This is a question I have been thinking about for the last couple of days. What exactly should a young man know and what skills should he have by the time he leaves his fathers house to go out on his own?

I am thinking along several lines but obvious things like being able to drive (competently), changing a flat tire, shooting a rifle pistol and shotgun proficiently and safely are the kinds of things I am thinking of for skills.

For knowledge base I am thinking along the line of navigate with map and compass, keep a checkbook, competent in math etc. Anyway what do you all think??

What skills and knowledge should a young man have???
