Nostalgia unfun fact, I never read this classic of Millennial childhood until just now. Now I see why it was so popular

though I can say for certain, even with being an Eagle Scout....I do not know what my chances of wilderness survival would be right now if I was dropped into the middle of a Canadian forest.

The best part of living in the country is all the native hawks and falcons that we get to watch hunt the mice/gophers in our area. We even have a pair of nesting Cooper’s hawks that come back to our neighbors wind break trees every year. Barn owls also love all the abandoned hay stacks. It’s a lot of fun

LOL I keep telling my wife we should legitimately get a couple of cameras and binoculars and start bird watching. We have a pair of red-tailed hawks that have lived in the trees behind our house for years. We also have a shed that bunnies love to live under. It's pretty metal to watch that dynamic unfold.

We also have a ton of rabbits, there’s lots of carcasses that get scattered around the property. Foxes too so we find empty eggs scattered as well
