wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, said though she is "really fun" her US counterpart First Lady Melania Trump "can’t go outside"
pretty pertinent cultural trend here. t'other day I had a grown male human ask me how to urinate in the out of doors. we were in Wyoming so I said "not into the wind" and left it there.

Definitely avoid child molesters and football coaches. The bears in the woods are not so bad.

Errant meteroites, rabid bats, poison ivy, crag dogs...you name it, the outdoors is rife with hazards. Secure game rooms where the youth of our country can enrich their minds with social media and their bodies with pop tarts may be the only viable answer.
I’ll soldier forth in an increasingly empty outdoors hoping there isn't a lurking mountain lion on the next tree branch I walk under.

It is hard to get lamer than a school administrator--at any level. But to echo some of the sentiments above, shouldn't be too hard for kidz to organize their own outings. I was briefly part of a climbing group associated with my uni, and it was okay, but the course ended when a belayer assumed a climber out of sight was off belay. Dude unhooked, walked away, and the climber cratered from 60 feet up. By some fluke, she didn't die, but the permanent brain damage changed her life and the lives of her kids forever. I don't think there was a lawsuit. That was decades ago. Probably instant legal action now.

College is the last time to stop these kids before they breed. I left 2 or 3 in the woods every semester.

Donini, from the photos I've seen on this site, you need to pork up considerably to be of interest as a prey item. Way too stringy for any sensible large predator. You might be able to interest a tick or mosquito but not much more.
