Besides all the skinny dipping and experimental sex stuff in the woods or barn. I gave copies to parents and children I knew of either gender, but most found it too much. I’d thought of it then as some sort of bush league variant of Baden-Powell’s derelict guide for over-infantalized young gentlemen much like the Boy Scout manual. But never thought of it as a movie?
This is sort of depressing as I think about it now. My life on very backwoods 1950s farms in New Hampshire, Quebec, and the Adirondacks with my father’s (17 siblings) farm relatives encompassed so much more than was in that book which was publicized as sort of a young survivalist’s guide for modern times, imho.
Ugh!
