Any tips to leveling survival tech?

Title. Anything other than having several hunters, or going out hunting myself? Picking berries?

Even collecting lots of stones or sticks to build walls and fences adds to it. Collecting flowers as well. Hunting is a different skill btw.

I'm not talking about the skills (where Hunting and Survival are different), but the Survival technology which includes both.

I was hoping for something a bit easier than running around finding sticks and stones, or animals to hunt. Berries are easier since they are lots in one place. Any other ideas?

You could bypass useful skills and pump up the Trapping Master skill and then load up on animal traps, which can sometimes trap something twice a day.

Other than that, you've itemized the only other ways to advance that tech (along with hired hunters, of which you can get 4 per Hunting Lodge II).

Maybe picking reeds

That's a good idea, there's lots in the same place.

Doing quests is a great way. There are many that give 250-300 xp a pop. It would be a pain to do before you have a mount as it is more efficient travelling faster when you want to go to a bunch of villages to do their quests.

An extra bonus is you get some dynasty points as well from them. DP help unlock the ability to have more villagers if you are capped :)

I usually only see 150 XP rewards. Are you using default settings? I have only seen a few that give survival XP reward.

It may have been things like production or farming quests that were 250-300 range..... I do not know if the exp rewards scale with your reputation as they 'seem' to be more in the 250-300 rage for me recently. So maybe if someone else can chime in to help clarify

The as far as i could see the tech rewards raise by time and 250 was the biggest reward i´ve seen. At year 3 i only have 250 tech rewards.
But perhaps it could raise with your village status, like the tax since release. More and detailed observation need.

Reeds and Sticks

You will find yourself having to pick reeds a lot in the early stages for straw when building just about anything.
