Meet Bo Petterson, a dad of six children who range in age from 28 to 38. But with 1.3M followers on TikTok, it seems like Bo is a dad figure for many more kids at heart out there.

Especially when it comes to daily tasks like changing a tire, unclogging a shower drain or making your boots last longer, Bo’s TikTok is the go-to channel for practical advice, moral support and smart life lessons when your own dad is not in the mood to pick up the phone.

But TikTok’s beloved dad is not just a dad-fluencer. He calls himself a “regular dad” creating videos for the benefit of his daughter Emily, who suffered a traumatic brain injury at the young age of 18. It has given Bo a distraction and a purpose to keep going as social media has helped the family to fund her medical treatments.

So read on for Bo’s bits of dad advice that you can surely put into practice, and be sure to check how you can help with treating Emily’s brain injury right here.

How To Back Up A Trailer

How To Back Up A Trailer I have a great advice for you if you ever have to back up a trailer. The easiest thing to remember is to put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and move the steering wheel the direction you want the trailer to go. Works every time don't forget it.

Advice On Driving In Snow

Advice On Driving In Snow I have a great tip for driving in the snow and on slippery roads. Just pretend like you have a full glass of water sitting on your dash and you don't wanna spill it. So, no quick stops, no quick starts, no sharp turns because all of that would spill your water. This helped my kids learn how to drive in the snow.

How To Carry Yourself In Life

How To Carry Yourself In Life How you carry yourself in the life is really important. Make sure you stand tall, pull your shoulders back, with straight arms turn your palms out. Posture is really important and you gotta remind yourself several times a day. And if you're a young lady or a young man and you are tall for your age, don't shy way from that, don't slump down. Stand up straight and embrace your tallness.

Bo Petterson shares all the advice he has given to his own kids their whole lives, anything from moral support to heartfelt life lessons. "I consider myself a dad," he told Yahoo, "the same dad I am to my kids and same dad I would be to anyone else's kids; I'm not trying to influence anybody, I just want to pass on the things I've learned."

But there’s a much more profound purpose behind the Dad Advice From Bo TikTok channel. The videos were created on behalf of Bo’s daughter Emily who suffered a horrible brain injury when she was only 18. "I had never been on any kind of social media in my life, but I would do anything to help her pain," dad recounted agreeing to share his now-viral advice to the world when Emily went through complications in 2019.

Driving At Night/Fog/Rain

Driving At Night/Fog/Rain I've got a tip for you if you're driving at night and somebody is coming at you with their bright lights on. Overt your eyes and look at this solid white line on the side of the road. It's called the Fog Line. If you look at that rather than looking at the headlights, you'll stay on the road and not get night blindness. It will also help you in the fog and in heavy rain.

What Tools Do I Need To Start Out In Life

What Tools Do I Need To Start Out In Life Everybody should have screwdrivers in their house. Philip screwdriver for tightening up the doorknobs in your house. Flat head screwdrivers for opening up paint. Screw drivers often come in sets so it's the best if you buy them like that so you'd have several different sizes. Everybody should have a box cutter for opening your amazon packages. Everybody should have a hammer for hanging pictures and pulling out nails. Channel locks are use to to getting your hoses on and off, washer or dryer, your hoses outside, very important. Vise grips used for grabbing stuff when you need to. Tape measure for measuring your blinds and your carpets, and pictures and WD-40 for the squeaky hinges in your house.

Wd40 is terrible for squeaks, silicone spray is better. Screwdrivers are not levers, unless you have an old damaged one, I like my screwdrivers to be able to undo screws. Philips and pozi are different heads and need different drivers, that's the important one!

How To Unclog A Shower Drain

How To Unclog A Shower Drain Somebody asked how you clean out your shower drain. First of all, at like home depot or other hardware stores they sell these little wands. They're only a couple of bucks. This is the open version. They have some kind of hook on them and all you have to do is take your drain off. Some of them come off with a screw. And you feed the hook down inside and fish it around a little bit and you come up with some tiny stuff, but that's how you clean your drains and you know what hair gets in drains and it is what it is.

Despite his incredible popularity, Bo remains humble. “I'm just a regular dad. I buy shirts from the thrift store, have had the same two friends since high school and watch cowboy shows in the evening. I'm as regular as they come, but maybe the internet needs a little more of that. I always tell people that you are never too old for dad advice and you can never have too many dads." And in this sense, it’s fair to see how dads are our true unsung heroes.

