Ok this is kind of a poll. What survival skills would you say we all need?
-
Survival skills in everyday life as well as in an emergency/disaster? What are some trades or skill will we will need that are almost extinct or are extinct if our modern society takes a step back in time? Like no electricity? You get the idea. Who would you expect to survive and who would be the first to not make it?

Answer:
Know what is happening around you at all times when in public. Focus on your mission but pay attention to what is happening around you. Be courteous, a smile will make you feel better. Dress accordingly for weather and safety. Look both ways left then right and left again before crossing the street. Know CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver. Be careful when in isolated places, always plan an escape and carry a form of defense if you mandate. Do not talk on the phone but for security reasons as your attention will be compromised. It is nice to be helpful but, exercise caution as it could be a set up. Know how to change a tire yourself just in case. In your car carry a gas can, a bottle of water or so, a towel and change of clothes. A blanket, jacket and umbrella are helpful and perhaps some trail mix or rations. A spare tire and canned air for a flat. Jumper cables could come in handy. A first aid kit and flash light should be considered. Practice skills on how to survive without provisions on your own. At home keep some aspirin, a thermometer, flashlights, candles and matches. An emergency radio is good to have. Do not open the door for people you don't know if you don't have security means. Provide yourself with some means of defense even if it's just a baseball bat or mace. Have it in a convenient place. Keep your doors locked. Know the address of where you are at all times so you can call for help if you need. Think of safety when doing jobs. You only get two hands and two eyes. Pay attention to caution, warning and danger signs and labels. Know what an alert label is. Learn to swim and how to escape from a submerged vehicle. Last but not least USE COMMON SENSE. edit: Learn what to do in the event of a fire and how to escape. Designate a rally area in the event of fire, natural disaster, or split up with others you know. Eat in moderation, be sure to exercise or physically work.

Good physical health is probably the single most important. If you are a flabby couch potato your survival is greatly reduced no matter what. Knowledge of the world around you. The more general information you have about things and how they work the better off you always will be. hunting, trapping, cooking, and so on are all needed. Self defense and strategy Weapons of all sorts. Medical knowledge and the list goes on.
