Guest Post: What Will YOU Bring to the Table After the Apocalypse?
by Electa Morrow
After the apocalypse, having people around with specific skills will be a necessity as well as a bonus.
A person with mechanical skills or just "fix it" skills in general can make living in the post apocalypse a much easier feat. Finding a broken down vehicle, whether it be as simple as a dead battery or as difficult as a blown transmission; and knowing that someone in your group can have it fixed and you on your way is reassuring and up lifting.
A person with medical skills is probably the next best thing to have (if not the best). Mistakes happen, accidents happen, and people get hurt and sick. Knowing that someone in your group knows how to stitch up a gash and clean a wound to prevent infection is incredibly useful in an apocalyptic situation.
I would say a hunter would be helpful, however; everyone in the group should be able to hunt for food.
A person with innovative building skills is an important factor to consider. You don't know where you'll be sleeping all of the time and having someone that can build a shelter out of any surroundings will come in handy.
An "engineer" would be handy to have around for all intents and purposes. A water purification system would go a long way in a post-apocalyptic world. And there's no telling what else a person with those kinds of skills could come up with.
A person with farming skills such as growing edible plants, and being able to identify edible plants wouldn't hurt either.
And last, but not least; a group "mom" that can keep morale up and be the caregiver or the "heart" of the group is always a good idea. She/he will keep people knowing that they're going to make it and give the group the will to keep moving and living.
As well; all of these abilities/skills should be able to be taught or passed down.
