Almost all men believe they have a duty to protect their loved ones.
Yet almost no man has the necessary skills in order to do so.
Learn those before it's too late:

• First Aid and Basic Medical Skills
Being able to provide basic medical care in case of injury or illness is essential.
I regularly post threads about this:

• Water Procurement
Know how to find or capture water in any setting and how to purify it.
You can buy filters but don't depend on them. You should also learn how to make your own from pebbles, sand and charcoal.

• Food Procurement
Know how to grow, forage, raise and hunt food.
Keep in mind every environment is unique so ideally you need to know about everything. It takes a lifetime to master but it's worth it.

• Building
The bare minimum is to know how to build a shelter to protect from the elements.
Building a family house or cabin is also a rewarding project.
Starting to repair or improve stuff around you will provide you easy experience and efficiency.

• Navigation and Orienteering
Never trust anyone but yourself when going somewhere, you could easily end up in life threatening situations.
Ditch the GPS, learn how to read a map, use a compass, learn how to identify natural landmarks, estimate distances, how to use stars, etc

• Fire Starting
Basic technology that marked our evolution. If monkeys could do it so should you. For heat, light, cooking, purifying water, etc.

• Self Defense
Another obvious one. You see this one everywhere for a reason. In last resort it could mean life or death.

• Communications
Learn how to use a radio, satellite phones, Morse code (good luck)
Knowing how to communicate properly is also a skill you hopefully already have. How to defuse a situation, negotiate, manipulate, etc.

• Stress Management
You have to be able to maintain a clear head no matter what is happening around you.
If you let your emotions take over you are more than likely going to regret your decision

• Mechanical Skills
Learn at least how to hot wire a car, jump start, change a tire and basic reparations.
I recommend buying a cheap/totaled car and experimenting on it.
Bonus points if you know how to escape from a submerged car

• Financial Skills
Know how to make money, invest and most importantly teach your children how to do it so your wealth isn't lost but grown.
