What is your post-apocalyptic occupation?

Nothing that involves running or fighting. We'd die.
I'd be the cook. I'm good at making edible meals from random shite ingredients.

When a teenager I had always planned to send any future kids to a Steiner school. Feel bad now I let my actual children miss out on useful skills for the zombie apocalypse!😂

I’m a Steinerite too @peaceanddove and was never shown how to milk a goat. I feel cheated!

I could be a bard or Keeper of Tales as I'm a storyteller already, and I have good carpentry/fire making/den building/foraging skills from years in Scouting and guiding.
I know where all the good local fruit trees are, and how to rustle up a decent meal from whatever is available.
I have a lot of tools and can mend things that are broken, and have great sewing skills.
I think post-apocalypse could be my time to shine.

I'd be screwed :( I work in tech/IT and I assume no need for SW developers then!

Thanks to my (frankly) bonkers Bohemian Steiner school education I know how to milk a goat, properly build a bonfire and construct a temporary shelter - all quite useful? My ability to write in Sanskrit and perform Eurythmy, not so much...?

DH is a crack shot (clay pigeon shooting etc) which would come in handy.

I can pluck a pheasant & on a good day could have shot it. Am brave enough to go out on a gin and cigarette run for bartering ( 10% commission in kind )

Otherwise a jack of all trades ( can I join ? )

I am good at hiding and am also a crack shot. So I would like to volunteer for sniper duty, hunting, spying and knitting. I can also forage a bit and bake.

I am good at fixing things so that they work again but don't look beautiful, which I think people will care about the aesthetic less. I'm also good at making tools for things, like when I'm cooking if I don't have the right tool I'll make one. I'm brilliant at untangling messes, like when you have 10 different phone cords all muddled together. I'm generally good at those kind of jobs, which other people find boring but which I'm really happy to take a while, take things apart really slowly, and put them right. It brings my joy.

I am a good first aider and also know quite a lot about health conditions and Medications, I don't work in healthcare but I know I could do some basics like administering medications and finding alternatives, stitching up wounds, lancing abscesses, pulling teeth, and diagnosing and treating skin infections and parasites. I would probably be some kind of healer as I also am good with food and herbs and things like that. I have a really good memory for stuff like that. I wouldn't always get it right, but nobody would be walking around with vitamin deficiencies at least.

I am pretty good at cooking and can make food out of weird ingredients that tastes great. I know how to make lots of quick breads and can have learnt to cook outside and make a fire too. Also other skills like that like building a shelter, finding water, foraging etc. I wouldn't have a problem killing fish or meat. I'm fortunate not to have to but I know I could do it in a moment if I needed to. So everyone would be well fed.

I'm also good in a crisis and can think on my feet and am good at strategising, especially if I have other people to bounce ideas off. I do worry that nobody would listen to me though, as it's only when people bother listen to me they realise I know my shit. They always seem surprised I am capable anyway so I must give off vibes like I'm really stupid until they listen properly.

I can catch and kill rats and have my own collapsible rat traps. They're also big enough to catch rabbits if you fancy a change from rat.

A life as a field ecologist has left me resourceful and impervious to most weather conditions. I can also knit socks, though I see that has been pretty comprehensively covered by PPs

I'm very good with animals, can shoot a gun pretty accurately, can crochet, knit and sew fairly well. I'm also really good at making half decent meals out of whatever old shite is left in the cupboards at the end of the week so I suppose that might be handy!

I have loads of medical knowledge, can definitely do a skin graft, can do most minor surgeries etc.

Can do plaster of paris and other splinting for broken bones etc; can tape sprains, can relocate dislocated joints.

Have loads of herbal remedy knowledge, and can find the right medications for things in a pharmacy - and I have hard copy of the BNF (from 1992). Also a Grays anatomy and loads of other such books.

I'm not a qualified doctor, but in an apocalypse, beggars can't be choosers.

i can knock up a meal out of any old shite.

I’m imagining my post apocalyptic life to be one long episode of Ready, Steady, Cook.

Well when you put it like that @RainbowCrossing.... : )

Sewing, knitting and making explosives.

I've thought about this before!

I can grow fruit and vegetables, we keep chickens and bees, my Dad can fish and shoot. My DH and I can both cook and make things like jam, pickles, cider and wine. I can also knit and my DH is good at fixing things and building things out of wood.

I like to think we would be quite highly prized!!

Personally, I suspect that the apocalyptic event will get me. 😂

I’m good at growing things, making lists, shooting far away things (I’m too squeamish to kill things but if you need a tin can knocking over I’m your woman ).

probably medic/herbalist as I have studied pharmacognosy(study of meds derived from plants)

I’m very organised so I could do a lot of getting the community in shape, that sort of thing. Checking on stocks and supplies.

I’ve also seen every episode of greys anatomy at least twice so could make a passable assistant medic if things were particularly bad.
