I will work on sharpening, fire building, and knot tying, before making any purchases. sincerest thanks for your help and the time you took to write your replies. here is the stone i have, which i believe should be sufficient: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019A1G0YO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
from a very quick google: i find that the dude from this video does a good job technique wise. just get a very simple two sided stone like this or if you want to get fancy this one, those are more than fine for bad to mediocre blades. or something similar grit wise. i have an old Zwilling double sided stone, 800/1000 i believe. 1000 grit will usually get you pretty sharp but a little sawtoothy (still very workable and good for a shit knife) and anything beyong is good for getting that fine edge. you can't really mess this up except spend too much money on a whet stone. if you're not knife pro and you just want to cut the damn potatoes without cursing, don't go over 20-30 bucks for that thing. it's a fuckn stone, for god's sake.
oh and an additional money saving LPT: you can use the backs of other knives or basically any sharp metallic ridge as your daily honing steel. just run that knife along the steel for 4 strokes befor you cook and you're riging high and tight.
If you're looking for really cheap but still pretty decent, I've been really happy with my [8" Chicago Cutlery chef's knife] (https://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Cutlery-Essentials-8-Inch-Knife/dp/B004TFDEPK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1523263987&sr=8-5&keywords=Chicago+cutlery+chef%27s+knife). I don't really need to sharpen it all that often, but when I do I use this [Utopia Kitchen whetstone] (https://www.amazon.com/Double-Sided-Knife-Sharpening-Stone-Multi-Colored/dp/B019A1G0YO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1523264240&sr=8-3&keywords=Utopia+Kitchen+sharpening+stone). They're certainly not top-of-the-line tools, but without dropping quite a bit more money I don't know that you could do much better.
