I've worked as a gas/diesel mechanic for 15 years. I've also worked for the city dept of public works fixing anything with a motor, such as weed wackers, chain saws, front end loaders, generators, street sweepers, concrete saws, dump trucks, plows, fork lifts, sanders and many many more. Basically, if it has a motor, I can fix it.

I'm fairly proficient at welding. I've done some basic metal fabrication. I've milled parts for engines that are no longer in production and are impossible to get. I've made custom hydraulic lines for front end loaders, and fabricated custom mounts for stuff like plows and winches.

I have a Class B CDL with Air Brakes and Tanker endorsements. I have my hydraulic operators license. I can basically drive anything such as box trucks, front end loaders, street sweepers, fork lifts, tanker trucks etc. Although I've never driven a tractor trailor, I'm sure I'd be able to figure it out fairly quickly.

I also print out every book I find online that I feel may be useful. I have a massive collection of printed books on subjects such as survival skills, herbal medicines, first responders guides, wilderness first aid, repair manuals and all sorts of military manuals.

When TSHF, and there's no electricity, you're not going to be able to google "How to fix a well pump", "How to treat a wound in the wilderness" or be able to access that .pdf file that's sitting in a folder on your desktop. Knowledge will become a huge bartering tool.

I'm really good at filing and record keeping. I have also been complimented on my penmanship.

I betcha you would make a nice secretary

 

[Tim94gt]

I'm what you would call a "Jack of all Trades"

I can do it all, the question is what are people willing to pay for it.

I prefer the term "administrative assistant" .

I can help you with spelling, captalization and punctuation. My kitchen sink pipes are leaking and I'm clueless.

[Ray-500]

i can build a house, barn, shed, whatever with early 19th century hand tools.

Grin, cannot do any of that. Guess my lot in life would have to be that of a Marshall or Sheriff. Would be my job to see that the builders can build, the farmers can farm, the ranchers could raise their stock....and in the meantime, the dregs would need to be dealt with. Unlike today.

LOL. A HS buddy actually had tickets and got to Woodstock. He was thirsty so when someone offered some orange juice, he drank it. And that's the last thing he remembers about the weekend.....

I'm reminded tonight that I will NOT be a professional present wrapper in the post apocalyptic world. Need more Scotch.

 

[CambridgeGuy]

I can hold dry ice and not get burned. It just feels like regular ice to me....

 

[upStomp]

I'm in business intelligence, so I might be able to calculate the best caliber to use against zombies through statistical analysis. That, and I can throw old boxes of SQL Server software really far and with extreme accuracy.

 

[F-Bobby]

Well I was an automechanic for 7 years before I got laid off. I can fix pretty much anything when it comes to cars, GM specifically, but I know my way around the other car companies too.
I'm also a pretty good driver.

Lastly I can play Call of Duty and Halo like a pro. If getting food requires me to Pwn some noob in a 1v1 match. Well I'll make sure I save some for the rest of you.

 

[FPrice]

I prefer the term "administrative assistant" .

That's what you call a secretary who does not have good legs.

 

[Kicker96FS]

I work with machines, I modify, rebuild, even invent (I have a patent) I love working with metal. I weld, cut, braze, solder, machine on the lathe and milling machine. I am also not too shabby with wood, I have built some nice stuff.

Plumbing, electrical, PLC's.

I use to love working on cars but now I can't stand them. Maybe I could do a restore on a 70 Hemi Cuda, yeah, I could do that.
