Unfortunately, most of the skills that I can resent if Civilization falls
go into the basics of setting up a relatively efficient and sanitary
system of organization and of course my military skills. Basically, I
have all the modern knowledge to support what the Romans knew
about setting up a camp, town or city, and having been the equivalent
of at least a Decurion to lower Centurion. Unfortunately my current
medical problems would limit the amount of time I would have to
apply them unless I get real lucky. As to what I can provide, I am
probably one of the best armed members of the list with at least one
knife that Bothari would love sitting on my desk and plenty of stuff
that's a lot more fun locked in the gun cabinet. Not to mention swords
maces, etc., and I KNOW how to use them, ant to teach their usage.
