What tool should every man own?
A pocketknife. When I say pocketknife, I don’t mean a multi-tool with a blade made of stainless steel. Look at that guy Aron Ralston who had to cut off his arm. He had a terrible time. If you’re going to cut your arm off, you’d better have a good knife.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
A bit of advice I’ve never forgotten is that you have to use your body for a certain amount of time each day. I mean really use your body, whether it’s playing tennis or chopping vegetables.
What’s the best survival skill you know?
I’ve been preparing myself for tough times by drinking out of every river I fish in ever since I was very young. So I got a good gut. I can go to any country and eat out of the bazaars, and I don’t get sick.
What skill should every man have?
The ability to fix things. You’ve got a lot of insecure people these days because they can’t fix a drippy faucet. We’re getting weaker and weaker as a species. I think the bugs will take us over pretty soon.
What should every man do before he dies?
I’ve read that you should build a house, have a kid, and write a book
