Fine motor skills are highly transferable and take a long time to lose.

Even the hunting bit was mostly "common sense" we learned out of a handbook for two weeks, it's not like we were going to gun ranges.

It's hard to argue in America it's bad to teach kids guns safety. Lots of kids live in homes with unsecured firearms and stupid parents.

But yeah, we don't need to literally have that for everyone. Just some shit that's actually hands on and not reading a book or staring at a computer screen.

It'd get used more than random dates from 200 years ago.
