Skills Everyone Should Have

[HungarianGypsy]

No, I am not going to tell you. But, I will ask. When it gets hotter than an oven in Arizona, it's time to think of ways to keep the mind occupied, since the body is likely to fry up like a prune if it steps outside.

While I have seen lists all over of what skills everyone should have. Things from basic survivalism, shooting a gun (maybe that wasn't from a list and I just want to do that one), being able to discuss current events, changing s tire, etc. Which skills should every man and/or woman know?

[HungarianGypsy]

Post your thoughts! Sometimes we do need a break from the headaches of the world.

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." Robert Heinlein

butcher a hog (nope),
conn a ship (nope),
