The following are just some simple basics that I believe most men should posses in order to take care of themselves & their families.
- The ability to change a flat tire on their own.
- Start a good clean burning campfire with matches.
- Defend himself & his family. Both physically & verbally.
- The ability to say “No” powerfully.
- The use of basic power tools.
- How to properly approach / meet women with confidence & respect.
- Cook a great meal!
- Cut down a tree without killing themselves or anybody else.
- How to properly handle firearms.
- Have some F’n Fun!
So I could on & on about the countless times I have witness grown men throwing punches like little girls and trying to light logs on fire with a lighter and calling me up asking how to change a flat tire & so on… I have some great funny & sad stories regarding the list above, but will refrain. For now!
Take a good look at the list above. Are you able to check off a “yes” next to each one? Most of them? Some of them? What I did not learn from my step-father I learned from always being in the company of “My Boys” { the pack of kids I grew up with} or by having strong masculine relationships with other men. Did or do you have any of that? Have you isolated yourself? Guess what? If your reading this its probably time for you to learn some new skills and get back in the big game called LIFE?
One Life, One Shot. Make it Count!
