While most oriented towards preparation, self-sufficiency and survival like to think of ourselves as handy, and we might be with some things, there are a slew of skills that we just frankly do not possess.

As we have developed as a modern society, we have become very dependent on those around us as well as machines to do the work and possess the skills that we frankly do not have time to learn.

That has, though, created a dearth of basic knowledge as it pertains to skills that used to be fairly common and used on a daily basis.

What skills do you think we have neglected? What skills should we learn? Tell us below.
