When I was a kid - my dad let me take off and walk through 120 acres of woods to access the town dump with 10/22's and a brick of 22lr in tow to shoot things. Old TV's, rats, bottles etc. Anything interesting.

No supervision, no return time, few rules and I was 8 years old.

Later as a teen I had 2 rules

1. Call if you're not coming home that night
2. Don't bother calling from jail

Used 1 all the time, never used 2.
