Why Will You Survive?

OK so we all say that we will be prepared when Z-Day comes, we will survive the outbreak, and rebuild human civilization. What qualities, skills, and talents will help in this endeavor, are you a skilled with guns, do you know how to survive in the wilderness, are you a hunter, are you a great leader, etc, etc. Just put below what you think would allow yourself to overcome the obstacles Z-Day will present.

Ubernerd-
1: My brother went to jail for making bombs and he taught me a thing or two. I can make a functioning explosive.
2: I know several fighting styles to a moderate degree, in the case of raiders or enemy humans.
3: I've fired a gun before, although I'm not a really good shot, I'm decent, and I was given a few pointers by a longtime hunter.
4: Gore has no effect on me whatsoever. I could rip a Zed's intestines out if I was feeling adventurous.
5: I've been told I have a pretty quick wit, so I could improvise and make due easily. And I can keep my company in good spirits :)
6: I have won street fights against larger and stronger opponents because I know where to hit instead of just flailing around.
7: I'm a realist. I know that I probably won't stumble upon a hidden valley of lost survivors who happen to have 20 tonnes of food and a barricaded city, with many beautiful women to repopulate the human race.
8: I have a girl that I love completely. Protecting her would be a huge motivation, and if I failed, I would probably die emotionally and be quite useful as a survivalist robot.
9: I'm not a very religious person, but I have strong beliefs. That gives me a boost on the power of will.
10: I grew up in a small town in Maine. I can fish fairly well and know a few good, healthy plants that I could eat if I had to. My grandparents were avid farmers and had me help out with their crops so I can farm to a degree.
11: If I really had to, I could eat bugs to survive. They're quite nutritious, actually. I hear moths taste like colliflower, or however it's spelled.
12: I'm pretty quick on my feet.
13: I was abused to a degree as a child. I have relatively tough emotions and I can shut down my feelings when I need to.
14: I have ready access to swords, axes and a steel flair.
15: I have ready access to guns.
16: I don't have any diseases that I know of, except for the alcoholic gene thanks to my dad.
17: Like another said, I'm not racist or biased and I don't have a problem working with people of any background.
The only two major weaknesses I have are my bad neck and spine. The neck problems cause some pretty intense migraines, but the back hasn't acted up. Not yet anyway.



byates-
I am mentally and spiritually prepared to handle whatever is thrown at me. I have experience in improvising what I need and practice problem solving under stressful conditions. I am not tied to material things. I am skilled with weapons and hand tools. No allergies or addictions to interfere at an inconvenient time. I will take the time to solve problems without panicking.



Mercob-
I'd probably die trying to do something thats not really relevant, as in a necesity, but would help benefit whoever im with, thats the kind of person I am. I know how to shoot a gun but I have never shot one lol, besides an air rifle. I am physically fit but i do get puffed out after a good jog/run. I am very good with stressful scenarios like thinking up plans or strategies. I eat alot haha. Im not addicted to anything. I am very good with my hands as in building wise. I have a relatively good iq for my age, 128-129. I have good street smarts and common sense. All in all i'd probably die but would manage to help a bit before did... i'd probably give myself a few months at most lol :(

Anarae:
I'll survive.
  • My brain. I'm resourceful, fantastic at improv, and exercise "where there's a will, there's a way" frequently.
  • This body is young, physically fit. Also, I'm female, which is a plus when the war is over and the human race needs to procreate.
  • I keep things to a minimal. Quality over quantity.
  • I don't rely on strongholds or bases. They're nice places to go for a while, but they usually hold a lot of people. It only takes one idiot to fuck us all over.
  • I can detach myself emotionally. If you're bitten, I don't care if you're my enemy or my best friend, consider yourself dead. Unless I'm in a fight, in that case, consider yourself a human shield for the remainder of your existence.
  • I'm a light sleeper. Which is normally a pain in the ass, but in the case of an outbreak, it's a gift.

How about a little scenario 2 months after Z day.

You've been by yourself the whole time, and you walk up to a Community of survivors (think Land of the Dead): gated, walled, well guarded. Pretty much a permanent safe haven for the foreseeable future. But before you can join, you have to sell yourself on why they should take you. You say you can shoot, they have more than enough soldiers. You say you have tons of guns and gear, they say they can kill you and take them.

So...what do you know or can do that would let them take you in?

I would say
1. make breads (SOURDOUGH!!!)
2. make Cheeses
3. make Liquor and wine (I hate most beers)

Interested to see what skills you guys have.
