I remember recently looking upon my six and ten year old with pride as I had them put together some adorondak chairs we got from world market. I felt like a pretty good dad having them follow the directions themselves with very little help from their old man. They did a great job.
Then it dawned on me that my grandfather built this shite from scratch out of real fricking wood and I suddenly felt like less of a man.

Kids/teens are increasingly having lack of interpersonal skills -- unable to hold face-to-face conversations & discussions

Starting a fire. I was with a group of grown men and none of them knew how to properly start a campfire. I was dumbfounded.

But your grandfather probably couldn't read, so there's that.

Proper use of the left lane.

The proper usage of "fewer" and "less."

When I was younger my dad tried to teach me how to tie many different kinds of knots with rope. I think this goes back to the days of Boy Scouts when youth sports weren't as dominate and young boys joined the Boy Scouts. Among other things they would teach you is how to tie knots. My father could tie every knot known to man. He always tried to teach me, but I only learned the basic ones. It ha come in handy a few times for sailing and fishing but that is about it. I don't think many people today could tie much outside a half hitch.

This is true, they don't learn to never bite the hand that feeds you.

Auto Mechanics as a trade is what he means. Just drive around a familiar area to you and count the independent mechanic shops. When it gets past what google tells you to do, gonna be hard to find help less taking to dealership.

I would not just say kids/teens but adults also, people just don't communicate on personal level anymore. I love running into a person that posts every 5 minutes on Facebook with lol, lmao, etc., but they can't even carry on a minute long conversation.
