Skills Needed in a Survival Group

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:

1. Perimeter Security
2. Plant Identification
3. Gardening Skills (includes winter gardening, herbs)
4. Butchering Skills (includes salting, smoking and curing meat)
5. Food Preservation (canning, drying, dehydrating, smoking, grains)
6. Raising Livestock (Chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, pigs)
7. Hunting/Fishing
8. Medical Skills/Dental Skills
9. Electrical Knowledge
10. Carpentry
11. Plumbing
12. Welding
13. Sign Language
14. Mechanical Skills (cars, appliances, lawn equipment etc.)
15. HAM Radio Skills
16. Bee Keeping
17. Candle Making
18. Sewing Skills (Clothes & Blankets)
19. Soap Making
20. Shoe Making
21. Baking Bread
22. Churning Butter
23. Charcoal Making
24. Martial Arts
25. Marksmanship/Weapons
26. Brick Making
27. 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.
