Survival (Fallout: New Vegas)

Survival is a skill in Fallout: New Vegas. It replaces the Outdoorsman skill from Fallout 2

Survival determines how much HP you will get from drinking/eating. The Survival skill also improves some other benefits from consumable items, such as the strength bonus from alcohol and brahmin steaks. You can also cook over an open fire and create consumable items like stimpaks with the right plans and material. Along with that, you can also tan gecko hides for fun and profit!
