What skills do you have that make you valuable post-shtf?

I figure tobacco for more barter than personal use. And who knows, you might get a premium if you pre roll them for your customers.

I can make lead projectiles and reload for 9mm, 45acp, 308, and 30-30. Should be able to sell/barter and get by.

My great grandfather grew his own tobacco here on the farm back in the day. Some for his personal use and some he sold.

From what I have read, tobacco isn't the easiest crop to grow either. But in a SHTF event, it could be a very valuable commodity just like alcohol.

Growing weed would handle 2 birds with one stone, besides my yard proves weeds are very easy grow!

This is basically what I aspire to be in my old age.

Your aspirations are quite realistic! I get crankier and grumpier the older I get.

Trust me, they are not over-rated! People leave grumpy old people alone. And for the most part, I don't like most people!

But you dog got knocked up. If she had only practiced safe sex. I admit it can be dangerous getting a dog to stop long enough to put a condom on him, but there are consequences as you see in your back yard.

I'm a computer nerd & EE by schooling and trade. That'll probably be useful.
Also a bit of a jack of all trades, DIY sort of person as much as I can be. Work on my own cars, house, that sort of thing.
I'm also probably the perfect chubby for a good BBQ if we go all Donner Pass on this bitch.

IF there ever was a SHTF event, the more skills a person has, increases their odds of surviving. If a group of people have decided to band together to ensure survival, the more skills a person has could make them more valuable to that community.

Not gonna touch it. Your chubby or the multitude of jokes it begs forin response.
