I feel as if “survival” has a bit of an offputting connotation, and it does not even describe very well the act of doing things with natural materials. Is weaving a basket “surviving”? Of course, you presumably need to be alive to do such a thing, and it might help with some activities related to maintaining life... but I personally would be more inclined towards something like “lowtech”, and it feels more descriptive as well. Whereas high tech denotes massive supply lines and precision equipment and complex mechanisms, doing things with nature is the exact opposite— small supply lines, generally simple mechanisms, and such— it would seem natural that it might be called “low tech”.

Of course, this is just a name, and while the different names might attract different people, they essentially have a relatively similar meaning.
