How many of us used to remember playing war games in the woods as kids using nothing more than sticks as Guns...?? & the odd pine cone Hand Grenades..!!
Found this Video on MySpace and it is excellent...The Kids are all grown up Dads now but re-living those childhood memories as kids.
Listen to the commentary too !!
So much better than the Nanny state kids of today !! How much fun can a kid have with a stick and maybe the odd log and a few pine cones...??? and best of all...their own Imagination !!!
Funnily enough, Filmed only 4 miles up the road from where I used to play the same games in the woods and all over the tank tracks in Aldershot !! (Hence you will notice the Famous Red Beret in the closing mock scrap sequence too !!)
This film certainly deserves an award for the Priceless innocent memories remembered here.
And here is the link:
The film is appropriately enough called "Stick Guns"
