The world has gone post apocalyptic: What skills do you bring to the table?

The eternal cynic - telling everyone that their plans won't work.

I also look like Where's Wally, so I can blend into the background (and hide scrolls). :)
 
I have a copy of Lofty Wiseman's SAS Survival Guide, an M4A1 airsoft gun, a rusty bayonet and the thousand-yard stare. I'll be fine.
 
I can bring being professionally good looking to the table.

Reproduction. Definitely.

The ability to catch cancer from nuclear contaminents. Interested to know how you think a non-nuclear missile aimed at all power stations in this country would be any less crippling in the long term than a nuclear one.

Your still not specific enough on the scenario, arguably 10% of the population is still a lot of survivors so it's just a question of getting the infastructure back up and running, but on the otherhand pure anarchy would probably be just as likely.
 
I'm an amicable chap and would be motivated to stay alive to look after my family so I reckon I'd put the spade work in for most things.

That and I know a few people in my area who have guns, so if they're dead, I could provide a small arsenal.
 
I am a pretty good shoot and can get access to a load of firearms so I would just force everyone with useful skills to work for me. No point working hard when i can sit back and relax!

Money would have little value in a post-apocalyptic scenario....what a religion would give me is power and control, far more useful things.

Although individually I have extensive survival skills, proven ability to survive and flourish in some of the most extreme terrain and conditions in the world. I can track, hunt, trap, and prepare wild animals for food as well as ancillary uses such as preparing tallow and clothing, have a reasonable knowledge of what flora/fauna is safe to eat and what should be avoided. I have a certain amount of skill in various offensive and defensive fighting techniques, also a reasonable knowledge of tactical and strategic planning, both in the local short-term and in the overall long-term theatre. I can fashion various weapons from scratch, as well as having extensive weapons training and experience in conventional personal and heavy weapons. I can drive just about anything, can start a fire, read a map, use a compass, deal with minor injuries including sutures, build a shelter in most situations and terrains, build and maintain a water still, have a fair knowledge of medicinal plants etc.....and so on.

I suspect that I should be just fine........:p

Still, it would be safer with a horde of religious fanatics protecting me, less hard work also.....

I would be willing to watch your back as Religious leader.
My skills are professional medical skills, trained in trad Chinese medicine (usefull when coventional drugs are scarce) Acupuncture. Extensive exp training others in Martial and weapons skills, good hunting and fishing skills, knowledge of breeding livestock, Can bring a pack of large dogs useful to guard,protect and hunt. Good supply of traditional herbs and medicines.
Quite happy to work quietly in the background and can be ruthless when required. Oh large stock of excellet malt whisky .....I gather it will not be a alcohol free religion ??
