[QUOTE="Beagleboy, post: 210078, member: 1151"] I have been taking my kids to the bush since they were babies. As a result of that my 19 year old son loves spending time there any opportunity he has. I have though him to be respectful of the nature and make sure when he leaves no one knows he was there. He has his own 4x4 now and goes out all the time with his mates. He got his first knife when he was about 6 and I though him to drive a car when he was 8 (on my uncles farm). He knew how to jump start a car and change a tyre when he was just a kid. These days kids are mostly interested in Xbox and don't have any idea about the real world. I do agree with you that the parents are to blame. There is no easy way to learn about what it takes to be successful in any thing you do and sooner or later the kids have to work it out for them selves. You can not keep them in cotton wool forever. All you doing is setting them up for disappointment when they become adults. I am very proud of my kids and how they turned out to be. My son still loves his PlayStation but a camp fire is definately what he prefers. I am sorry that you had to write this post about people taking short cuts and being disrespectful to your mates. I really appreciate your videos and the knowledge you shared with everyone so please don't stop. [/QUOTE]
