Skills Every Man Should Know?
Posted on 05/02/2014 8:59:22 PM PDT by MNDude
Today a young guy at the office got a flat tire. A bunch of young guys gathered around in the parking lot and I was amazed how none knew how to change a flat.
I commented this had to be one of the top things all men should know.
What would be some of the things you would include on a list that all men should know how to do? (Like change oil, etc)

I'm not surprised.
I went as far as to teach my son how to use tire irons and replace tires in the driveway.

I can change a tire but just about every time I’ve needed to, a man has stopped to help. Which means he takes over, and I offer him some baby wipes when he’s done.
This is a thank you to you men out there.

Shooting pretty much comes right after breathing on the list of things to master.
After that, pretty much whatever you do, learn to do it well. Learn also how to maintain your tools and machines.
They last longer that way, and your not beholden to others for taking care of your...stuff.
