    I think my skills would be most beneficial when we get around to starting a new civilisation. You know, making wine, growing food stuffs, baking bread, canning, making soap, going from raw wool or other fibers to nice warm garments, some herb knowledge. Doesn't do any harm that I can also run and lift a bit ;-)

    If it happens, i don't see the point of survival only to continue to live in fear for perpetuity. I'd rather take two to the head and end the suffering.


    What do you think life is every day now? Every day we wake up its about survival. There is stuff going on in the world today that is a whole lot scarier than zombies. At least zombies don't have the ability to plot and plan and reason.

    You might as well go ahead and do it today, and save the resources for us.

    Have you ever seen the show? I don't know where you live, but there is nothing that scary going on where I live.

    As for me, I don't think I'd make it very long LOL.

    Well..I will let you judge. I can hunt and kill and clean and cook my own food. I can grow my own food. I am pretty mechanically inclined and very creative. I do not have a problem with defending myself or what is mine or helping out friends (this could be my undoing)...and I HATE zombies.

    And the "humans" have been a far bigger threat. . . . thus far.

    Zombie Apocalypse Skills eh? Alright.. let me list them.

    I know how to make the following armor, functional at that.
    Chainmaille, Boiled Leather, linothorax. If I have the proper steel sheeting I can size and make plate as well.

    I can operate a forge for simple tools, hammers, chisels, knives, crude swords.

    I can build a steel reinforced mason wall, know a bit about irrigation technique, can grow my own food, find edible plants, hunt, purify water and I know the very best ways to heat a structure using any traditional method imaginable.

    I can build a generator if necessary and with access to a machine shop, otherwise I can repair small motors and do all the necessary maintenance.

    All that said I'm a crack shot with a rifle and only slightly less proficient with a hand gun, can throw a well balanced hatchet or knife and hit my target with about 80% accuracy. I have been trained in traditional longsword techniques, can throw a javelin quite nicely and have trained other individuals in most of the above crap.

    None of that crap matters, because my main skill and most useful in any sort of apocalyptic breakdown is my knowledge and ability to turn hops into beer and distill one hell of a wicked whiskey. :drinker:

    Yeah, Nancy Pelosi

    run faster--they're not very fast, particularly when they start losing limbs and what not.