Highway Safety Tip

Highway Safety Tip When you are driving on a highway or freeway with multiply lanes be courteous. If you see a car broken down, and if it's safe, move over to the left, given them space. It's unnerving to see people pass you at 50/60/80 MPH. Also, if you are in the left lane and you're getting passed in the right lanes. That's your wake up call that you are in the wrong lane. Move over to the right, please.

Oh I hate when someone is just sitting there in the fast lane, causes a chain reaction of cars switching lanes and throws off the flow of traffic. I was riding with a friend and I asked "Why don't you get over" and they responded that they were going fast enough and the other cars didn't need to speed or go any faster than him. I asked him if he was a cop, he said no, then I told him it was none of his business how fast others were driving and to move over. Drives me nuts, unless you are a cop, you have no business trying to regulate traffic.

Proud to say that I have never once gotten lost in the woods. Don't know how I managed that. Pretty much from the age of 5 I decided I would live in the woods and the only way my parents could get me to come inside was by trying to waft the smell of hot wings or BBQ around the perimeter of our land and hope I would pick up on the scent and come home. Got in a fight with my grandmother one winter and lived out in the woods for 2 weeks before they found me and dragged me home. They only knew I was alive because they could tell someone had been taking food at night.

Car Jump Basics

Car Jump Basics Everybody should have jumper cables in their car, and everybody should know how to use them. First thing you need to know is that jumpers cables are red to red, black to black and that all batteries have red connection and the other connection is the black, red to red, black to black. The firs step is to hook up red to the dead battery. The next step is to hoop up red to the live battery and the black to the live battery. And then final connection is the black on the dead battery then start the live battery car, let it run for couple of minutes and you are ready to start the dead battery car.

You should always (where possible) use a earth point rather than directly to the dead battery, cars with the battery in the boot often have jump points under the bonnet / hood, make sure you have good cables rather than "thick" cables that are 90% insulation and can't handle much power.

Winter Car Tips

Winter Car Tips Make sure you have enough time to get in in your car and completely defrost your windows before you try to drive anywhere. Don't try to drive if you can only see through a little part because that's dangerous and don't turn your windshield wipers on to try to clear the ice. You will actually damage the rubber on your windshield wipers. Lastly, never throw hot water on your windshield. Also, in the winter time make sure to keep your windshield wiper fluid full.

Job Interview Tips

Job Interview Tips When you are going out for job interview the first thing you need to do is scout your location. You need to go and see where you are going to be interviewing, so you are not so uncomfortable. Make sure you do a firm handshake, make sure you look your person in the eye, make sure you got the conversation going both ways. Don't let them just ask questions. They ask questions then you respond with questions and the most important things is make sure you ask for the job at the end of the interview. Ask for the job: "Sir, give me a chance/Mam, give me a chance I am gonna be a good employee for you.

Dad Advice On Making Excuses

When I was in sales something I heard and it really helped me out, and that was "You can make excuses or you can make sales, but you can't do both." And I think you can relate that to a lot of different things in life. For example "You can make excuses or you can get in shape but you can't do both." So, just be careful that you don't fall into that trap where you are coming up with different reasons why you can't something done when in reality you probably can you just need to put your mind to it.

Advice On Buying Used Cars

Advice On Buying Used Cars There's a couple of things I do when I go to look at a used car or truck that I plan to buy. The First thing that I always check is the oil. Dirty oil means they might not maintain the car very well. I also bring a piece of cardboard and I stuff it under the engine before I get in. Then I start i up I run it for a little while while I check lights, radio, A/C, etc. Then I pull that piece of cardboard and see if there are any oil leeks, any oil stains on it. That's important to me because I don't want a car that has an oil leak. Then I suggest to take it for a long, long test drive. Because if anything is gonna go wrong with it, it's gonna go wrong on that ling test drive.

Tip that car salesman told me: Bring a magnet with you. If there are parts where there should be metal but the magnet doesn't stick, it means that someone used polyester or some other filler to cover up damage. Could be anything from a small dent to a panel that has rusted away. So underneath that shiny paint there could be a rustbucket hiding.

