Poll: Millennials lack basic survival skills!
Not only are millennials self-absorbed, unmotivated, entitled workaholics—according to experts, anyway—but they may also be inept survivalists. A new poll, conducted by the London Boat Show, reveals that today’s young people lack basic outdoor skills possessed by older generations, The Express reports.
                  
Only a third of respondents knew how to naturally ignite a fire, and 44 percent had never been camping before. Moreover, half of the young adults surveyed were unable to tie a survival knot, less than a third had ever caught their own fish, and 40 percent of young people surveyed reported having never swum in open water.
                  
“Despite the rise of TV shows such as “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” and “Bear Grylls: Born Survivor,” young people lack basic survival skills,” said a spokesperson for the London Boat Show.
                  
Increased reliance on technology might be to blame for the lack of knowledge, the results suggest.

pretty Helpless==How many could gut a deer and cook it Or clean a fish and Make dinner--!  Most travel in Bad weather with NO Basic survival gear --Dressed in pretty casual yuppy wear!! when they will be at natures Mersey if they slide off the road[I owned a Tow truck service and was a firefighter for years] -Happens all the time !!  No One wants to lug around a heavy coat so they wear the cute fashion jacket and run to the car then run to the nightclub =and crash on the way home and about freeze to death as we are trying to pack them for the Ambulance arrival !!

                  






Clearly, the pollsters did not consult any of F&S’s young readers. If they had, the results might look a little different.

Those skills no longer matter beyond being a hobby. Like knitting. Nice, but hardly necessary.

And calling them workaholics while also calling them unmotivated and entitled? If people who work all the time are not motivated and deserving, who is?
