1 3. Tying knots
Learning to tie various knots will be of use in many situations: when you need to lift something heavy, when you go hiking or fishing, or if you like active pastimes.
1 2. Identifying edible mushrooms from poisonous ones
Many poisonous mushrooms can do you harm even when you just touch them — some of them may have mucus that causes rashes or burns.
Knowing the Heimlich maneuver
Finding your bearings in the woods
If you’re going on a trip into the wilderness, make sure you know how to find your way in an unfamiliar surrounding. Don’t rely on gadgets to help you: the link may break.
Knowing your way with plumbing and electricity
For instance, the faucet breaks while you’re washing the dishes, and the water sprays everywhere. If you don’t know how to turn it off, get a boat ready and prepare to wait for the plumber to come.
Using repair equipment
Anyone should have a minimal tool kit for small repairs
Rescuing a drowning person
Remember to approach them from behind so that they don’t see you coming, otherwise the person may hinder you or drag you down in their panic. After you’ve approached the person, grab them under the armpits or by the chin, and move to the shore, keeping their head at your belly.
Knowing how to store and save money
Whatever your income, you should know which rules to follow not to become a wastrel. And here’s a good tip to start saving.
Being able to rig a fishing rod and row a boat
Planning your vacation in advance
Escaping a stray dog unscathed
Using a jack
If you get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, you can change it yourself with the help of a jack and a box wrench. And don’t forget about the props so that your car doesn’t roll away when you lift it.
Protecting yourself on a plane in an emergency
The guidelines for safety on an airplane may say otherwise, but you’ll do better to remember that the brace position shown in most brochures, with your head bent down and your arms around your knees, is less safe than if you lean forward, place your legs firmly on the floor, and put your hands and forearms on the back of the seat in front of you, pressing your forehead to your hands. This position will protect your neck, back, and shins from breaking in case of a crash.
