Fire lighting kit

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Thing that is a shame is how today people shy away from the outdoors. I actually used to get in trouble if I did not have a pocket knife and a book of matches on me.

Myself my brother and cousins all would spend most every night even the school ones camping in our yards. We would actually follow the receding snow line further from the home.

At the age of about 12 we were trusted to walk by ourselves 1 mile through the woods to get to the shooting area our dads all set up and spend hours plinking away with our .22 and we never shot ourselves.

Unfortunatly times are changing and I really would hate to be a kid today.

I know it is sad times, they really are

I know and my new kiddo actually told her Kindergarden teacher I build rifles in the basement. She called the cops.

Out of the mouths of babes , at least the cops are on the ball, even if it was a false alarm

Oh no she was right I was building a firearm... But it was a present for the Douglas police chief. a 1837 Hawken. 56 cal 42 inch barell and beatiful maple figure in the stock.

Any chance of a picture for a rifleless Brit

Yah its a parrot rifle. with a bore that shoots beercans filled with mortar. It will shoot through 5 inches of oak at 300 yards!

This incident unfortunately reminds me of Communist Russia, the old East Germany, or the even the Third Reich, where children were encouraged by teachers to rat out their parents.  Apparently many children did inform on their parents, which resulted in them being sent off to the gulags for 're-education.'

I bet the local crime fraternity give your house a very wide berth

nah Keep it locked up at work. It is really the only place in Mass that I really know what the area is like. My company has 154 acres and we have the Assebett river behind that with 300 acres of military land after that so it is a safe place to play.

Have you taught your kid how to make charcloth yet?

Nah hes only just turned 5, so a lot of that stuff has to wait a bit, but he does come down the woods with me quite a bit, and he's a fit little sod as a result (certainly knackers me out )

I have thought about doing some of that, as it is getting to be a bit more popular over here

Been doing it now for 4 years and love every minute of it. I have found places that I never would have before, and real cheap to start. Just need a gps.
