"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

I have a Jack of all trades mentality in my preperation for SHTF. I guess that comes from the fact that I am somewhat a Jack of all trades in my current situation. I have had experience in several areas that would be helpful. But I am not real good at too many things. I am confident that I could survive most situations for a certain length of time. True long term survival may require that I have some specific skills to offer if I need to join a group. It seems like most of the basic skills will be covered by one or more individuals. I am trying to think of a set of skills that is uncommon yet would be of great importance. I have been thinking that it would be wise to specialize and hone my skills in 1 or 2 specific areas.
