Another [Gerund Tact] in the JP original (Mountain-Secluding Tact), 'though not sure how to adapt it into English. Guess we can call this Commando Tact but now it's not longer an -ing word.

I know it's lost the -ing you want but Survivalist Tact seems fitting from what I've seen. Is she actually this over the top as a nature lover? Or just some good ol fashioned flanderization. It's fun either way.

On second thought people actually use survivalist as a makeshift verb (differentiating it from survive) so just going to tack on -ing there.
(Note that the Japanese version does actually went out of its way to include a katakana -ring/-ing sound, so I try to preserve it.)

There are people who go camping in the mountains Yurucamp-style like Cafe and Ayabe. Then there's Tact who goes "camping" Naked Snake-style. Living off the land, digging through dirt to forage for edible roots, hunting, trapping, fishing... the whole nine yards. Though I guess unlike Snake she did actually bother to get hunting permits first.
So yes, Tact is a hardcore wilderness survivalist in canon. Heck, she even thinks it's a good idea to teach "survival skills" to new students because it would be a great method to "nurture their bodies and minds". Her idea of a birthday present for Almond Eye is to show her an "excellent waterfall" in the middle of nowhere to bathe under, while promising to guard her from wild animals on the way there since she "has the necessary hunting and trapping permits". Oh and one of the official 1-komas depict her as thinking that bear season is the perfect season to go hiking in the woods because of all the "cute and lively bears" frolicking about.
...while the bear is fleeing from her in SHEER TERROR.

Tact might be equivalent to a Catachan from W40k
