What’s Your Top Skill for SHTF Situations?

If you had to rely on just one skill when things go sideways, what would it be? For me, it's firecraft—being able to make fire under any condition seems like the foundation for survival. Curious what others see as their “must-have” skill.
 
Situational awareness is my top pick—not the flashiest skill, but catching subtle changes and noticing what’s off can really keep you ahead of trouble. Helps avoid danger before it even starts. Also, knowing a bit about natural remedies helps when supplies get low. Anyone else rely on gut feelings or find intuition surprisingly useful when things go wrong?
