These things aren't exclusive to the blue collar crowd.......


I'm in agreement with most of that list, but I think, in this day and age, you could take "Rebuild an engine" off. Unless it's for rebuilding an otherwise unobtainable original engine for a restoration, it makes no sense. First, engines last so long now the average person who takes decent care of his vehicle will never need to replace/rebuild the engine. If you did have such a need, it would make a lot more sense to just swap it out for a crate engine.


One thing missing off that list.

Sewing!

Go ahead, laugh! I find it helluva lot more useful than changing a diaper.

All men need to know how to use a needle and thread.


Agreed..... I sew leather as in knife sheaths and holsters.... a good skill to have.

My list is a starter list feel free to add to it!



Kinda look like Bobby Heinlein’s list. LOL! Yes I sew lots of leather too!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
