There were always incidents like cases of hyperthermia, being chased by wild pig, running into things blindly etc. But the 1000's of kids partaking always ended up ok at the end.
- xtiansimon 7y ago>> ‘escape and evasion’ From who? Wow. I can’t read the article because I used up my free, so I don’t know if this is mentioned, but ee sounds paramilitary, and not just orienteering skill. What is the reason behind this?
- Gustomaximus 7y agoNothing that dramatic. Was school camp for cadets. Kinda like Boy Scouts but with more of a military bent. Guys in older years would try, and usually succeed, to catch you.
