By Robert Heinlein...
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." This about covers it....

This came up last night:
A man should know how to build a nice fire in the fireplace, because women simply can't (well most women anyway). the wife got home before me and tried to start a fire in the fireplace. Now understand, this is a wood burning fireplace that has natural gas to make starting the fire easier and quicker. She threw a large round log on the rack, lit the gas, and then wondered why the fire went out after she turned off the gas a minute later. Arrrgggghhh! |

Field strip and reassemble an M-16/M-4 rifle in the dark.

Way back many years ago, I was invited to the set of the movie "deliverance" by a friend who was a technical consultant. At the end of the day we were invited to Jon Voight's cabin for a drink. He had some hot babe there and proceeded to strut about like a mountain man perhaps for our benefit as much as anything. He went to light a fire in the fireplace....several large wet logs. Stuffed half a sheet of newspaper under them, lit with match and stood back. He was so perplexed it did not erupt in a roaring flame. What a doofus. We left. Hot babe didn't. Oh well. |

My lady friend heats with wood. If you know what I mean....... Seriously, she heats and cooks with wood. In at least two ways.
I was a Boy Scout. Invaluable training.

Class C--unplug it ,becomes a Class A fire. Just good 2A, 10BC grade extinguisher will handle it. Seriously, learn CPR you will be in some situation where you will need.