Mixing Concrete At Home

Mixing Concrete At Home I show you how I mix concrete. All I'm doing is putting one fence posts in the ground, so, I don't need a lot to do it. All you need is a five gallon bucket and a trowel and your concrete. Start by having water in your bucket already, and just add a little bit of concrete at a time, little bit of concrete, a little bit of water. Keep stirring till you get the consistency. But here's the big trick. Make sure you only make half buckets because full five gallon buckets are heavy.

If you're putting posts in the ground, skip the bucket and the mess entirely. Stick the post in the hole, stabilize with braces, and dump the concrete powder straight from the bag into the hole. If you're bored you can squirt some water on top but you can easily just walk away; it'll get all the moisture it needs to cure from the ground.

Basic Car Tools

Basic Car Tools Well, the basic tools you need in your car at all times are flashlight, obvious reason you need that. Flathead screwdriver for prying things off, Phillips screwdriver. A lot of the screws in your cars are going to be Philips related channel locks.

Don't laugh at my crescent wrench. You don't need one this gigantic size, unless you're using it for security reasons. They make them a lot smaller, but they'll fit on just about every nut and bolt you have in your car, electrical tape in case some of your wiring comes loose and you have to put it back together.

And duct tape is important. If you have a rupture in any of your coolant lines, sometimes you can wrap the duct tape around that and survive till you get to the next gas station.

Knowing where the spare fuses, jump start points and spare wheel (or can of gunk) are is a good start.

If you have a big longterm goal write it down. Then under that write down smaller goals/steps you'll need to achieve to reach that bigger goal. Break things down into small manageable parts and focus on those. Focusing on the big goal many times seems overwhelming. Focusing on the smaller goals can keep you more focused. Also, know your limits and be ok with them. Not everyone is going to be the next Bill Gates and that's fine.

“MYTH: To improve performance, particularly in cold weather, allow the engine to run for a few minutes before driving. FACT: Start the engine and allow it to idle only for the time it takes you to fasten your seat belt. This ensures that lubricating oil gets to all of the engine's vital parts. Driving the car normally and avoiding hard acceleration brings the engine to a warmer temperature faster, and also reduces wear and exhaust emissions. Naturally, a little longer idle time is ok in winter while you clear snow and ice from the windshield and other car parts.” - American Automobile Association

How To Hang Christmas Lights

How To Hang Christmas Lights How to hang Christmas lights. Always make sure to plug them in before you hang them so you don't have to take them down if they are not working. Always follow ladder safety rules. I use a few exterior extension cords and I prefer to put my light on with nails rather than with plastic clips that go in your gutters. I do that because I can wrap the cord around the nails, and it holds tighter so it don't droop.

How To Check Your Oil

How To Check Your Oil How to check your oil. Just make sure that your car is relatively level, that it's been sitting for a while. All you do is grab your dip stick, wipe it off with a clean paper towel and you are gonna see a minimal and a maximum fill mark at the end of your dip stick. Then reinsert it all the way in and when you pull it out it's gonna tell you the level of your oil and what color it is, darker means you gotta get an oil change.

The first thing you got to do is start with a good quality razor and I use this dollar shave club razor because it has six blades on it. Works good for a guy like me that doesn't have much of a beard and I shave every day. But they do make a four blade for those guys that have heavier beards, the next step is to put on either some shaving cream or some shaving butter. But here's the technique to shaving. Draw yourself an imaginary line from your jawbone straight across your chin, and when you shave, everything from the top goes down to that line, and then everything from the bottom goes up to that line. After you've done your shaving up and down. There might be one or two extra wild hairs around you just got a feel for them and give them a quick pass. And remember, no matter who you are, everybody cuts themselves every once in a while

Or just use an electric shaver. It's very difficult to cut yourself with an electric shaver.

Quick Tire Fix

Quick Tire Fix Make sure to carry a can of "Fix a Flat." If you ever have a flat tire and it's in a place where it's unsafe to try to change it or if you like my daughter and you are not strong enough to get the lug nuts off. A can of "Fix a Flat" will inflate your tire, temporarily plug the hole for you and help you get from where your tire got flat to where you can get it fixed.

For the love of God no, if you use this stuff (other brands available) then you can't then plug the tyre and if I have to change your tyre I'm going to get sludge all over my tyre machine, workshop, and me and I'm going to be mad. If your car doesn't come with a spare wheel, buy one, or buy a mushroom-plug kit and a small air compressor. Also, check your tyres for potential punctures when you do the pressures, you might catch that nail before it goes through!
