I can weave and make clothing [from cloth and knit/crochet], I just learned how to make soap. I'm a good from-scratch cook. Getting better with growing plants too. [This is a shitty environment for making a garden, the dirt is mostly sand so I have to use containers.] I can do simple woodworking too.
And my partner Spirit is a crack shot and can butcher animals.
I'd be happier if I lived somewhere else, [for the real garden I want] and because I want to get some chickens.
Other then that, we're good. :]

I can cook, sew, build, fish, do basic first aid, have access to chemistry and biology textbooks. I was a girl guide and had an awesome grandfather who taught me how to do lots of useful things (chopping wood, using electrical tool, etc).

I'm set! :D

As a Public Affairs and Political Management student I guess I can rebuild government just so I can ruin all the survivalists fun.

...I stood on an orange once.

Does that help?
If we every have to cross a field of oranges you're in luck.

OT: Well I can make up good stories so I could be moral support in a large group. I'm also in good shape and I've hunted before (it was more like waiting).

I know some good Ol' fashioned Boy Scout survival skills, I can shoot a real gun, and I am a good marksman.
I know how to pitch a tent, and how to unlock cars with a coat-hanger (I've locked my keys in the car before XD)

I suppose being generally fit and active is all I can offer, but I expect anyone who survives the initial wave of death will probably end up like that anyway...

um... I can climb things? I can... not see anything, being short-sighted?

Is there electricity still? If so I can give myself really good massages while watching videos on the internet. Thats a skill right? Hand speed?

I'm a pretty good shot with most firearms, so I suppose I could hunt well? That could be useful.

Hmm...I got a high pain threshold and can function normally with little sleep, sometimes less than an hour. Other than that, my expertise lies in computers. Software, not hardware, unfortunately.

Well i'm a medical doctor as well as having a marine biology major with chemistry and agricultural minors. So I'm valuable but with the $300,000 in students loans i have to pay i dont feel so valuable.

Everything I'm skilled at is geared toward entertainment and the internet.
So no, I'd be fucked.

I own a bicycle and have a decent knowledge about how to repair one. That skill and equipment immediately makes me some type of deity if post-apocalyptic movies are anything to go off of.

My skillset is uniquely suited to a post-apocalyptic world. I know how to repair all sorts of things, use guns, hunt, camp, etc. I'd be fine, although maybe a bit bored after I run out of fuel for my generator and PS3. :p

Sharpening sticks? I also wouldn't completely spaz out and trip onto the ground waiting for whatever evil to purge me.
