Not so much how to survive but how to handle the survival skill. I am not entirely sure how to handle surviving in the wild, tracking and generally what the survival skill from the core rules can cover.
Perception makes sense for tracking but what about foraging for food and such.
What are other people doing to cover this in a game?

I would use Knowledge(Nature) for this.
That's what I've been going with, too. Unless it's underground. Then it's knowledge: dungeoneering. And I allow Druids and Rangers to apply their WIS bonus instead of INT bonus for both of those skills. Plus one bonus point per level.
It's not too big of a bonus, but it is nice for the players.
