I hunt and grow a mean garden, but i wonder myself how the garden would go with out the deisel to run Mr. New Holland around. I can promise you the garden would be a lot smaller.

Okay...let's expand this thing a little....

You are in a group consisting of five people, including yourself (otherwise known as a squad). Let's pretend that all of your members also have the quintessential American family in-tow (man, woman, 2.4 kids). All of your members are self-sufficient, and nobody is considered to be a burden on the company.

What four individual MASTER LEVEL skills would you prefer your cadre possess?

Me: Logistics.
Member #2: Intel gatherer/scout.
Member #3: Commo spec.
Member #4: Field expedient engineer (McGuyver/Wrench-Head).
Member #5: Farming/gardening spec.

I'd like a medic in there somewhere.

Well, because I am a medic, I figured it was redundant for MY specific party. But I agree that everyone should have, at the very least an EMT-Basic-trained individual in their party....If you'd like to become an EMT-B, it's not very expensive, and the skills are quite common-sense and easy to learn.

I took my first EMT course after joining a VFD, and they paid for my schooling and testing...all I had to do was maintain a 3.5 GPA or better. Trust me...the course is so freaking interesting, you'll have no problem at all maintaining attention, a 3.5 GPA or better, and passing your practical exams w/flying colors (if you can overcome the nerves).

If you're serious, you can add this skill to your dossier very easily, in about 3 months of 2 night classes per week.

I'd want a medic in there too.

My five, other then me

1. Chemist
2. Dentist (more versatile then a Dr. They had to go to Med school too)
3. Lutheran Minister (Every one I have met has 2 Doctorates, One in Religion and one in something else. Mine has a Sociology Doctorate)
4. Mechanical Engineer
5. Farmer/Rancher/Critter expert

If I could add another I would like to add a guy I saw on the Discovery Channel. This guy went out, found rocks, smelted them and make various iron and metal impliments. He went a few steps beyond being a blacksmith and used wood to melt his metal the old traditional way. He even made gun barells.

Good thoughts.....sometimes the rudimentary skills are overlooked, and some are even taken for granted......

Given this scenerio, I'd probably fit more into #4. The ability to convert a mass of items which no longer function individually and combine the workings of such items to form one large concoction is fun and relatively simple for me.

Watch it...you might get recruited...

LMAO.......Yeah, but can you fix anything?

Awesome! Every birth of a new civilization needs a demolitionist. Destroy that which once was, turn it into raw material for others to make it what it will become.
