It's the most important survival skill. (In a country with 300 million people.)

True. There are plenty of people with the power to kill and and steal. People who can actually do stuff need to survive the so-called survivalists.

I can make a decent cup of tea. Which is all that matters, really.

I have vast fat reserves.
And I'm willing to blow anyone who feeds me. In a survival of the fittest way I mean, not any general waiting staff. Oh and I know Wolf. So as long as I'm Stateside when the sky falls I think I'm covered.

I have the basics for growing food, raising cattle and harvesting/kiling it.
Same with fishing, in need of a refresh about hunting. Not very good about starting a fire without matches/lighter but I've done it a few times. I know how to cook even on open fires. I've a correct knowledge of non-powered tools. I've a fair knowledge about first aid and CPR and had to put it in practice. Not bad at forecasting weather in my area, usually correct 7 times out of 10. I can sew but not well. No knitting or other similar knowledge. Fair knowledge about blades, bows, crossbows(prefered) and firearms (use, storage, maintenance). Quote:

I can take control in a situation and organize others. I will lead as two kings

I'm hazy about the two Kings thing.
I know Two Princes... This one wants to give me flowers, this one wants to talk for hours.

If you ply me with enough whiskey, I can play saloon-style ragtime piano.
Anyone here know how to make a piano from scratch?

If you have enough scratch, you can just buy a piano.

No end-of-the-world skillz needed here. When the modern drugs go, so do I.
I don't think about it too much as I consider an end-of-civilization scenario possible, but highly unlikely.
