I did! I can grow things!

I have a garden and chickens, I know how to hunt and fish (thanks dad!), I've even built my own house so I have carpentry skills as well.

A little known fact about me. I am immortal. So there is that.

Growing things will be important--but not right away.

 

At first, people will have to form communities, find a territory, and prove they can defend it.  It takes months to grow most crops, and that depends on the time of year.  If the apocalypse hits in December and you aren't in some sun belt state--it's going to be many months before you can even think about planting a crop.

 

It will be important, but not for months--maybe even longer depending on how many people are left, what existing food supplies survive and are available, and how much arable land is available in any area for cultivation.

I give you all permission to eat my dead body - but just don't kill me to do it please.

If I said I could make moonshine and chocolate, would that keep me around?

Every group needs to have someone they can refer to as "don't be like that!" I live to be the bad example....Other than that, I await my fate.....

am not concerned about the apocalypse--more than any skills you may possess, any weapons you may have, the most important thing for your survival will be where you are--we will be where the apocalypse is not

I have a huge stash of canned goods & paper products. I know how to shoot a gun. That's about all I got.

That will be huge. Metro areas--especially on the coasts--are screwed, pretty much no matter what type of apocalyptic event comes.  

 

Beyond that, rural areas will have distinct advantages, as well.  More food to distribute amongst the population that is left, arable land for when the rebuilding starts, etc....
