Hahaha, Denver is...well...out of my comfort zone. Plus I don't think my wife would allow him (we can't have him latching on to the legs of people when we have company)! I'll take the goat though...

If the SHTF, what skill/knowledge would you have that would make you a valuable asset to your community/family?
I ask this because I would like to know what skills I am lacking that I haven't thought about yet. I work in water treatment. I know how to get water and purify it by a couple of different means. That would be my go to skill. I also enjoy gardening, have a big lot in a small town with many fruit trees/bushes and quite a lot of heirloom seeds.
I know the one place I am lacking is in hunting. I am working to fix that.
What about you? What is your main skill that would help a community/your family survive if TSHTF?

LOL. Dozens of times. Students have to kill, skin, and eat a rabbit as part of the survival course. Eating the eyeball was part of the process. The idea was to reduce a student's food adversions. There is a lot of nutrition to be gathered out in the wild, but social standards in the west make much protein sources "distasteful." You need to be willing to eat insects, grubs, etc.
