In a survival situation, people of limited skill sets typically don't thrive. All of the roles you've described in the initial scenario, I am capable of performing, and then some. I would do it all. Anything I overproduced, I would trade with others.
Specialization is for insects.
This is the correct answer. In the hundreds of thousands of years that modern homo sapiens has been in existence, most was spent not cultivating specialized skills but rather being as well-rounded as possible for the sake of the survival of yourself and your family.
Specialization is a by-product of agriculture and urbanism, not survival in a true wilderness.
