I was out camping in the woods outside of town with friends when I was 8 to 10 years old. Campfire and all.
Same here.
Even in Alaska this common
I was spent Summer vacation up there I was out there near Denli State park with uncle and my family
When I was 12 (and I’m not that old) a bunch of us kids would go out to the woods where we built a big earthen berm to blast cans with one of the boy’s Dad’s shotguns.
Maybe that’s the difference. No one is going to try to kidnap kids carrying 20 gauge shotguns.
“I was out camping in the woods outside of town with friends when I was 8 to 10 years old. Campfire and all.”..
Same here. The day school got out for the summer, My brother and I packed our stuff and road my horse about a mile and a half from home, setup camp next to a lake, did some fishing, stayed there for three days and nights, all right next to a major highway on the outer edge of the city. Never had any problems. People came by, complimented my brother and I on our camp and the amount of fish we had caught, cooked and ate. What ever happened to those “good old days”?
Millions of kids have walked billions of miles to and from school, now we can’t?.
