Great list... I see a couple I could look into/use a refresher course on.

good list, need a refresher on the map and compass if im in an unfamiliar area and need to learn a second language

Good list. But I could have used less techy stuff and more things that you would need if you lost the techy.

Like weld, or brew beer...

49 out of 50... not bad... I'm foreign language retarded though...

14 and 26. I'm horrible with names and sketchy with foreign languages. I can get around in German, Spanish and French-but not proficient.

There's a lot of people that shouldn't do either of those. Definitely not everyone things.

NO, those are exactly the people that should know how. Maybe if they did it more often they would do one of two things... take themselves out of the gene pool OR get better at it.

It would be pretty damn hard to take yourself out with either of those two, so much so you wouldn't be capable of hardly anything on that list.

Welding is too specialized a skill, too many people think they can weld and are completely shit at it. Welding is for qualified individuals unless you want crap. Inspected too much of that shit for people to think anyone can do it.

You really know it's not for everyone when even computers can't do it right. Seen computer laser welds for major corporations that were just awful.
