The True Blue Challenge
You are not more or less of a man based on how many of these you can check off. The Challenge has never been a test. It's a starting line.
Every one of us has skills on this list we still need to learn. Check off what you can do today, then pick the next one and find a man in the Tribe who can teach it.
Adapted from Popular Mechanics' list of 100 skills every man should know (2009). First published as the True Blue Tribe Man Skills Challenge in 2012.
