Idk I'd probably be fune.. For a while...doodeedoodoo
I’m impressed the guide demonstrated the flint’s sparking abilities and let the kid keep the rock. I know way too many adults who’d be like, “Oh no, danger!” and make a kid leave such a rock alone.
People were a lot less weird about stuff like this in the past, even in the 90s and early 00s. My dad gave me a pocket knife when I was like 8.
Honestly the risks of giving children things varies by individual. 9 year old me with a knife? Perfectly safe and what wasn't safe was a learning experience. 12 year old me with matches? Literal dumpster fire because I have pyromaniac tendencies.
So Anon is 16 years old? They'll be just fine.
Why can’t I go back Anons?

Shit, I am a grown man and am still excited for OP, that's awesome!
I'm kind of an outdoors nerd though.
So many people seem to want to go back, though. Maybe we just need to coordinate
(the picture was taken in December ‘25, of my college I had graduated from twenty years prior. The absolute liminality, devoid of people, and night time environment, counter to how one would normally perceive a college, all adds to the unsettling effect. I added the text after the fact, and formatted it to fit. It wasn’t just hanging in space, but it should have been.)
Who all wants to get together to live at the local boarded up mall!
I thought Tom Holland's first movie was The Impossible.
Correct. Tom Holland did not direct a TV series a year before he was born. This is the American Tom Holland.
This is getting out of hand now there are two of them.
I'm not sure what shape a hearth is.
It's the massive stone slab that lies in front of a fireplace, stops stray sparks for burning holes in your carpet or floorboards and burning the house down.
They're usually half-tonne rectangles of granite. Fair play to the lad for digging one out and carrying it home, it's normally a job for a forklift.
Tbf he did say it was hearth shaped not hearth sized, which I guess just means rectangular? Idk
Yeah I was going to guess rectangular.
did some quick doodles for you
idk whether that makes sense to anyone but me 😅
Booba?
I thought it was a typo for heart based on the picture
Nonsense. It was an important story, and OOP would have checked for spelling.
I was expecting the rock to be Cesium-137 or something
I was thinking unexploded ordnance
Hits it with some metal
It detonates, liquifying 15 scouts
Best day of my life
I can’t believe the rest of you left that behind
I'll do better, I promise
