I have done them all but the HDTV thing. I am not great at painting a straight line but I have done it. The rest is just normal stuff in my mind.

Really? I guess I'd better go sink my...wait "a" car and practice escaping out of it?
Some are ridiculous IMO. Some are a must.

Had to take an underwater escape training class before I could work off shore, so guess I have the escape a sinking car thing covered. Wasn't that a bundle of fun. I did mine in Kazakhstan.

#1 is the thing I hate most in life (but I can do it). It gets my tennis elbow (and I don't play tennis) screaming in no time.

#3 describes how losers split wood.
#6 is pitifully incomplete.
#19 doesn't work as well as people think.
#39 - see #3.
#48 - see #6.
#57 is for you winter cotton wearers.
#61 "Cut off the old belt with a knife" What the....?
#64 Canoeing instructions for losers.
#69 That photo is a hoot.
#79 Must be for the deep south. Haven't seen windows like that around here for a long time.
Oh - and nothing about sharpening a knife? Not that great of a list, IMO. Probably things there others could point out too.

Actually I enjoyed it, but I suppose the fact I swam competitively for years and scuba dive made it NBD. I admit the first time they did the simulated small plane going in nose first and flipping you upside down it was a bit disorienting. I did the training in Anchorage, before heading to Atyrau. My boss at the time completely freaked out.

Flying a kite and using a sewing machine?? I give the kite a pass, because it was once a military tool. You can use a sewing machine to make manly things - like tents, sails, and Hammocks. And making things is manly.  Still....not that great of a list.

If you have a truck that doesn't have jumper cables and a tow strap, you need to hand in your man card. If you own a truck that NEEDS jumper cables and a tow strap, you need to trade in your truck..

I've always like Robert 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. Specialization is for insects.”

If you own a truck that NEEDS jumper cables and a tow strap, you need to trade in your truck.. jumper cables was mainly for helping others though our severe cold has killed a couple batteries on me over night and jumped my own vehicle to get down to Napa....tow strap has also been mainly for pulling out others especially a buddy that ownes a ford plus some of us actually leave pavement at times and here offroad means gumbo which means no traction when wet....
