All of them. Though I would probably put situational awareness first. They'll probably fall into a pit, or walk right into the jaws of a predatory animal, long before they ever realize they need to make a fire or look for water. I'm sure kidnappers have it easy these days when looking for clueless victims. They are everywhere. Dan
PS. There were also a couple of examples from the Shanghai Daily that were too graphic for me to post.

Probably can sum it up with using their brain rather than their thumbs! Also sure hope they don't have to make change after the apocalypse!!! Terry |

At least the zombies won't come after these guys…nothing to eat. That lady who walked into the fountain tried to sue the mall for negligence. They gladly called her in to "settle". When she got there the cops were waiting. She had been stealing and using the credit cards of others. Stupid does and should hurt. |

Zombies don't respect safe spaces. |

@Irish Marine
Maybe the signs they put up for the spaces need to be bigger, more conspicuous, so that even a zombie can read them? Perhaps in multiple languages? :) @CloudCaptain
LOL. Now THAT'S a story with a proper ending! I love it. Dan |

I suppose the skill of using a firearm (with just 8 votes) would not be a good idea given recent events in Florida and Texas. |

Where my brother's family lives the firearms and hunting skills would be better than the fishing. At least until the deer that hang out all over town got gunshy. Five miles to the river, a bit further to a significant reservoir (the one across the street from their house is about a hundred feet across). Of course the nieces and nephew do know how and enjoy fishing as well as hunting. And they all played (play) with matches enough to be quite comfortable with starting fires… The situational awareness is a concern. |

28mm Fanatik: "I suppose the skill of using a firearm (with just 8 votes) would not be a good idea given recent events in Florida and Texas." Well, after all the ammo runs out they sure better have something else to defend themselves, and also the skills to use that backup tool. Dan |

>>I suppose the skill of using a firearm (with just 8 votes) would not be a good idea given recent events in Florida and Texas.<< Huh?? Why?? The exact opposite should be true. |

Shadow My thought exactly. I gave him the benefit of the doubt hoping he had made a typo and not posted some kind of bait. :) Dan |
