Far better to be the simplest pedestrian, with knapsack on back, stick in hand, and gun on shoulder, than an Indian prince travelling with all the ceremonial which his rank requires. Jules Verne
Substitute the above mentioned gun for a trusty slingshot and Jules Verne perfectly describes Ryan’s preferred method of exploring. As soon as his hand could hold a nice, long stick he insisted on at least one along with a little backpack every time we left the house. The sticks now live by the door and his backpacks are larger but the habit remains. If we’re going adventuring he’s ready with stick and supplies.
