There are a few things in life that every man should be knowledgable of, from properly tying a tie to building a fire. However, it’s impossible to know how to do everything, no matter how trivial or basic it may be. Google can be your guide sometimes, but the internet seems to be filled with guides and life hacks that are irrelevant and useless to us men, like ‘cleaning your window with a lemon’ or ‘exfoliating for a softer skin with leftover wine.’ (Why would you even have leftover wine in the first place?)
For those lost souls that can’t seem to find the right guidance in life, the folks at The Kaufmann Mercantile has set out to make your life easier with The Kaufmann Mercantile Guide: How to Split Wood, Shuck an Oyster, and Master Other Simple Pleasures. As you can probably already tell from the rather lengthy title, it covers a wide variety of topics organized into five areas like kitchen, outdoors, home, garden, and grooming. So if you need a bit of guidance on tying your tie, splitting wood, building a fire, and much more, the book can assist you in these essential life skills so you can be prepared to make yourself useful without wasting time looking it up online.
