Are You A Real Man?

[RiderX]

it's amaginzing how many i have actually done...no sewing machine experience, but i'm about 97 out of 100

 

[xtremelow]

WOW i'm surprised how many of you have had to escape a sinking car... haha stories?

I actually trained for this in a stripped down Hummer while in the Marine Corps, talk about fucking with your instincts. Shit falling, water rushing around you, and the hummer flipping. You really have o pay attention to what is going on. If they would have added anything else I would have just said screw it and went down with the ship

most of the stuff ive just never done before....ooh well just means i get to learn something new!!!

 

[konarider94]

39 and 79 are the ones id have most trouble with. there are things i havent done but know how to do. i havent come across frostbite or a seizure victim but im pretty proficient in first aid, we simulated them. and ive never been in a flood but i think i could handle it.

mythbusters prepared me for a sinking car, lol

i feel pretty confident in the rest of them though.

I guess i've never really had a need for those above. The tools/construction was my step-dad, rest was stupid experiences or military training.

[wolfo68]

lol yea I was hit by lightning when I was like 6, but I've had my wolfo name since I was 5 because of my obsession with wolves

only thing I can think of that the lightning really did was mess up my eyes

I see two different sets of colors from eye to eye now

 

[dave_xb12r]

You like wolves eh? Well I have a bit of a fun fact about mister dave_xb12r. My nickname growing up was Wolfman Dave. When I was 5, my dad had a friend that raised wolves. Several times, he paid me to crawl down into the wolf den and put the puppies into a duffel bag. So, I'm one of the few people that can say they've been in a wolf den.

Where were you hit? In the head I assume. Was it a direct hit?

 

[Stevenc150]

That's crazy. Can you see in the dark?

 

[agfish18]

I probably wont measure up to what a "man" should be... but I am learning every day.

here is my long ass list. if I dont know how, I havent needed to learn yet.

I just did #32 last night oddly enough.

3,4,7,13,23,29,30,33,34,38,51,53,59,82,83,85,86,96,100

 

[wolfo68]

actually the bolt came down the tree in my front yard deflected off of a birdhouse which consequently exploded and hit me through an open window to the face

and unfortunately no I can't see in the dark lol
