I found this article on Field-n-stream online and thought it would be of interest to some. Poll suggests that the millenials lack poor survival skills. Very true in my opinion...

Plenty of idiots out there for sure and they are getting thicker. However, there are plenty of fine young men and women coming up these days.

I don't think we needed an article to point this out.

I'm very lucky to have two that give me hope for the future.

But....most of their friends have never shot a gun or been taught anything about outdoor survival.

I think there's actually significant backlash against the wussy millenials to the point that parents are now raising their kids to specifically not be like them.

So while they will be a miserable, forgotten generation, kids should resume some level of ability soon.

As long as these liberal millennials are stocking their cabinets with food and water, I'll be just fine.


How come everybody I meet is a deer hunting expert?

Easy there sir. Do you understand hexadecimal programming? (that is early computer days BTW). And please don't group all snowflakes into one bucket about survival skills - I would place my 2 twenty something boys against most - both urban and wilderness skills.

Agree with HalfaDozen above. It all depends on how they were raised. Younger generations have been knocked for years and years, but somehow they always come through.

Many do, actually. They're a specific type of millennial called a hipster. While there is hope for a handful of millenniels, there is none for the hipster.

I blame the parents of millennials. It's not like a child comes out of the womb and says hey, I think I'll be a useless DB snowflake. I'm a millennial but I was raised by conservative/strict parents that taught me the importance of working hard. I can't stand the typical work ethics and sense of entitlement from millennials.

It is about the same with every generation. The percentage will fluctuate between generations, but not as much as most people think. There are 6 young men on my block that qualify as millennial, I know that at least 4 of them went deer hunting this year. The other 2, I am not sure about, both are bike types.

A large percentage of our millennials become incapable of rational thought if their cell phone battery drops below 10%.

Our 22 year old was almost in a panic last weekend because we were on the way to special family dinner when she realized her cell phone was dead. The rest of the night she could not go more that 5 minutes without saying something about the dead phone or wanting someone to drive her to a store for a car charger.


We all need to practice Whoa more.

99% of the American population didn't grow up needing survival skills. Going out to the "ranch" for a weekend deer hunt isn't exactly a dangerous expedition. Usually when people get in trouble it is due to poor decisions they have made. Stupid isn't confined to the millennial generation.
