Do you know what skill sets you have accumulated within your survival family? Think about it for a minute. What does each person bring to the survival group that is beneficial and needed in some way or another?
These are thoughts that have been in my mind for a few weeks now. So I sat down and did some research and put together a list of skill sets that are almost a must have for any group. One of the great things about this list is you can mark off what you have mastered and pick something else to work on. In doing this you become multi-beneficial to the group which is fantastic. Not only would you have the skill sets but you can teach the children.
Below are a few things to consider adding to your group or personal skills:
- Perimeter Security
- Plant Identification
- Gardening Skills (includes winter gardening, herbs)
- Butchering Skills (includes salting, smoking and curing meat)
- Food Preservation (canning, drying, dehydrating, smoking, grains)
- Raising Livestock (Chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, pigs)
- Hunting/Fishing
- Medical Skills/Dental Skills
- Electrical Knowledge
- Carpentry
- Plumbing
- Welding
- Sign Language
- Mechanical Skills (cars, appliances, lawn equipment etc.)
- HAM Radio Skills
- Bee Keeping
- Candle Making
- Sewing Skills (Clothes & Blankets)
- Soap Making
- Shoe Making
- Baking Bread
- Churning Butter
- Charcoal Making
- Martial Arts
- Marksmanship/Weapons
- Brick Making
- Tool Making
These are the things I can think of and some I found doing research. I hope this helps you out and please feel free to comment on what you would add.
