#1: Ability to spot the most capable person in a crowd and stick with him/her.
I can agree with a lot on that list but I think you guys are going too far back to basics. If there is an apocalypse there is going to be a lot of infrastructure left behind. You are going to want to know how to make it work and either repair it or adapt it (think of the Mad Max trilogy).
1. Medicine/First Aid
2. Hunting, Fishing and Trapping
3. Foraging/Plant lore
4. Preserving food
5. Basic construction and engineering skills (including rope work, framing, etc.)
6. Mechanical skill (repairing engines and machines)
7. Power generation (any form from fossil fuels to wind and water).
8. Weapons and tactics.
