Unusual life/survival skills that everyone should know?

I happened upon a book that I hadn't read in 15+ years while looking over my bookshelf last night titled "The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook" and it made me think about things I need to ensure my kids know. Common sense stuff, but stuff that may legitimately crop up. I'm starting a list if you fine folks would like to add to it:

-Always check the breaker/check for power before dicking with wires
-Don't mix cleaning solutions/chemicals
-To kick down a door, strike near the handle/lockplate with your heel
-If your car goes into water, release the seatbelt and try to roll the window down before you lose power. If you lose power, you have to wait until the car fills with water to open the door or else the pressure will pin the door closed.
-If lost in the woods, make shelter and stay put, preferably by a water source. Don't wander.
-Don't play cards with a man named after a city

What else you got?
