I admit I struggled to pass on many skills I learned over the years to my families kids cos they dont / wont listen to dad / uncle NR. I ended up getting into even more bloody debt sending the little sods to summer camps and venture holidays so they learned stuff like
Map reading
Pony Trekking
Canoeing
Shelter building
Archery
Fire lighting
Quad driving
etc
