I found it interesting that no one mentioned they were good with seeds, growing plants, planning a garden, etc. Must be a lot of city folks on this board. But, as Husker said, I won't be around anyway - one of the old and infirm who would go quickly.
I did! I can grow things!

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.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.
If I said I could make moonshine and chocolate, would that keep me around?

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

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....
