Heh, I thought "A Boy and His Dog" was an OK movie, I actually read the short story probably 20 years ago. Seemed like a good post-apocalypse" read when I was a teenager, and Mom and Dad didn't mind so much that I watched movies like that and "A Clockwork Orange" if I read the books as well...
As for survival skills, remember that everyone is an expert at something, and everyone is ignorant about something, it just depends on what you've learned. This is why people are social creatures and being part of a group is so important in the situations we speculate about in games like Twiligh: 20XX. Being part of a group allows everyone in the group to share the expertise, while minimising the impact of the ignorance.
