| Weather watching - I'm by no means a meteorologist but I understand a bit of cause and effect for most weather patterns in and out of my area. I mainly use weather.gov for my informational resources and they also have guides on a lot of weather related stuff.
| Lockpicking - I started before lockpicking lawyer popped off but I deeply appreciate him for making fun videos about the subject and bringing it out of obscurity. He definitely is much better than my amateur self and makes it look easy in general. As for starting out, check your state and local laws because in some places possession of the tools is illegal if you don't have the right licensing, in others intent is critical but possession is not. Don't break into anything you don't own is an obvious one. Finally you can get a set of hooks, rakes, and torque wrenches online for $15-30 (prices may vary) and key locks are pretty cheap.
