Manskills: How to Avoid Embarrassing Yourself and Impress Everyone Else

Your prep guide to this test called life—from outdoor skills to taming the urban wild, car care to cooking, handy manning to managing a hangover.

Armed with the proper set of skills, there is no beast a man cannot tame, no problem he cannot solve, no wine he cannot appraise, no meat he cannot grill, and no woman he cannot amaze. All that lies between you (or your man) and becoming uber-evolved is mastering the wisdom contained in this humble book called Manskills.

But you must learn these lessons well. When that angry she-bear lunges, you won't have time to Google "surviving animal attacks." When your boss's wife offers you a morsel of cave-aged Gorgonzola she's not expecting you to wolf down that hunk of blue mold and say "Cheesy!"

With instructive illustrations, the skills are organized by categories such as:

- Shelter Savvy—remove a stripped screw, handle a jackhammer, stop a toilet from running . . . - Wild Ways—Build an igloo, stitch your own wound, catch a fish without a rod and reel . . . - Social Graces—sew on a button, order wine like you know what you're doing, ease a hangover . . . - Emergency!—save someone from drowning, use a fire extinguisher, bust down a door . . . - Romantic Prowess—plan the perfect romantic dinner, meet her parents, pick a diamond . . .

to name just a few

By developing your manskills, you'll avoid life's pitfalls and become a complex, sophisticated person of confidence, competence, and vigor. Good for you!
