[quote=Blogstar]My kids have to kill and skin and cook a rattlesnake. Change the brakes on the truck and grow and can some okra. It will be just like a 1920-1930’s depression and we don’t have to leave it to the whims of central bankers as to whether they are spoiled or not.[/quote]
Interesting.
My dad made sure all three of us kids had the following skills:
– Able to cook well enough to feed oneself without going to a restaurant.
– Able to sew well enough to mend clothes. (My brother turned his sewing skills into money in college – making climbing gear and backpacks and selling to friends.)
– Able to change oil and filter on a car, gap a sparkplug, do basic car maintenance. He even made me do a valve job on my old honda.
– Able to do yard maintenance.
– Able to do laundry without turning everything pink or size zero.
