bring the banned stuff. The ban list was basically his "to-bring" list.

We were at Camp Hunt at Bear Lake and I literally turned his sleeping bag upside down and shook it out. Out came:

*Machete
*Two different gaming devices
*Propane torch
*about $80 in small bills and coins
*fireworks
*nun-chucks

It was amazing. The kid brought a fishing pole and made it very clear he wasn't there to do merit badges. He'd disappear in the morning and make it back to camp well after dark. I had no idea where he was in between. I felt tremendous exposure to some sort of law suit due to something he was going to do.
