    I have the ability to provide constant unyielding optimism as long as no one ever asks me how I’m doing

    I can brew beer, bake bread, make wine, kill animals, preserve meat without a refrigerator, make sausages.

    I have watched a frankly absurd amount of youtube survival videos. I am reasonably certain i could survive long enough to die of starvation since the foraging aspect of survival never really interested me enough

    I’m a first-waver and I’m fine with that. The world is shit enough as it is, and I’m tired. Apocalypse? Not interested. Have at it.

    I was an electrical engineering student a long time ago, pretty handy with most tools and electronics. I’m also least likely to kill or rape people. Well, maybe not the least likely, but very low on the list of suspects.

    I could probably get working communications up and running for communities in like a couple of weeks plus travel. I probably won’t eat you.

    I also have experience in demolition, reclamation, and construction. I can outrun the vast majority of people. How fast can you run?

    Unfortunately, I’m a rifle and pistol skills trainer, handy enough with both power and non-power tools to barricade/build a functional shelter, a decent cook with barbones equipment, athletic enough to carry all that and still put in a days ruck, and multilingual enough that we won’t have to kill everyone we come across right away…

    Fortunately, my body regularly tries to kill me and I’ll probably be in a coma before the month is out - so peace suckers.

      5-long quest chain to wake you up since you’re the rare trainer who can show me how to use the Buttfuckerator 5000 is what I’m getting from this

        It’s unfortunate because I am skilled in things that would matter, so I’d likely survive the initial horrors if I’m not within blast radius and have to kill my family when they reanimate.

        Fortunately I won’t have to live with that long.

        I think what they’re trying to say is that they wouldn’t want to survive in an apocalypse, so it’s unfortunate (ironic?) that they’re apparently so well suited to it.

    I’m really snarky. What everyone really craves in trying times is a relentless stream of inane criticism.

      That guy will generally get voted off the island first… Which in event of apocalypse would mean certain death.

      Until you realize that every household still has computer remnants, and all you need is a generator to turn them on again

      Maybe it’s not the most immediate necessary skill, but once you start trying to restart a community it sure as hell will be useful to know how to program and make the computer do things. Especially if you will need to use microcontrollers for anything important

    Gardening, food preservation, baking, and backyard chickens. I’ll trade zucchini and eggs for everything and if I can’t I’ll give them away
