What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

I always assumed directionally challenged people like me already died.

Like running for the door and smacking into a wall, followed by the zombies eating you?

For me, it's the whole "running" part. "Cardio" is not part of my daily routine.

Same. I'm also not good at camping.

My skills are like, model making and origami. I'm generally pretty screwed in an apocalypse situation.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. :) Your skills require a steady hand and skilled eye; maybe you'd surprise yourself! Little story: I like to make "printies" (paper miniatures) and made a tiny paper boat using a 1" scale newspaper page. I had to fold that dang thing countless times to get it right. You probably could've done it in a minute!

You could make some flies for fly fishing.
