I reckon that's worse than eating it. I wonder what the inside of your lungs feel like after that one.

I think half the trees in m parents and neighbors backyards had a few boards nailed to limbs about 10ft off the ground. Never built anything real big or substantial. There was also a creek that ran through our backyard, it only held water when it rained, so I had two bridges across it, one short one down low and one long arse bridge above the high water mark. Also kissed my first girl in one of these tree houses, I was 7 she was like 9 or 10.

Behind our neighborhood was nothing but woods. There were about 10 boys all about the same age. We spent a whole summer cutting 6" pines and making a log cabin. There was a field next to the edge of woods that filled up with goldenrod. After it dried we used it as a thatch roof. It was a real-life 2 room cabin. A week after we finished, the neighborhood bully knocked it down.

Friends always had those big tree houses in those big oaks here. We also used to dig "pill boxes" under houses between the piers. Houses were 3-4' off the ground, surprised we didn't undermine the structure.
ETA- Combat was the big show back then.

On another subject, anyone ever get to call one of these AH's out later in life? I had the occasion twice, things had changed some.

I assumed diameter would be understood.

We would build a fort and then split into two teams. One would attack the fort and the other would defend it. We built a tree house that was impregnable and the defenders could just button up and wait out any attack...until someone found an old lunch box and filled it with really dry, dusty dirt and threw it at the tree house. It would hit and make a huge cloud of dust. It was like using tear gas on the people in the tree house.

We built one in Tara in the lot next to us when we were the only house on the block. In a wax myrtle. We just kept adding on to it until it was 4 rooms and about 20 feet high. There was a sweet gum next to it that you could leap out and grab and it would bend you down to the ground. I was the genius that figured that one out. Some older kids from the next block over came and threw rocks at us for a while. When they left we got our BB guns and opened up on them when they returned. It was quite the neighborhood incident. A few days later we went and trashed their fort at night and nailed the doors shut. It was a sad day when the developer that owned the lot leveled our fort with a bulldozer. The culture we have now of hyper-safety just sucks.

He missed a lot of school, but eventually returned only to disappear again for good. I have not idea what happened to him.
