If there actually is some sort of global crisis, I will be more likely to stick with this

So what I'm going to try to do is learn one new skill every year that would still be useful after an apocalypse

Learn how to make gunpowder.

I'm going to re-watch the Gorn captain episode of Star Trek and take notes.

These kinds of things are a lot more fun to do when they aren't for a real job. Real jobs are hard work.

I recently took up knitting. I believe that this is a valuable post-apocalyptic skill. Technically, I should also learn how to spin wool in order for my skill to be completely useful. However, once I've learned that I will have comfortable socks, scarves, and sweaters while the rest of you are going around barefoot and wearing animal pelts.

I'd also like to learn more about wood carving. I have interest in hand tool based carpentry.

Yeah, some kind of sewing would be good, too. I will trade you some pottery for your fine knitted goods so I can upgrade from animal pelts.

I'm teaching myself how to fix cars this year. I am supa-psyched about it but damn is it cold for that sorta thing right now.

It would be a reasonable goal for me to learn to do anything beyond change the tires.
