Used to joke and actually prepare for an apocalypse in my teen years. Now I have an assortment of learned skills I'll never use unless one happens. But I guess my biggest asset would be cooking. I can make anything edible and tasty. Just because we're barely surviving doesn't mean we have to forgo taste!

I can make ham sandwiches, and I can eat ham sandwiches. Overall, I'm fairly confident I could survive, until all my ham and bread runs out.
Edit: Oh and I just realized, I could be the anti-social madman who starts a radio station!

just really depends on the situation.. if everything sort of got destroyed i would get on fine, build a house, maybe start farming some animals.. no really special skills, but i wouldn't have a hard time surviving.

I can be DAMN convincing at times, maybe I'd start a cult..
Why have survival skills when you can depend on others to have them for you?

In all honesty, not a whole lot. I can make blunt force instruments with any amount of wood and duck tape, and I'd be good at keeping track of inventory and boosting morale. Problem is, most people can do this.

I can make some medicine, how I'd get chemicals is beyond me but I'm sure someone else would handle that.

I'm decent at fishing so I guess I could be marginally useful in areas with rivers/lakes. I also might, just might, be able to build a fire if you give me a lighter and some dry branches but I never tested anything so extreme. Plus I could wait for humanity to reinvent the internet and then post irrelevant comments on random websites, that's always in demand.

Willpower. I CAN FUCKING SURVIVE MIND RAPING,I KNOW BECAUSE I AM CURRENTLY COMMITTING MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL ENDURANCE!!! (Let's just say My Little Pony is really hard to watch if you're me and watching it on a TV,even if nobody is in the house I'm going insane.)

Plus I can cook with improvisation.

What? The world ending next year? well, according to scientists, my geographicallocation makes me pretty much safe...so I'll be doing what I do best, parking on the couch playing XBOX, and occasionally flipping through the news channels to see you other suckers trying "use your skills". :)

I'm really good at failing miserably at everything I try.

So, the plan is to try and keep zombies alive as long as possible.

I'll try to make them hate me, then when I become their leader, I'll try and defeat the humans. Then I'll make all the humans hate me and everything will be good again.

I concider myself a good thinker, im calm in stressful/dangerous situations i also have a fair bit of knowlage on weapons, servival knowlage and first aid. I'm not that good a fighter but if i had a weapon probaly a gun, that would sort that bit out i guess. I also know how to drive so that might help until all the fule supplys run out.
