I think the best survival skills would be the ability to hunt and forage, to know what you could eat. Also, mechanical and electrical skills would be essential to operate what machinery was left. A good knowledge of science for using equipment and navigation would also be crucial. Who knows how to use a ham radio??? I don't.

I've killed birds and small mammals before with rocks and traps while camping (not that I'm proud of it, I was a stupid kid and I feel really bad about it all the time).

The main thing for survival is to have the neccessary tools. Without tools, you are pretty much helpless trying to live off the land if you have no prior experience. I've lived homeless when broke in Europe for a few days, I've slept in parks, I don't mind roughing it. I don't really need much of anything I suppose. Just some tools. Tools! I gots to have em!
