"It's not your definition, but, I'd like to defend the survival skills being at novice level."
Firstly, please note that what I wrote was the following: "what you have stated in your application ... is too much to be considered a novice skill". This quite literally means 'what you have explicitly put down in your app'. You haven't stated in your application that the character has any limits to her ability, and so I can only assume she doesn't. Thus, it is beyond novice skill. However:
"What she knows are very basic things, how to cook food, make a basic shelter, and treat simple injuries. If you broke your leg, she would tie two pieces of wood together around your leg so you could walk out of a dangerous situation, with assistance, instead of being dead weight.
I don't think that it's too much to have, and while she knows a bit related to survival, she knows little in each given subject."
If this is the case, then you should make it clear in your application (and not in a later post). It may be acceptable depending on what you write and how you outline your character's limits in each area.
The time this is taking is fine; I'm sorry I'm taking a while to explain little things to you. It's been a busy time for me. Anyway, that's all for now. Good luck.
