Can grow weed and am purple belt in bjj. Could teach wrestling and grappling and get you high. Worked as an electrical apprentice for some time. Can wire up all sorts of basic shit. Insulated a couple thousand home in my time, I can keep a place warm.
Gallows humor and wisecracks, mostly.
I have an infinite amount of patience, diplomacy and faith in the importance of solidarity
Nice try skynet.
That's an awful skill. +1 zombies to worry about? An extra corpse to get rid of? Please don't. Get a useful hobby instead. Gardening, carpentry, chemical engineering, knitting - all much more useful for survival.
I have a lot of knives.
oooh. I like rope! and knives. basically, I own a boyscout handbook from the 90s
Kinky.
I have a lot of water purification capability. And a couple of guns and a little ammo. Hell yeah I'll eat whatever critters come my way if I need to. Hunting rules go out the window when all of society is starving. We'll manage to kill off all of the animals on earth at this rate. Funny thing is, governments are mostly to blame. It wouldn't be a problem except they're all greedy as fuck. The people and the earth pay the price.
As I said in another comment. my special skill is preparation and planning.
I have millions of books on subjects ranging from social economics to medical texts. these are stored on my personal servers.
I have hand picked the most essential and placed them on SD cards in case power is hard to come by. I have two e-ink readers that can be used to read the cards.
I also have physical books of immediate needs like FM 21-76. Some medical texts as well as pharmaceutical. I also have textbooks from school so that my kids can continue their education.
I have an insane amount of movies and television. ranging from adult to kid content. I have collected a wide ranging spank bank(6tb!). When shit gets rough, people will give up anything to feel "happy normal" again.
I'm currently in the process teaching myself how to train AI models on content(more of a hobby). I'd like to train some models on the books I have and base them on specific topics like medical, construction, etc...
That's a fair point too. I grew up very poor. I learned to be resourceful and make due with what you have early on in life. If I can't source what I need it's likely I can make it.
I can farm, I can perform minor surgery/field medic, I can build buildings, I can weld, I can shoot/hunt. if there's something I can't do, it's likely in one of the books I have so that I can at least learn how to try.
always lived my life with the constant threat of all my things being taken away from me. It made me accept early on that the only thing that can't be stolen from me is my knowledge, so in essence I am my best asset for survival.
You sound somewhat useful to whatever gang controls your local area.
GreenKnight23, we need to cook
Most likely they'll take the stuff from them. Their abilities might save them, but sometimes those with skills are seen as a threat.
Being naturally avoidant of other people. It's always other people who pose the greatest danger in these situations.
I'm a master of telling bad puns.
I'm large. Good for blocking entrances and creating uneven terrain. I'm a nurse too, but all that lets me do is tell you "that's not normal" and "that's not compatible with life."
I'm exceptionally charismatic and can become friends with literally everyone.
That's a useful talent even pre-apoc.
