Taking My Son Outdoors,


Recommended Posts

right lads, i no this is a long shot, but im trying to get my son of his playstation and ipad, and get him in to the outdoors, hes 10 , i have been taking him out with the airrifle and he loves that, but taking the airrifle in local fields might get me into bother and if i was approached by police it would put him of for ever, i also take him out camping in hammocks, we take the rifle there aswell, plinking, making cattys, ect ect, the stuff most of us did when we were young but the generation now are glued to the tv or laptops and playstations, , :huh: ive just bought a saluki pup, now 7 months old so bringing that on at mo, he seems to be loving the hunting and wildcamping but have no permition to do it, i would help around the farm when i could, that would be no problem at all, and we would both respect the land, infact when camping, there would be no trace left, im a ex soldier and my son is a good lad, just trying to get him of that computer and out in the fresh air, he does seem to really love it but like i say, we have no permition and if the police did stop us, it would really put him of, i do no this is a long shot but hoping someone has either a bit of wood local to newcastle, whickham , that we could use, we would also tidy it up, cut back trees, ect ect, what ever needed doing, anyway, thanks for readying, atb lads, john , jai

nowt better than getting out there and spending time under the stars, i love it, and having my son coming along aswell is a bonus, he loves it mate, living of the land is also something i love, i take my son ferriting, he loves that and he also loves shooting his airrifle, definatly better than playing on them damn playstations,

amen to that....my lad used come ferreting with me all time untill he stared getting in trouble at school so his mum banned him from coming as its the only thing he was bothered about lol i hate PlayStation and Xbox and when the missus got him one i wasn't best happy but lucky enough hes not really interested in them......he probably spends an hour at most on it if its really bad weather out.other than that hes in the back yard making something or in next door but ones back yard trying make a tree fort lol
