I can betray all the remaining survivors and eat their flesh.
Not sure if that's a particularly useful skill to anyone but me.
Oh, I'm honest too.

Pretty good with a weapon, be it a knife or firearm. Have a fair amount of survival and hunting skills. Know a little bit about farming and animal husbandry. Can assist in producing simple tools and items. Know when to shut up and when to speak up.
Eh... I'd be pretty okay. I know who to stick to and who to shoot or scare away.

Leader/Leader's Aide. I've got the means and friends to survive, plus the survival instincts along with my gang.
My best skill is that I'm great at improvising, and am a quick learner.
Also I have a good sense for technology, I can usually fix most things, or figure out how they work with relative ease.
Beyond that, quick wit and some diplomatic sense and can easily convince others to see my point of view. People usually see me as the nice kid next door (you have no idea how handy that is when you're working in a store selling things).
Other than that, I think my useful skills come to an end.

I'm good at organizing people and problem solving. I also have a decent grasp of tactics and firearms because I play paintball and my uncle is a cop. I'd make a half decent militia comander.
I own over 700 novels so I could help start the First Post-Apocalyptic Library Branch of the New World, lol. I'm also a great cook, I can hunt, I'm a musician, and a massage therapist. I'm decent with vehicle repair, I'm a pretty good architectural designer, and have a green thumb, so I'm sure I'll find a place somewhere.
In my favor:
Nerd knowledge
Alarmingly overprepared as it is
I've seen every episode of "Survivor Man"
Having a crazy hillbilly father who taught me to shoot, throw knives and hatchets, etc. when I was a child.
I think I'm pretty well set.
EDIT: Oh, and I recently purchased a crossbow... No reason.

Well, I am moderately knowledgeable when it comes to electronics, so I could work on jury rigging still in piece solar panels to power things, fix small electronics, etc. Possession wise, some knives, some canned food, not too much really, I guess I would scavenge a lot, oh I was a boy scout for quite a bit, so I do have general survival skills.
...Wait, is this ten percent before or after radiation poisioning wipes a good propotion of the people living in Asia? Also, Mt St Helens? You do realise that when Mt St Helens erupted in 1980, the death toll was...fifty-seven? If you're looking for a massive volcano to aid in your apocolyptic scenario, Yellowstone National Park is better. In addition, I think if the polar ice caps melted "suddenly", I think humanity would have bigger worries than whether the Greek and Norse pantheon was having a hissy-fit.Technocrat said:
I'm fairly persuasive. Four years in scouts means that, if necessary, I can construct things out of wood and rope. I'm strong and fairly tall. I have relatives who live in the country-side. I know how to grow food. If I'm lucky enough I know where I can find a lot of camping equipment.Technocrat said:
