Let's face it. After SHTF, those of us who are bloggers, marketers, sales people, musicians, and take part in other professions may struggle with finding work and ultimately making a living to survive.

Today most of us rely on the internet for our jobs, and if you go to the office daily or spend your day at a desk, chances are your skills aren't where they need to be to survive after a significant collapse. The way our jobs are going doesn't seem to change anytime soon either. Jobs will continue to gain momentum thanks to the internet, which begs the question — without the web, how will preppers survive?

In a post-collapse world, you will need how to survive without the internet, and you will need a valuable set of skills that will pull you through. Which leads us to discuss another topic of what skills are most useful.

Now, we realize this list does not include some skills and trades (i.e., being a doctor or blacksmith), but here are five powerful skills that if you practice, you will be able to thrive successfully in a post-collapse world.

Ultimately having the right trade is what is going to help you survive because you can barter. Thriving in a world after an economic or societal collapse is your key to survival.

Find out five of best trades and skills you should consider learning in a post-collapse world to survive after the break.
