    Holy shit man, so much. So so so much. Honestly I’m surprised I survived childhood.

    We used to free climb cliffs. One of my step brothers took a pretty bad fall, about 60 feet down. He cartwheeled and banged against the cliff face, then landed in a sitting position. His right arm was torn open from armpit to elbow, and the bones were sticking out. Compound break. We had to walk him though about 2 miles of desert to get back to civilization and get help. He survived with no other major injuries, but that was a close one.

    I used to go camping out in the desert by myself as a kid. From like 10 to 14 years old. I’d take a bow and arrows with me and just stay out there for a few days with my parents thinking I was spending a few days at a friends house. So much shit could’ve gone wrong, and sometimes it almost did.

    Then there’s the normal kid shit like playing with fire and chemicals, almost blowing ourselves up or burning everything else down.

    People wonder why I never had kids and all I can do is think about all the shit I got up to as a kid. I don’t need that kind of stress.
