival. Survival also allows the fashioning and use of such environmentally appropriate equipment as skis, snowshoes, protective hats, etc. Certain equipment makes Survival tasks les difficult: water test kits and purifiers, atmospheric sniffers and chemical analyzers.
