Never mind that. Just figure out how to do it.
For more fun, use more beer while discussing it.

If you figure it out it does not mean you have to involve yourself in such activities.

Be able to identify dangerous vs. harmless snakes, and be manly enough to leave the latter alone. And the former as well if they aren't a threat to you or your family.

Ah, ok that changes things.. is ITB allowed?

Edit: well, assuming no risk of pregnancy or STDs, the third guy wouldn't need a raincoat if the first two used 'em.

There is nothing manly about having sex shoulder to shoulder with a buddy. Figuring out how one guy can have sex with three women with one condom without getting them jealous is a manly activity...

Oooooh crap...

I appear to be very lacking in the basic man skills... they must have placed me in the advanced man skills class at an early age :(

In addition to the others:
Know how to build a fire.
Know how to drive a stickshift
Know how to jump start a car
Know how to bait a hook and remove a fish from the hook
Know how to do basic repairs around the house, or at least know how to improvise.

This list is much more pertinent to "Basic Man Skills" I'll just add:

Chop wood (goes with building fire)
Setup a tent w/o directions
Provide woman with orgasim

Okay, I'm gonna do a quick summary of what I think are the good ones:

Know how to change a tire
Know how to undo a bra with 1 hand
Urinal ettiquette
Know some basic shop skills so you can build stuff
Know some basic home repair skills (drywall patching, changing a faucet, changing light switches)
Know how to build a fire (bonus points if you don't use any newspaper/starter/fluid... just wood and a match)
Know how to drive stick
Know how to jump start a car
Know how to grill/barbeque
Know how to perform oral on a lady :)
Know how to tie a tie
Know how to play poker

Some beer knowledge is probably a must too... either knowledge of your favourite beer, or how to open a bottle with something in arm's length... just one thing to do with beer.

Sports knowledge is a definite bonus. Not quite a necessity, but it's something most guys should know. There probably will be conversations in social settings where sports will come up and you'll probably want to get in on it to get noticed. Gotta know a little bit.

Oh, and another bonus is being able to kill your own food. Doesn't matter what it is, but if you can fish/hunt/whatever, kill your own food, clean it and cook it, then that's gotta count for something too.

I guess you could consider the last three things as substitutes in case you can't do something on the list.

The funny thing is that most of the lists people have come up with are not 'basic man skills'. Infact I can picture a man who most would consider a 'good man' who most likely doesn't have a lot of these skills.

Here is a basic man skill:
Responsibility.
