I don't think I'd make it in the current age. We routinely drove snowmobiles to school in the winter, parked across the street in an empty lot during hunting season so that our bird guns were locked up technically off of school property, and carried leathermans and swiss army knives every day as a matter of course. Kids were frigging dipping Grizzly into soda bottles in the back of the class room most days.
People would have a conniption fit now, and this was only when Bush II was in office.
- PKop 8y agoI think your geography had more impact than your era. Is your hometown much different than this today? Seems like the normal rural vs urban divide to me.

- ricardobeat 8y ago> I don't think I'd make it in the current age. Or any other country (besides Russia/USSR?). That doesn’t sound like an average childhood at all.
- lostphilosopher 8y agoI grew up US rural and this checks out with me. I'm sure not every rural community had this era, but I bet a large number did. (I highly doubt it's still like this.)

- schemathings 8y agoCurious where you got 'poorer' out of that. I'm a city boy all my life, but I've driven the country quite a few times - I could picture the Grizzly dip guy with guns and snowmobiles being in Wyoming .. https://www.deptofnumbers.com/income/wyoming/ https://www.deptofnumbers.com/income/wyoming/
