A person skilled at trading would be key to the rebuilding of society. Many lone-wolves would not create a "civilisation" as by definition they would be alone, and not breeding, and thus the human race would end.
It is the trader, the deal maker, the person with multiple skills, that will survive the best. Adding business skills to your list would be of huge benefit when dealing with another group of people, and when negotiation various deals to grow a society where people work together. Even the Armish system requires people to work together in a multiplicital deal...someone had to originally build the terms of that agreement.
Don't get caught into the trap of thinking because a person has 1 skill, it doesn't mean that is the only skill they have.
I agree with you Scythe..............I think? a trader would not only trade goods he could also take the news and gossip from one settlement to another. settlements will need people will different skills, butcher, baker, blacksmith, wheelright, builder, gardener, cooks etc.etc.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
