A soldier with survival training, for example, will be able to cope better than an Actor with no survival training, if all things are equal. People who work in the Trades, will more than likely fare better than folks who make their living working in a white collar environment.

Surprised security isn’t on the list. Hard to benefit from all your hard work if you can’t keep it secure.
Medical professionals too, and people that can build solar power equipment. I need a team! Ha-ha.
That’s what I do is gunsmithing and I think it is worth it to know how to fix weapons I also know welding and blacksmithing and bladesmithing these skills will come in handy and they are not hard to learn either
Very nice skill set.
Well thank you it took me 10 years to learn them I started when I was 16 and I’m 26 now and still learning next on my list is mechinest but that will take 2 years to learn
I realized when I was younger that it wouldn’t hirt to have more then one skill set for the sole purpose of being employable but now I see the when $#%&!@* hits the fan they will be priceless
I’ve been studying mostly weapons tactics, and general bush craft lately. I’m not really advanced at anything other than fishing and hand to hand combat. I grew up a country boy so I’m used to being outdoors, starting fires, general camping. I want to learn more about processing animals and farming.
