  So here’s the question: If you had to survive what skills or abilities do you think you would have or be able to use to up your odds?

  Personally recent events…and common sense has proven to me that I’m not really built to survive strength based physical combat, but I am pretty confident that if needs must I could push myself beyond quite high levels of pain and damage to get to safety, so if I was forced into combat I’d fight like an SOB before i went down

  Also I have spent all my life in a very wild natural place, often going for long walks and even camping with and without a tent. My herbs and food know-how is limited but there is a base there that could be built on.

  I can swim and have experiance of cold water temp…though my skinny build makes me more susceptible to the cold.

  I’ve not fully learnt any…but I have looked at several martial arts that don’t demand power or strength, so if needs must perhaps I could figure out enough to give myself a minor skill advantage.

  Although not tested I am confident that I could make hard choices and do what must be done to survive. I doubt I’d be weak to panic or shock and although I would do as much as possible for self preservation I am also aware that cooperation is the real power of small groups of humans so i’d endeavour to support a solid team, and my tolerance and adaptability of mind would aid that.

  And I think thats about all the major skills I can come up with for now…so whats your survival list?

  Looking at my own if I were making a team I’d really be looking for someone physically strong, a decisive leader, a mechanic and most of all a medic.
