Top 31 Things Everyone Should Know

A while ago I was webbing and came across a list of twenty-five things everyone should know how to do. On the list included items like: “Be able to drive in reverse with a trailer in tow” or “Determine your direction with a watch and the sun.” I thought these were pretty cool tips… and of course I can’t find that list anywhere on the web now. So I’ve searched and found another list pretty similar and I’ve added a couple more below. So check it out, see if you are a well rounded human being! My abilities are also listed below…
