Forget Your Everyday Job. Do You Have The Skills And Trades To Cut It In A Post-Collapse World?!
Post-collapse, those of us with experience in copywriting may find ourselves a bit out of work and barely scraping by (even more than we are today). The same can be said for many jobs, as our economy and society increasingly depends on the power of the Internet to create jobs and make existing jobs more efficient.
However, when the bubble bursts and the Internet is no longer available to us to use, most of us will not have any marketable skills to help us barter and get along in a world after an economic or societal collapse.
So what skills will be the most marketable in a post-collapse world?

Going to need taylor’s skills, there are gonna be a whole lot of people, you really don’t wanna see running around naked…. Just sayin’.
I am a carpenter by trade who collects functioning old style and antique hand tools and learns how to use them as a hobby. I also have spent a bit if time gardening and stuff not much on seed production though. I also dabble in gunsmithing and have done a bit of fishing lure making and fly tying. I try to widen my knowledge as much as possible. I haven’t done much with electronics yet at all though. Seems like a good list of things to learn though. For life in general. Sewing would be another good skill to have. Maybe a bit of welding. In an emergency or something it won’t have to look pretty just works
Another good one is auto mechanic
Blacksmithing
Doctor maybe, yeah I think that would be easily in the top 3.

Agreed…..Blacksmithing.
I’m a horseshoe with basic blacksmithing skills.
Need to learn canning and preserve meat …smoke house…i live in Pacific Northwest and there is plenty of water amd wildlife but one needs to know how yo sterilize water and preserve foods…and medical knowledge
Medicine?
I would also add medical training (emergency med tech as an example), plumbing and water procurement (and purification), animal care (rudimentary veterinary skills), leather tanning and skill in producing leather products (shoes, belts, sheaths, coats, jackets)… And others..
All the VERY BEST!
In all honesty, you only need 3 of these

The best way to survive is to know your basic necessity’s only you need to survive. 5 C’s cutting, containing, combusting, cordage, and cover. The next step is to try and communicate along with foraging for food and fresh water but if you know how to purify water then that is essential to survival. By creating your own purified drinking water will be one of the most important part of survival. Knots are very important to catch prey or even sleep so familiarize yourself with how to tie it can save your life also.

Whoever is reading this testimony today should celebrate with me and my family bcos it all started like a joke to some people & others said its impossible. After been in relationship with a man for 7yrs, he broke up with me, I love him so much & I did everything possible to bring him back but all in vain. I explained to some1 online and & suggested to contact a spell caster, I met a spell caster called prophet Michael & he told me my ex will return to me with 72hrs, he cast the spell & surprisingly within 56hrs my ex called. All he said was dat he was so sorry for everything dat happened dat he wanted me to return to him dat he love me so much. I was so happy & went to him & start living together happily, Thanks to Prophet Michael so much & I will trusted you forever. I have made a promise to be a source of help to those dat are having relationship problem or facing any problem no matter the case maybe to referred him/her to real & powerful spell caster who helped me with my problem & different from fake ones out there. If you need his assistance in any area of your life contact him prophetmichael665 @ gmail . com
