I have some useful skills, but I don't have much in the way or proper tools or supplies stashed away. I'd have to acquire those things and then I'd probably be up to a 3-4 maybe. After that I'd have to flee the region I presently live in. It's just not meant to sustain human life. Moving away from this place and getting to the nearest area I know to be human friendly would probably push me up to a 2-3. Provided that the area isn't overrun by people trying to survive, I can probably make good and level out a solid 2 after a couple months, and reach 1 status within a year.Like (2)

Maybe I misinterpreted your question and believed you were talking about the end of civilization. If we're just talking about a basic market crash...hell I don't know. Not any more than I am now.

Not very, I would be in the 2/3 category, I have a lot of skills not related to the tech side, such as building, being able to smelt metal with back yard stuff, machine. Build a house, and a fireplace good skills overall beyond my 40 years as an electrical engineer. I can hold a 3 inch group at 300 yards, I do better if I can use a rest, and I have a daughter who can shoot circles around me. I know animals and I know how to hunt and how to prepare the meat, both the old fashioned way as well as current methods. I think me, my family and friends would be ok

Skill implies that you can do something that is quantifiable. Anything
that can be measured, would mean you are designated "screwee".
