re: Anyone remember the outdoor gadgets you loved as a kid?

I grew up so poor all we had was sticks & sometimes they were hard to come by. You would carry around your stick everywhere. When you came upon another stick, you beat the 2 against each other. Very violent battles at times. Usually after 3-4 impacts one stick would rise as a victor. I've had a stick last a couple weeks before & beat down half of the woods.
