Default What skills could you bring to a "Survivors" scenario?

I once worked in a supermarket butchery department, so I'd know how to cut up pork chops. I don't know how easy/hard it is to kill a pig (or lamb) though.

i'm pretty sure i can gut, skin and clean any animal
As for killing them... my survival is more important than theirs

catching the little bastards is a different matter though!

killing lambs or sheep is easy enough, provided you have the right equipment. A stout pair of wellies and a blue-vein-thrombosis should just about do it, just sh@g the buggers to death.
I know that there is at least one person who posts here who is an expert, although its best to tread carefully as he can be a touch irritable

all tribes need

a chief
a hunter
a gatherer
a shaman
an axeman
a spearman
a fisherman
a dominatrix with baby oil and a whip

nowhere, nowhere
in the tribes manual, does it say anything about a nun

I think when it comes to survival, most people could chop up an animal to eat. They may not do it most efficiently or cleanly, but they would.
