I grew up in the woods, have hunted and foraged, I've raised and butchered livestock, I'm pretty crafty, I've lived off the grid, and I have a rifle. I'd have to get to my dad's gun safe in Cali to get it though, so I probably shouldn't rely on that. I feel like I would be better off than most.

They'd know how to build shelter properly and purify water all other kinds of nifty survival skills! @TARDIStime Oh, and some kind of Scouts Leader, too.

We'd have to kill and eat animals, but I realised the other day that I'd have no idea how to go about skinning and gutting an animal after I caught it. Also: Herbologist/botanist. We probably would only be able to maintain minimal agricultural establishment, so we'd have to rely on what we could gather. But how to we know that particular mushroom/herb is not poisonous, hmmm? +1 homeless people! Butcher.

If it was actually your profession, you've probably dealt with some bad stuff, too, like crappy weather when you weren't expecting it. @Stina Oh, these are both really good–I like wilderness/hunting guide.

Even if you flunked out of med school you'd probably still be in pretty high demand. I have none of these skills though. I guess I could write the only surviving account of the apocalypse.

Really! I want to go out in the first wave!)but I think .... 1. Large animal vet. Think about it. Has to be able to do a huge variety of medical procedures with amateur help and in less than ideal conditions. 2. Wilderness/hunting guide. Has to be able to deal with people and can hunt for food. Good with traps for food and/or security. Sadly I have thought about this due to watching “The Walking Dead” (I’m not a prepper! Really! I want to go out in the first wave!)but I think ….
