What is your post apocalyptic talent?
I can bake bread

That talent might come in handy in a world with no electricity. Otherwise, I'm pretty useless.
I'm faster on a keyboard
Also, a pre-existing top-secret clearance. It's a shame that shorthand is a dead (or dying) art.
I started practising again and it's coming back. There is a real beauty to it, IMO.

Wish you were my neighbor. 
My greenhouse is filled with starts, and whenever I have to go to town I come back with a truckload of compost.
I say, that's totally unfair to me. You bein' erudite and all.
...very clever.
or leave instructions I'm worried about that too, plunging into Dark Ages because of a break in the continuity of generations

We don’t think that there’s anything wrong with killing a wild hog, btw. They are a menace. They’re naturally mean, and they are more dangerous than anything else that you can find in our woods and swamps (including cottonmouths, rattlers, bears, and gators). Wild hog is the worst.
So, here’s what you do. You dig a hole about 4 feet deep. You wrap up the hog in chicken wire (so as it doesn't explode), and then you lob the hog in the hole. You cover it with dirt. You collect all the loose wood you can, build a bonfire, and, at sundown, you light that bad boy up. Then, you sit around the fire with your friends and drink beer while somebody is blasting country music (or southern rock) from the truck that they have parked nearby. You get a little drunk and have a good time imagining what that hog is gonna taste like when you dig it up.
Next day, in the afternoon, you dig up the hog. Then you skin it, save the brains, eyeballs, and all the tender innards for Brunswick Stew (I don’t eat Brunswick Stew, btw), and then you separate all the meat from the bones. That hog meat is normally tough as shoe leather, but it will fall off the bone if it’s cooked properly—slow, high heat, with 2-3 feet of dirt between it and the fire, so the hog doesn’t burn.
Then you eat it—however you want to. Right now, I could go for a barbecue sandwich which, as any civilized person knows, is made from pork, not beef.
I have other skills, but this one might prove to be most useful in an apocalypse.

Which might be a better ability than cooking it I read that in Tx you don't need a license to hunt and kill feral/wild hogs. I told my son-in-law in case he and his relatives wanted to take a hunting trip.
And yes, I can kill them, but it takes a pretty powerful weapon to do it. A little .22 shot is just going to tick it off.

But the thin, vinegar/mustard-based sauce is a must.

I've spent most of my working life in bookshops.
Maybe someone with some administrative experience and greater drive would be better for the top job.
It worked on me.

There's going to be a massive surge of stuff that needs fixing after this disaster.
Now if I can just figure out how to put some lead in this fancy pencil.......
it's also my only survival skill.
darn socks
No end of talent on DU
I’m good at lists 
Besides being an actor, I can make any number of necessary, useful items.
I do blacksmithing, and make high-quality knives. Before you ask about steel...I have smelted it using primitive methods and local materials.
Need shoes and clothing? This Hungarian will kit you out! Tan hides, too.
Where to get a hunting rifle to obtain those hides? Right over here, flintlock coming right up! Oh, yeah, and when the gun humpers burn through all their modern ammunition? Your Humble can whomp up some smelly old black powder.I
Start a fire, build shelter, cool a meal, make soap?
Heck, I'd be voivode in no time!
We have so many talents in common
But thats only helpful after shit has calmed down. During a revolution or zombie apocalypse I'd be toast, I have terrible eyesight, am old and overweight and am slow. I do have perseverance & patience and can walk quite a ways, so maybe it wouldn't be as bad as I fear.
