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).

I don't do that but I'm told that I'm fairly good at lovemaking.

Nice to know there will be others that will suffer once we're all 6-feet under. Well, if they ever bother themselves with the burying...

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.

I could cast the iron frame and make most all of the parts, I'd need plans or an example of the action, and I don't think I could easily make the machine to draw the wire, we'd have to get that store bought.

Maple Leaf Rag, Gladiolus, and Magnetic Rag are on your set list right?
