catastrophe?
So society has collapsed. Nibiru has arrived, the zombies have risen, the rapture has taken all the Christians away.
What ever it is society has collapsed and now their is no law, no power you are on your own.
What skills do you bring to the table that would help you survive? Everyone can shoot a gun or fish. So what can you do that would make you a valuable asset?
I have several. I can make something out of nothing. Need a fishing pole? I can come up with a pole and line and all the accoutrements out nearly anything. I have fairly decent organizational skills. I can mesh the little picture with the big picture and tell the difference. I am an okay strategist, good for military operations. I am calm in the pressure of the moment.
I would not make a good general but I would make a decent sergeant.

I'd have no trouble eating people. Wouldn't even need to be that hungry honestly.

I would not make a good general but I would make a decent sargent. We play this game at home sometimes, my husband is a construction worker so he's first in the bunker, my son is in the Cadets so he has survival skills and he can use a gun. I'm out with the zombies because apparently it will probably have been the fault of 'bloody scientists' that everything went apocalyptic in the first place. My Mum and sister (and possibly daughter) are lawyers so they're in charge. |

I run a sustainable smallholding where I aim at being self sufficient, so the question rather is, what skills do I not have?
So I can build, cure meat, slaughter, grow veggies, make rope, make beer, make cheese, make cloth, forage, fishing, boil spirits etc. But on the question I asked myself, I need to learn pottery and blacksmithing.

Assuming I am still alive after the catastrophe, I guess whatever skills helped me survive the catastrophe in the first place would come in handy. And this would depend on the type of catastrophe. Really? I doubt it. |

Everyone can shoot a gun or fish. Not me. I've never even see a real gun, nor ever tried to fish. |

I would be the calmer downer picker upper!  CoolJGS: Don't worry guys! That cloud that smells poisonous and stings a little will actually shield us from the atheist zombie hordes while we keep looking for caves to protect us from the meteors crashing onto earth. We have a full 2 minutes and that's plenty of time. We may even be able to have lunch which the gas cloud appears to be cooking for us! |

I'd be shit out of luck, but I hope that one would be surprised at what one can do in a time of crisis. Although I agree with Graham, I am not much of a fisher and I've never held a real gun in my hands. I do not like guns and most of the time I think they are for cowards if not used in self-defence.

Okay everyone can shoot a gun or fish. They necessarily will not be that good at it but they can still do it. [mjyrds]

Then fishing skills would be useless. And what if the catastrophe involves all structures with iron collapsing? Then guns would not work. But then, you have pretended in your OP that you can "make something out of nothing". How about you discuss this with Creationists? |

Yeah try reading the entire thing. It is not that hard to point something or throw a line in the water. The second part is what you missed. |

Well if we are going to go with what ifs then what if the sun exploded tomorrow. [eyes] I included the making something out of nothing for the creationists. |

Well, personally I believe that death is the rapture, but either way we'll be gone and out of your way.  |

The second part is what you missed. I did, and you just proved my point. It's not even about just throwing a hook in the water, it,s about knowledge of the species you are trying to catch. Like the European perch likes to bite in rapid waters (like near a dam) or that the only good place to put your "eel basket" (don't know the english word) is in a shaded area with slow running water. |

Decent sergeants tend to know how to spell sergeant.
