Collapsable fishing rod because it was easy to carry through the woods. Hatchet and machetes to build tepees out of pine trees. Old bucket of bent nails we would straighten out to build club houses. Army surplus web belt with canteen. A good imagination.

Ninja stars and butterfly knifes were also great to have. I use to pick up the ninja magazines at the K&B and dream. Remember, "only a ninja can stop a ninja"


Still have my bali-song and my shuriken. Dad wanted to make a belt buckle out of my 8 point star, but it wouldn't be removeable. I told him, no thank you. Bali-song came from a guy who almost brought it with him to USMC boot camp...would have been a bad mistake. I benefited.

Dad had went to Misawa, Japan a few years before and came home with my shinobigatana (ninjato). Nice piece for my collection. LOL...

Did you know you can make a pretty mean poison from boiling down a pack of cigarette tobacco into a paste?


Yea, nicotine is quite poisonous. There used to be a product called Black Leaf 40 that was a nicotine alkaloid. Guys that fight chickens will pay a lot of money for it to keep mites off their birds.

I also had a Benjamin .22 air rifle. I remember having a hard time finding .22 pellets in our small town. Everything was .177

Canteen, hatchet, Crossman bb gun and my Fur Fish & Game magazine.

I had my old Crossman pump dialed in, me and my running buddy nailed a feeder to one of the poles in our barn. We would put feed in it and hide in the hay and shoot sparrows until we got bored.

I had a tree house in the back 40 also that seen many camp outs and first time to get drunk, get high and get laid.

My buddy and I would crack one of my parents kitchen windows, go throw a bunch of bread about 15 feet away and sit inside with red ryders.

I had a sling shot to but we called it a n***** shooter. I used to walk up the road just shooting bottles.

I could probably fill an 18 wheeler with all the birds I killed with a daisy pump bb gun.

When I turned 12 I could use the 22 single shot. A lot of stuff died with that rifle.
