What training or experience do you think all men should have in their lives?

Well, around here it is a lot of Boy Scout stuff. Basic knowledge for outdoors stuff. I'd have to say most of the girls do that around here too. Just the nature of where we live. Sort of a culture thing.

The other is hunting. Again, many girls do it too. Gun safety and hunting rules are important for everyone's safety, whether you are actually hunting or not. Even if you are hiking, you should know the basics. To me, it isn't just a man thing but a where we live thing that people should learn.

Including the rich folks from out of town that swarm our lake in their fancy mansions every summer.

They should know how to swim.

Falling into water is more likely than a fist fight with a Grizzly

I think a good guideline is the material used to earn merit badges in Boy Scouts back when it actually was Boy Scouts and not everyone scouts.

It taught cooking, wilderness survival, first aid, communication, fitness, finance management, camping and how to be a productive member of society.

Learn how to swim, ride a bike and hike.

Learn how to prepare for emergencies and what to do if one happens.

And finally, learn to keep the environment clean.

Oh yeah and learn to stand up for yourself. Unfortunately, the BSA was never all that keen on fighting back if it's clear someone is incapable of using their words.

Oh, gee, I don't know...

... where to begin, all boys need to be taught how to handle a plug of tobacco, when to or not to whistle at a pretty girl, drive a tractor, ride a horse, handle cattle, haul and stack hey, catch and clean fish, same with deer except shoot instead, and how to use his fists.

Don't know about all men but at a young age I was taught how to stand up for myself, how to fight, how to listen, how to stay in shape, how to play sports etc. It served me well.

[Just_Ken]

.. how to assess danger. How to respect women but not accept disrespect from women.

I see these young men coming up now and most haven't a clue about anything and are having to learn some very hard lessons because nobody taught them how to do anything, how to think, how to respect others, how to look after themselves. A whole lost generation of kids raised by the tablet.

how to PROPERLY lift and carry heavier stuff

[Iron_Man]

This should all be sent out to survival wilderness training camp like I have twice

[Iron_Man]

They

Many need to be taught that they are not entitled to a woman's attention, and to be able to converse with a woman as a person, not a sex object.

They need how to face adversity and learn survival skills. Having a healthy respect for the things that can get you killed.
