I passed my highschool-exams a couple of weeks ago (good grades!! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> no more school, no more school!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

Anyway, on my school, we desided that our class would go on some kind of 'goodby camp'. So we went to a outdoor centre with a attached camp-site)

There were about 28 kids in my class and 3 teachers. You guess how many kids were carring a flashlight? And a knife?. Yep no knifes, two flashlights <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. (I carried 2 knifes and about 5 flashlights....and PSK,FAK, firesteel,survival bag,etc.)

I can understand why some people didn't carry a knife, but no flashlight? That's a bit stupid, don't you think?

Guess how many people needed my stuff? everybody! People to the toilet: needed a flashlight. Opening beer-bottles (teachers brought those <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />): Needed my Wave. Making a camp-fire......

Well at least it was very nice with eachother and we had a good time, sitting by the campfire from 8 PM till 5 AM (bbq'' ing by 3 AM) <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I also found out that my Geoghrapy-teacher (who I knew for 4 years) was also interrested in survival and the outdoors. (wish I knew that sooner, he might even be looking on this forum.....lol.)

It was a cool experience,

JIM

Drunk teenages and knifes are usually not the best combination. So in my opinion not real problem, since most campsites in holland are really close to civilization (everything is). Have been a leader for a camp and busy organising another one for 120 people, there are plenty of things that we just don't want.

Borrow you wave to open beerbottles?!?! We student use the crate, or any sturdy surface to openen them. Who needs a beeropener? C' mon nobody learned that trick to them? Even i know it and i don;t even drink!

My teacher did!
All students should know how to open a beer bottle without opener. (They should teach THAT in school! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />)

We weren't drunk, just....heavely intoxicated! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But seriously, no knifes is still acceptable for me (I said that in my original post), but no flashlights???

Ask your teacher to check out the site. I know I have at least one friend who lurks now and then, and who knows, he may just join in. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
