      Yeah! Good thing he had plenty of sketch paper and a good sharp #2 Pencil to stay warm at night!!! And now his parents have dozens and dozens of their son's pencil sketches of his own legs and his arms! Who would have known that pulling your head and arms into his t shirt and then, just start drawing/sketching pictures of his own arms and legs would somehow keep your whole body warm in the cold!!! What a little artist! 😁😆👍🏼✌🏼

      It’s even trendy right now that younger couples don’t get physical AT ALL for the first three months of dating each other. The joke is that it takes about three months for the crazy to show so don’t get entangled before that.

      It’s obvious something important to learn IF you’re going out into the wild. Some kids just don’t really go camping 🤷🏼‍♀️
      Schools should really be teaching people how to budget and do their taxes. Yanno stuff that EVERYONE has to learn.

    • @samweller2001
      @samweller2001 2 місяці тому

      There definitely should be a specific class during the high school phase of an education where kids get randomly selected jobs ( with a description of salary and the duties/responsibilities for said job. Plus, the info regarding any additional training and / or any vocational schooling AFTER high school, how many years, what specific schooling/training how and the costs associated).
      They then would receive their fake salary/income, and they would get the bills that come with living in a home or apartment. Car insurance, health insurance, possible cell phone or any possible cost associated with having kids. Side options of vacations or toys would also be available if they wanted.
      They would then experience a specific amount of time attempting to survive with their fake salaries for a very good job that required an education. A job that provided middle class income and then an income from no education at all.
      I strongly feel that if they experienced the hardships from a job that didn't require more school, struggled as if they would in real life all while they compared that job to how much easier life was when they had the good job that they had to go to school for really open their eyes to understand how important a good education really is. This class would probably be the most beneficial knowledge that they received as a child and I know that they would make the necessary and correct decisions that would pave the way for a better future for them.

      My Side of the Mountain is a story about a boy who ran away from home & lived in a hollowed out tree in the Adirondacks. It is full of useful info about how to survive. I was enthralled with it & tried out a lot of the things he did, like leeching acorns and making flour. Scouting was a tremendous help, too. EVERYONE should learn survival skills....especially now.

      I'm sure they got tired of him n just pushed him into the woods and let him fend for himself 😂 come on people you sound ridiculous! You can tell the parents take enough time to teach that clearly intelligent boy survival tactics so I'm sure they weren't the type of parents that were just getting high in a car and the boy wandered off. It most likely was a camping trip, the kid got curious and wanted to explore, got turned around and lost. Just speculation of course but it's pretty obvious that it wasn't neglect on the parents part. Not to mention 9 or 10 years ago you could go and do things like this outdoors with family and not have to keep your children on a leash.
