I've been wondering that myself. I feel very lost. My productivity in things that matter could spike a lot this year.

Great thread. This is now the official Fort/Treehouse/Hideout/Clubhouse thread.
1) One of my favorite forts ever was discovered by sdbro and myself when we were roughly 6 and 8 years old. It was out in the woods near our house. It was an actual little house with a glass window, door on a hinge with a bolt to lock it. It was about 15 feet by 5 feet. The floor was dirt and when we were digging up the floor for no reason we discovered and old metal tool box with some old rusty tools, some books that were basically unreadable and moldy and some other crap. The kid who had it before us was estimated to have lived in the 1600s and was friends with indians and crap and probably ran away from home to live on his own. He had all sorts of pet animals that helped him hunt and did various jobs for him.

Sounds amazing. :D
I would go out in the woods and pretend that I was an Indian camping out (vision quest). But I never found a house with cool buried treasure.

2) Fort 2 was a tree house of sorts. sd, sdbro and littler sdbro found a pile of wooden fence posts of various lengths. We took them up into a big wide tree and began to hammer them down in between the Vs of the widest branches wedging them in there tight. Then, we put nails through them so they wouldn't fall when we sat on them. Eventaully we had about 40 wooden fence posts making walls up the largest Vs of the branches. We then began to construct the floor out of ply wood we found in our shed. The floor was of poor quality so it was primarily for looks only. We would sit quietly waiting for a deer, bear or outlaw to pass by so we could drop the rocks we had stockpiled up top onto their heads....none ever passed or were seen.

Nevermind. It probably was a Panera bagel so befoul away.

I am wearing an obnoxious purple shirt today. It is of good fabric, and expresses a quality sheen. Nobody is rough ridin' with me today, and I'm pretty sure it's because of my shirt. I am also not speaking to or making eye contact with anybody.

My fort #1: A tree fort at my neighbors house. Few wood planks and a rope to swing on. Couldn't find any other ropes to use, so we used his parent's tow rope. One day a friend went down the tow rope too fast and the hook ripped his sack. Lesson for all the goEMAWers: do not use tow ropes for any future forts
-
Anyone else have a shed or two full of usable boards and plywood?? Uhm..yeah, totally awesome to have growing up. Had multiple tree house all at least 15 feet off the ground. Damn, i miss the good ol days of making mud pies.
-
My fort was generally inside in the family room. ETP and ETPbro would take all of the kitchen table chairs and form a circle. We would then take our bedsheets and form a ceiling with them. We'd play in it for about 5 minutes, then leave it to ETPmom to pick up.

we would usually grab all the sofa cushions. Use them as walls and use blankets over top. Usually would integrate a table or two as well.

Your story reminds me of the 3 Roloff bros from Little People, Big World. Those sons of bitches have some amazing adventures.

The neighbor kid had a sweet fort in his back yard. But, he was rough ridin' around with building a fire one day and set the entire three-acre back yard a blaze.
Fire department came and the kid told them that a "black man wearing a black cape and black hood set the fire." Fort was torn down. True story.
-
in elementary school my pet catfish showed me an old sub that had settled at the bottom of our lake. i rough ridin' loved the crap out of it, even put a tv in there. god, i miss those days.

Greatest book of all time? Yep, My Side of the Mountain....about a boy who makes a fort out of a tree stump and befriends a bird and some other animals. he made a fireplace in his tree stump fort for crying out loud.

OMFG, This was my favorite too. I also enjoyed The Other Side of the Mountain as well. Jean Craighead George was the reason I almost wanted to take up falconry.
Another classic.... Man who Loved Clowns. Talk about a tear jerker.
-
I didn't have a fort. Just a secluded dirt circle in the woods with some chairs and we put up some rock "walls" to make it kind of look like a fort...? Then they tore down the woods for an upper-scale neighborhood.

We had a treehouse at a creek behind the (residential) daycare I went to after school. The treehouse kind of sucked, the real prize was the creek. Tons of honeysuckles and wild onion shoot things. We feasted on that stuff like it was going out of style. Also we started collecting beer bottle caps. Pretty apparent somebody had a bizarre obsession with Red Dog.

anyone else spend a crap ton of time walking though creeks and trees?? Just used to randomly start walking a couple miles down the creek, finding random stuff. Really no point at all.

I like cream cheese but never eat it. kinda weird. just never have it or eat it but the rare occasions I do I'm all, "Yeah, this is all right".

Not really.
A couple of months ago a guy who works with my father-in-law was looking for a deer he shot and came across a female body tied to a lawn-chair around Concordia.
-
My neighbors built this super awesome fort in their backyard, which kind of backs up to my backyard and my friends and I used to go smoke black and milds back there when we were 14. Apparently it wasn't registered with the city of lenexa and they sent a crony to investigate WHILE WE WERE INSIDE!!! :surprised: We ran to millcreek and a week later our fort was rough ridin' gone.
eff you, city of lenexa cronies.

Did she look like she was enjoying Concordia?

He said vege-cream cheese. Cream cheese with garbage in it.
-

Don't put butter or fruity/crappy cream cheese on it.
-
Vege cream cheese is worse than cream cheese, tomatos, and capers? Not really seeing the difference hear. Yeah, the mass produced, flavored cream cheeses suck but the locally produced stuff is delicious. Stop being a bagel snob. (Guess we could let the Jews be bagel snobs, they earned it.)

I lived on 20 acres with a creek & trees running down one side around the towanda/augusta area. My buddies and I swiped some wood from my dad's shed & built a couple of bridges going over the creek. We then cleared about 5 trails running through the trees making booby traps along the way to catch crap like, squirrels, deer, rabbits, friends little brothers, etc. There was one tree that was good for climbing and we started to build a tree house in it, but it got struck by lightning and split the trunk in half. After that, it was still easy to climb, but the main trunks were too far apart to build anything higher than 3 feet off the ground. Later when we were in high school, we built bunkers and turned it into a kick ass paint ball field - bought cheep wal-mart guns & invited people we didn't like over so we could hide in all of our secret hiding places we had built and mercifully destroy all opposition. After a full day of paintball, we would swipe beer from our dads, walk down to the local turnpike bridge late at night, drink beer & talk about how awesome sex would be when we got girlfriends that put out & eat cinnamon bagels with strawberry cream cheese.

Did anyone see the blanket fort on Community?
-
When it floods, I bowfish for spoonbill down at the river.
-
Used to do the sheet over the couch cushion forts, but we would add a fan and make it blow up like the Metrodome.
Very elite.
-
used to make a landing pad out of coach cushions then dive over a chair catching lobbed "hail marys" in the living room.

no, I spent my time fishing for marlin off of the coast
just randomly fishing for marlin off the coast, huh? did they ever figure out why?

I do that fairly often now. Got 200 acres to explore. Found an old well from likely sometime pre-1880's and the remains of some building from the same era. All that's left is a circular pit about 12' across. Good place to find morels and deer sheds too.

A long time ago (maybe on the old board?) rickdaris referenced "the boy who only hit homers" and I immediately followed up with a super insidery type metaphor to let him know we BOTH loved that book as kids. Then, he basically blew me off. So...guess who ate alone at horrible restaurants in Bethesda.
