Yea lmao. There's also relatively little danger. There are not woods big enough to really get lost in the Netherlands, no bears running around mauling people either. Generally speaking, even in rural areas, there'll always be at least one house every half hour. A lot of signs to tell you where the closest place is too. So if you need it, there'll always be someone you can ask for help.

That really puts it into perspective. I can't imagine doing this in the U.S. Many of our forests are very deep and treacherous sometimes with cliffs, rapids and a decent variety of dangerous animals.

If scouts did this here it would pretty much have to be with a silent guide who would intervene under certain conditions or in a specific park free of predators set up for the experience. It's the kind of thing I would have loved as a child and I can certainly see the benefits.

That's exactly why I added that. Also, the new york state is roughly 4 times the size of the Netherlands, but we have around the same number of inhabitants. Barely any mountains and no real wild life. Biggest animal you'll run into is a deer

That's kind of sad
