Apocalypse Skills

Apocalypse Skills are those skills which might be useful in some as-yet unspecified hyper-disaster. Since the nature and scale of the impending troubles are unknown, it is useless to put together any training program. However, here are a few basic categories of activity that may serve as a bit of a checklist for those who plan to survive the end-times. I have provided some examples, feel free to add your own. This could turn into some sort of ridiculous Dungeons and Dragons-themed joke, who knows?

Some specific abilities may overlap between categories, making them attractive ones to gain! That said, the categories are arbitrary, as are the examples, and somehow this doesn't capture the value of being familiar with a wide range of topics, which might increase survival odds over those of the general rubes.
