Abseiling
Climbing
Good Map Skills
Can Maintain, shoot, load and cock a F-88 Austeyr as well as load, cock and shoot a minimi

I've done first aid about 5 times so I'm sorted for that, including CPR obviously.

I have experience of driving large vehicles up to the size of a double decker bus.

Generally fit and able. I don't have the usual aversion to running that people my age seem to have.

I'm training as a counseller but frankly years off of the standard needed to deal with the aftermath of this shit, but I'd say I have a good basic grasp on human behaviour, including reactions to extreme situations.

I have a friendly and patient nature. Now I know that doesn't sound useful, but when everyone is going nuts, you're going to want a few nice people around.

I'm quite logical and rational (bit of a Mr Spock sometimes), key survival traits I reckon

So yeah, I'm the one that drives the armoured vehicle, so my odds of survival are very poor indeed.

I have 7 years of martial arts training.
A few months of personal training with parkour.
I can do almost anything in a survival manual,i have read 3 of them cover to cover.
I know how to use melee weapons of all sorts.
I can make bombs out of almost anything.[did you know the stuff in the cold packs in your freezer have ammonium nitrate in them?]
Im in pretty good shape,due to the small amount of phisical training i have been doing lately.
Im paranoid as hell!!
I have a decent grasp of military tactics.
Im sure im missing something,but this is all i can think of at the moment.

You three sound a hell of a lot more useful than most of the people in my area. It freaking figures you all live so damn far from here.

Melee weapons: Because there's nothing more satisfying than bashing in a zed cranium with your new best friend, Mr Crowbar™. (Product demonstration brought to you by nick47)

So how is all this topic relevant? I thought the question was how to Train for such a z-day event, not "anything you can do I can do better" conversation.

You obviously don't get how normal geeky conversation works.

All that needs to be said is this: FIRE = BAD

It depends on the tone of the answer and how far your tongue is stuck in your cheek.
