If a boy learns these things
and learns to survive,
it will give him a great sense of pride,
knowing as a man no matter what,
he can most likely stay alive.
Teach them to camp out and
build a warming fire to take away
the chill of the night,
make sure they do it well,
make sure they do it right.
A boy needs to be taught
how to get along with nature
and take advantage of all it has
to give and to learn that all things
have a time to die, as well as
a reason to live.
Don't take any more than
you absolutely need, use our resources
sparingly don't destroy them with greed.
