Y’all must’ve been rich. We spent many hours whittling our guns from tree branches. It had to have just the right T-shape for the shoulder, plus a handle at the trigger.
Yes, I said whittling... with our pocket knives... at school... oh, the shock!!!
I used to make all sorts of weaponry out of my old, broken hockey sticks.
My mother, for some reason, confiscated them as soon as they were discovered.
She unknowingly reinforced a weaponry fetish that flourishes to this day.
If she were still alive, she’d die from the mere site of my current collection ;)
You had trees? Wow, There weren’t any trees on the Glasgow AFB, and prior to that Hawaii & Guam only had palm trees.
Betcha got to clim them too...with out a safty line or net.
