One of my favorite Robert Heinlein quote:
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.

Summed up long ago by Robert A. Heinlein:

"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.

I think shoot and clean a gun should be #2...right after build a fire.

In the event of the breakdown of society, you all better know how to start a fire with a car battery and steel wool.

The only thing I missed on that list was driving a stick shift. I’ll also admit to being weak on remembering names.

40. Sew a Button onto Clothing – It sure is cheaper than buying a new shirt

Please tell me there aren't people who need to be told this. Do people really discard shirts because of a lost button??!!???

“How to use Google”.

I have a comment on this. A couple of months ago, I was using google to shop for real estate. I just put in an address, or clicked a location on the map, clicked “find nearby” and typed in “real estate”. It would list everything for sale near that map point.

Just tried it the other day, it no longer works. I wonder if they had some sort of conflict with one of their vendors or customers over that ability.

My point is - Google has a great product, but they aren’t in it to provide YOU information.

I sure hope this list is not intended as a survival guide. If so, we’re doomed.

How to give driving direction?

How to parallel park a car?

How to select good produce?

How to do a proper sit-up?

How to paint a room?

How to smile for a camera?

How to flirt properly?

How to sew a button?

How to remove a stain?

How to end a date?

No offense, but this could be the lamest list of important things to know how to do ever published.

Good stuff.

18. Give Driving Directions – Nobody likes driving around in circles. Get this one right the first time.

"Turn right a little ways before you run out of money. If you pass $15 Trillion in debt, you've gone too far. Oh, but you can't stop or turn around there; you just have to keep going until you go over the cliff. Then it won't matter."

Count me among the people that is sorely incompetent. (well, maybe lazy as I probably COULD do many).

Like the fistfight.. now get real.. why do a fist fight when you can take out your gun & not mess up your hair?

LOL

Thanks for posting this Diana

How to trap critters. With a couple of conibears or even some snare wire, you will never go hungry for long.
