If you can't do it without even a compass you need to stay out of the woods or at least near the road! Trees lean south, Moss grows on the northside of the tree. Who needs a compass? Also a compass don't know where the shallow spots in the sloughs are either. That only comes with experience!

True a compass shouldn't be needed but the gps nuts have to start somewhere. And the back a trailer down the boat ramp quickly thing my goodness you can lose faith in humanity real quick at a boat ramp watching the idiots back a boat trailer.

The quote about about being a jack of all trades and master is one my grandfather said to me several times. I use Google A LOT but most of the time it is to get a detailed question answered about a process or task I understand or figure out about 95% of on my own.

Be able to build a fire with one match and whatever you can find in the woods. It's always amazing to watch people try to light a log with a piece of newspaper under it and wonder why it won't catch on fire. Gotta make the pyramid starting with leaves, then twigs, then small branches, and lastly the logs. Learned that camping with granddad at Noxubee.

This is obviously not written by a dude. Those 3 are out of order...

I looove taking guys camping that have never been, especially ultralight camping. Ol boy thinks he's a country boy till you stick his booty out in the woods with a hammock, a knife and some basic food necessities. If you can camp for days at a time you can do anything. Talk about improvising.

Oh and never tell another man two in the pink one in the stink really works.

That lady part we all seek is only a 2-3 inch split at the end of 30 feet of intestines.

Know how to start a charcoal grill
Fix basic computer problems
Carry a pocket knife

take care of your kids and hold a full time job.

carry a SHARP pocket knife. A dull knife is pointless (ha, get it)
A man should be able to (and want to for that matter) be able to care for his own child with out the help or consultation of the childs mother. In the case of it being another's child, consultaion is ok.
Be a good father to your child or father figure to another's child.
Be ok with the fact that you look silly entertaining you small child in public.

This just happens and you don't even realize it until you see someone looking at you like you have lost your mind.

Also aside from taking care of your family a man should seek God daily and be the spiritual leader of the home.
