Hank Williams Jr. had a song years ago called “A Country Boy can Survive”. There’s a lot of truth in that. Folks used to pass down things like canning, building, gardening, sewing and tuning up your car. I grew up learning things. I am afraid it’s all a lost art. I actually feel sorry for kids today.

You own it for ever as long as you live and it may save you and folks you care about lives.
