What skills do you have that make you valuable post-shtf?

[TheDan]

Corn cobs, Sears catalog pages, flowing water - way too many substitutes for this to be a vital skill.

Yeah, but you're single. TP will be more valuable than your liquor and cigarettes post SHTF.

Tobacco seeds would be a commodity. Besides the drug aspect. It's an excellent bug killer. Since nicotine is a neurotoxin. There's not many bugs that can take it. Besides a cigar beetle. Tobacco has several medical uses also. Skin rashes, insect bites, tooth aches, colds, and even tooth paste. Some studies show nicotine improved symptoms of Alzheimer's.

Liquor and the distillation of such would be extremely valuable. It's an antiseptic, solvent and fuel.

You are also single... Women will be sending men off to war over a roll of TP once it becomes scarce.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.

Food, water filtration, fire and basic sanitation supplies will be the new currencies.

I can hunt and fish well.
I have water filtration.
More firestarting tools and supplies than you can shake a stick at.
I can make a basic still and make soap.

What exactly do you do at work then since you work nights?

I tried reloading but every time I tried to tap in the new primer it would pop. Then the bullet would not work.
When the SHTF I think I will just stay home.

Shot placement is everything.

My soft skills are more valuable than my hard skills.

I work well between two or more groups, disciplines, or individuals who have the same goals but can't work together without a mediator.

I know what order tasks need to be put into make things work on a large scale.

I've accumulated enough general knowledge my BS meter is mostly right.

My goal is to build my hard skills some more with animal husbandry, land management and gardening in the next 10 years.

I can fart on demand. This will come in really handy when you need someone for bait. I can fart (usually really bad), they come after me, you kill them before they kill me. Hopefully. Otherwise you only get my services once.

I am a great cook. I can make duck egg omelttes out of almost anything. I can cook venison so that it doesn't taste like venison. Or if we get tired of it not tasting like venison? I can make it taste like venison.

I have almost four guns. So there's that. And all almost four have ammo to go with them.

I can tie all kinds of knots. I'll just leave it at that. (wink, wink)

I am really super duper fat, so if the SHTF involves water? I can be a temporary flotation device.

I know how to make shine. So if we can commandeer a grain silo, we got booze. I guess we will have to worry about the smell when we get there.

I know how to work on cars, boats and motorcycles. I can keep your motors running, assuming gas is available.

I can walk a really long time with a lot of weight on me. Pack. Mule.

I know basic first aid. If you catch a bullet, your screwed. If you get a blister, I can help.

I have an awesome first aid kit. It even has gauze in it. In case someone needs to blow their nose. Not sure what else its used for.

I work nights as a nurse, I sleep days from 8-3 so therefore sometimes I put on clothes...sometimes I don't

I'm a good dish washer?

 

[Davetex]

I can eat Doritos like a buzz saw.

 

[texasnurse]

What can you do that would set you apart from others? Obviously something like "type 100 words per minute" isn't a real necessity, while someone that knows advanced medicine would be very valuable. And for the search nazi's, I did. Thanks. Reply With Quote

I know enough to turn off the fan before I clean the $#i+ off it.

Unless you're a nurse than no...

Clint Eastwood & Eli Wallach had a partnership kind of like that.
