The fact that many of our stories which date from this time have a unique character identified as "the woodsman" implies that being a woodsman, even then, meant something special.

Yeah, so I agree with this, but that just means the Woodsman talent needs some specifically articulated "advanced" skills because for it to mean anything at all it must go beyond common peasant knowledge.
I believe the common peasant knew how to find common edible plants, snare small game, fix his thatch (or whatever) roof and build a fire without matches.
