I grew up in rural Alaska. My environment was full of dangerous things, and I learned how to use many of them at an early age. I learned to operate boats, snowmobiles and four wheelers when I was 5, and was allowed to operate them unsupervised as soon as I had the physical strength to operate all the essential controls unsupervised. My parents gave me a rifle for my fifth birthday. The one thing my parents wouldn't let me use for the longest time was a chainsaw.
