yup, this would be a great skill. I bought a lock-pick set off the internet recently (about €20) and watched a few videos on youtube .... then tried it evening after evening on a few padlocks while watching the tv ... got the hang of the principal, but cant say i am any good at it. Still, a great skill to have, and not overtly illegal as there are many reasons to need to be able to do this.

PS the lock pick kit includes a broken-key-extractor tool ! Very handy when a key gets brokne while inside the lock!

Lockpick kit, pshaw, I have size12 boots, all the lockpicking I need.

Hotwiring a car is handy to know tho

But kicking down that door could alert all the nearby Zs to the fact that you and your size 12s are good eating, and you'll be in a room with a broken door

Besides, I'm a size 5, so I have to go with brains over brawn

Proably the most important one,maybe even bfore fire.Without clean water you will be pretty sick or dead,even before the Z's decide to lunch on you.

Well I live in rural ireland so I don't expect there to be too long a wait for some rain

While the access to water is prob the highest priority, I would still rate fire-starting its pratical equal, as with fire you can boil the water to remove germs / pathogens / bacteria etc. So ability to start fire should come first.

Proper filtration / cleaning of water could be done as the next survival class? How effective is UV cleaning? Can I make my own chemical cleaning solutions? How long will water be ok in sealed bottles from shops etc?
