Assuming I don't immediately die (honestly would hope I did in that situation) I am very stubborn and would probably persist.

I have been into programming and electronics for almost my whole life (assuming I had any way to power them), love cooking, ferment and can foods all the time and have a good sized garden and a big grow tent with mushrooms in it. I also have several fish tanks with plants so I'm sure I could rig up some aquaponics system. And my wife is a nurse so I'm always learning a lot from her. Even built a backyard mini forge and kiln once because I was bored.

Just don't make me kill any animals and I think I'll be ok (unless the animals were injured and needed to be put down or in self defense). If someone else did all the hunting I'd happily do the butchering, though.

I shall hunt for our community, and you can handle the butchering. I will help you harvest our vegetables that you grow.

I have zero remorse and can shut down empathy

Useful! When we need to eject someone for being a selfish, net-receiver or shoot a person dead because they got bit 60 seconds ago; I'll have someone in agreement.

Being naturally avoidant of other people. It's always other people who pose the greatest danger in these situations.

Nice try skynet.

I have a lot of water purification capability. And a couple of guns and a little ammo. Hell yeah I'll eat whatever critters come my way if I need to. Hunting rules go out the window when all of society is starving. We'll manage to kill off all of the animals on earth at this rate. Funny thing is, governments are mostly to blame. It wouldn't be a problem except they're all greedy as fuck. The people and the earth pay the price.

Moxie and a can-do attitude

Gallows humor and wisecracks, mostly.

I'm large. Good for blocking entrances and creating uneven terrain. I'm a nurse too, but all that lets me do is tell you "that's not normal" and "that's not compatible with life."

I'm exceptionally charismatic and can become friends with literally everyone.

That's a useful talent even pre-apoc.

I've done some stand up and I am willing to hurt myself for others amusement. I am probably going to end up some warlords court jester.

I really don't get people who watch Mad Max movies and think they're going to be Auntie or Immortan Joe (as if they ended up doing so well themselves anyway). And even if you are, who wants to be king of a pile of shit?

Makes no sense to me.

That's an awful skill. +1 zombies to worry about? An extra corpse to get rid of? Please don't. Get a useful hobby instead. Gardening, carpentry, chemical engineering, knitting - all much more useful for survival.

I'm a master of telling bad puns.
