According to a new survey of 2,000 people, here are the ten traditional skills that are dying out:

  1. Reading a map.
  2. Using a compass.
  3. Knowing how to tie different knots.
  4. Darning socks, which means fixing holes in them. Most young people don't even know "darning" is a word.
  5. Looking something up in a book by using the index.
  6. Knowing how to format a letter.
  7. Knowing measurement conversions, like there are four quarts in a gallon.
  8. Spelling and grammar.
  9. Building a fire.
