If the World Ends, Do You have Any Useful Skills?

[LongAndShort]

I'm a good listener, but can hold up my own end of a conversation.

Aside from that I have a little (a little) outdoors knowledge, but I can swing a crowbar or shovel pretty hard.

 

[Aglaid]

I have ears and a nose that work, oh and a pair of eyes and hands and feet that all function perfectly so I think I'm set.

 

[Actual]

I software test like a boss, man I am a button clicking machine.

...I errrr...not sure how to apply this to a post-apocalyptic world.

 

[Falconsgyre]

I can... do science? And program computers? I guess I can help infiltrate the base of the inevitable oppressive technological overlords.

 

[Black Arrow Officer]

I'm physically strong and have a 5th degree black belt, as well as marksmanship training. That could help when we start making firearms again.

 

[Ursus Buckler]

I have eleven years of experience in Jujitsu. But on a more serious note, I'm a fucking Pokemon Master.

 

[AzureRaven]

I'm a good hunter if it comes down to it. I can operate and maintain firearms. I can tinker with computers to some degree, and I'm a pretty good cook. And if none of those are needed...weeell, damn.

 

[Hitokiri_Gensai]

im a crack shot, and somewhat of a survival expert. I was given training in irregular warfare and SERE. I know how to cook using just about anything thats edible, i know how to spot SOME edible mushrooms (i dont trust myself on that one though xD).

 

[Cleo Cowdrey]

I know how to make booze.

Aaah! Avatar snap! I win!
Good skill though.

 

[AetherWolf]

Befriend the local wildlife?

Well, unless your dealing with the world's fauna becoming radioactively mutated and savage. Then all I could really do is teach people how to survive and cope. And by cope, I mean man the fuck up or get off my turf.

 

[GeneralFungi]

I have sine basic survival skills... My lanky frame makes it easy to get into tight spaces normally only small children can reach. But otherwise, I'm practically useless.

 

[Grotch Willis]

I know basic survival skills, so i think i'd be okay for a while.

 

[yookiwooki]

Boy Scouts, *****:

I have taught or had comprehensive lessons for all this:
fire building
shelter making
sailing
rowing
canoeing
outdoor cooking
archery
gun shooting
hiking
wood cutting/carpentry
swimming (lifeguard)
crosscountry running

the only skill I really wish I had more of is fixing cars and other machines, which I imagine would be really important in a apocalyptic situation

 

[InsaneMaggot]

I have the skill to take thread titles literally. So if the world ends, what good does my skill "wrestling-with-radioactive-sharks" do? me and the shark are both screwed.

Ok. just a joke, i know how you meant it. No, i'd be f'cked. Fencing isn't really a survival-skill, but i guess i could intimidate roaming scavengers with my sword-skills?

 

[teisjm]

uhm, I can go for over 24 hours without food, before it starts to affect me, and i can eat unreal amounts of food when it does show up... could be usefull when you never know where your next meal is gonna come from.

I can fix more or less anything worth fixing, from broken bones, broken water melons, social problems, annoying people who won't shut up etc with duct tape.

And i'm really good at climbing stuff

 

[babinro]

I will provide the much needed hard cover 4e D&D books, dice, and miniatures along with Magic cards with which to entertain people in a world without electricity. It will be awesome!

 

[AngryMongoose]

Yeah, I can readily accept inevitable and immediate death. A useful skill that'll be required for the vast majority of the planet.

I don't have any physical skills, but I have a pretty analytical mind and am good at picking things up; I'd make a good physicist or engineer if society is still advanced enough for that to be useful.

Otherwise... I don't know; male hooker? Slave? Ashtray? Depending on how far humanity degrades death looks like the best option. I'd starve to death extremely quickly; I'm bordering on doing so now.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I bet you that I'd turn out to be a delicious dinner one day.

 

[Adam Galli]

I'm an EMT about to get my paramedic license so I got the medical skills. Plus, I'm a damn good shot with a rifle.

 

[LongAndShort]

I know how to make booze.

The most useful skill I've seen here so far. Seriously, let's see how fast the mutant zombies will be running pissed off their faces...

"Bbrrraaaiiii-"*hic**trip*
Hilarity ensues.
