Thank you for picking me!!
I did. It was built high in the trees and we had booby trapped steps to get up there.
I did too - we ran in a pack of about 6 kids most of the time, it was the 70s and as long as you came in at dark, all was OK. We somehow built this fort with plywood (I'm sure we just walked off with it from new home construction). It was the coolest thing ever at the time. Ah, to be 10 years old again...
Played a lot in the woods but i was always a loner and and our place in the country the the one nearest in age was a girl 4 years older than me. But we played and i could read her old Donald duck comics that was saved and was fantastic because i hadn't read them before. But we never built any treehouses. One winter we built alot of different sledge tracks of the Calvin and Hobbes kind but that is the closest.
We played outside all the time and constantly built huts and got into soooo much trouble at times.
I remember. Used to have peashooter wars behind sofas and things when parents not home. The thing was to get in a hit without being hit yourself so alot of hiding and taking shelter behind things was involved.Couch.
Yup, and the rug was a lava pool you had to jump across.
Yes, and their were alligators and dinosaurs, and then the spiders of unusual size.
Is this from The Sixth Sense?I didn't have a fort!
We made a blanket fort!
The neighborhood kids always played in the woods (both homes I lived in while growing up had woods near by) -
We used to go in the woods and play make believe, like, pretend we were the Partridge Family etc...... we would also hang out around the creek so often times we'd just explore, look for tadpoles, a place to get away from our parents and feel independent!
I broke my arm on a blanket fort. My brother worked his butt off stringing sheets and blankets from furniture piece to furniture piece in his bedroom. I was sitting on his dresser watching. He announced it was done. And I jumped down on top of the whole damn thing! Oh man! I broke my arm and my brother was so pissed, because obviously I pulled everything down to the ground, that he stomped into my room with me holding my arm howling at the moon and he took my piggy bank and slammed it into the ground.I didn't have a fort!

Now. If you talked to my brother, this never happened. The piggy bank breaking part that is. He claims he never did this. He did.
Loved playing in the woods. I liked to climb, I liked to hide, and being an only kid with a somewhat unbalanced mom, I could be quiet and patient. No one found me.
The Boy Scouts were good for woodcraft, learning stuff that helps in the wild, like boiling dandelion leaves and making pine needle tea and starting (and, just as importantly, putting out) cooking fires and purifying water and constructing shelters (including ice caves in the winter). We played games like "capture the flag," or something like that, but daytime wasn't challenging enough - we played at night.
The Boy Scouts was a good gig. The only thing I didn't like was the pressure to make rank. I just wanted to go camping. Then I got my parents in on camping, although a bit more refined with cots and heater and all that, and then the girlfriend who became the wife (our honeymoon was a camping trip), then having kids, getting them interested.
The best sleep I ever get is in a tent, in a sleeping bag, on the ground. It doesn't happen nearly often enough anymore.
