I am woefully inadequate in much of what you guys have posted, so just go ahead and write me off as useless. I confess to being a city boy of the fairly modern age who is squeamish and never hunted. (I'm not too bad a pistol shot, though....) flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

I saw this list many years ago. Many on the list have already been covered. But some are really good skills to have: https://www.artofmanliness.com...ery-man-should-know/ i.e. #48 Perform the Fireman's Carry | |||
|
| Avoiding slam fires  |
That is quite a list,there are four I can't or have not done. 51 the language thing. 70 play a song on a guitar. 72 squat with weights,never had time to body build,I was always working for a living. 76 whistle with fingers in mouth. | |||

This is the first list in this thread with which I have no quibbles. Bravo. "Hit, pitch, and throw a baseball." Other than jock creds, why? How is this generally useful? Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

If I recall, you have spent close to 80 years on this planet. Silly skills lists aside, I'd say you've managed to survive quite well. | |||

Meant to convey physical fitness and coordination. It's no small feat of eye hand coordination to hit a thrown ball, throwing a ball can lead to throwing a life line to a drowning man, catching a ball can lead to catching a can of beer thrown across a crowded garage. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Okay, that makes sense, especially the beer can part.  (You can probably tell I suck at sports involving balls...) Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Basic throwing and catching skills are becoming a lost "skill". I'm surprised at the amount of kids nowadays that cant catch, throw, or even run non-awkwardly. | |||

Public Speaking Skills are important...also, being able to share ideas coherently, as well as listen to the ideas of others. Ability to take and use criticism without crying. | |||

I see a LOT of this (bolded part). Working with teenaged neighbor and grandson, you have to PRY the details of an idea out of them word by word to get a picture of what they have in mind. And that's face-to-face. Fuggedaboud doing it in writing. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I was born 80 years ago and I've never been any good at throwing, catching, or running. I've always sucked at every sport and I just quit trying. MNSIG, it is true that I've survived for now 80+ years, and have been fairly successful at it. I have done so in the environment of civilization, however--I'd probably do poorly in more crude circumstances. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
