You gotta take the out in the woods, away from the wife and teach them to live off the land a little.
I saw this thing about Alaska. This homesteader, took his 7 and 5 year old boys out, way down the river, and got out.
He had them pitch their little tent, and said if I don't return by morning, go back to the boat. OK.
So, he goes off, into the wood and circles back to the other side of the meadow, sets up and watches them all night.
They don't wake up when their bearwatch dog goes nuts, so he crosses over finds it was moose. So, he makes sure the moose moves off. Later, the kids wake up, pack the gear, wait around then move off in the entirely wrong direction.
The Dad, just circles around, acts like he just came on them and says, "Oh, good the boat is over here, but, you are moving away from it." <shrug> OK. The Dad said, outside their earshot, that he will do this every year until they can it right.
There is much more to learn than you can study for.
I have one idea for this. Boy Scouts.
