“Change a diaper”
WTF does this have to do with “Popular Mechanics”?
The art of the fold?
At least there are pressure forces at work when you perform the Heimlich Maneuver.

I have replaced a hard drive in my laptop. What did you do with your old hard drive? Did you destroy it sufficiently that it would take the NSA to recover some of it?

Next issue will be updated to include instructions on how to field-dress a moose. The only requirement is that you be able to field dress a moose better than your wife. I think Todd has that one covered...

I USED to do much of that list.
But after being run over by an ILLIGAL alien I have lost a lot of my memory on how to a lot of these things... ;>(

Did you destroy it sufficiently that it would take the NSA to recover some of it? My last hard drive, I drilled through the platters and hammered them until they were bent. Will that do?

How about Organize a Community? What type of man are you if you cant organize a community?
Military Know-How 48. Shine shoes 49. Make a drum-tight bed 50. Drop and give the perfect pushup
I would put shooting and hand to hand combat a little higher than making a drum-tight bed.

98 out of 100 aint bad.
Not too big on snake bites or rip tides in Minnesota but I think I read somewhere the southern part of the State does have rattlers.
I'll be doing #17 this afternoon. Have 5 gallons to bottle up.

To: gridlock
That should keep 99.99% of the people from doing anything with it. I don't know what the military does to get rid of one. The last one I destroyed I took it apart to its platters and then ran an orbital sander over their surfaces, but it had a lot of other people's financial information on them from a business so I wanted it destroyed.

My last hard drive, I drilled through the platters and hammered them until they were bent. Will that do?When I was in the Air Force, we were supposed to take a belt sander to the disk (we're talking 10-12 inch disks and a 40-pound portable sander with 80-grit paper). The lights would dim when you hit the trigger. That'd probably do it, too.
