its a great book i have it and me and my dad do so many things in this book im a huge fan of video games but i like bushcraft and things like bear grylls ray mears hunting so i defonatly rekomend this book :):)
This Book Rocks! My son and I are working through it cover to cover. It's an education within itself. Grammer lessons, history, geography, Science, and Bushcraft. FANTASTIC!!!!!
Would you rather the kid not know how to do these things at all or look at a well written and crafted book, so that they can know how? Shut your face!
The fact that you were so strapped for ammunition that you were forced to make a personal attack is pretty pathetic. You look like you're twelve. At least my videos contribute to society and don't waste everyone's time with stupidity.
I just love the books! I need two more books and then I've completed the dangerous book for boys collection. I need the pocket dangerous book for boys things to do and the dangerous book for boys yearbook.
i think the music didn't suit the book. It's not "dangerous," per se, i just think it's a really good book for boys who don't know how to have fun away from a screen (The foreword of the book was really good). this is pretty funny though.
i got this book, and im "one of those" (by that i mean i play at least 1 hour of PC every day) and this book possibly just saved the rest of my childhood!! this book really tells you what it means to be a child, and with the number of games and contraptions in this book, you NEVER get bored!
its a book made to get boys to stop play video games all their childhood and get outside and KICK SOME ASS!!!! where else are you gonna find a book that teaches you how to make a pocket light and make a go-cart at the same time!
I plan on buying this book for my son, nephews, AND my niece. I looked into the "girl's" version, "The Daring Book for Girls" and thought it was way too watered down. As a woman, I feel that a well rounded girl can be equally comfortable being a princess or a pirate as the mood strikes. The Dangerous book seems like a lot more fun!
Now this looks like a cool book. Luckily i grew up in the 80s and spent my time exclusively in the streets and fields, but over 20 years in should really get off my ass and get back to that good stuff, the real stuff. Enough YouTube for now, ENOUGH i say! ;)
and also to joleneo, by implying that you are engage in any form of feminism, you yourself are being very sexist because never in my life have i heard of a male activist and i'm sure that if you met him you would find him to be "repulsively" sexist. why is it that just because women back in the day didnt have the same rights as men doesnt imply that you have the right to flaunt around as a feminist who complains anytime someone shares a belief that is slightly different from you own. get a life.
i've got both books, they both have very nifty projects and games in them....to everyone who had very heated arguements about: you're being rediculous, if you are going to argue about this then you might as well try to report any parent who buys their son a toy car or their daughter a barbie to child services for try to force a certain few on they're child or call the school systems politically not correct for having male and female bathrooms. thank u.
I thought it was well good. i got this book for my bd and its great. its not sexist cus theres a girls one aswell. and its not felsulls fault ether. if youve got a problem write to the authors!
Don't write to OR about me anymore. I am done with all the chauvinists as well as the retards who don't even understand the discussion, yet feel compelled to "contribute" to it. Your comments are not welcome, and I do not wish to hear from you, or see my name/screenname/any allusion to me on here, as I am opting out of this [completely retarded] discussion. Go live your cute little chauvinistic lives and beat your wives. I'm done.
lol, very funny. The worlds source of initial conflict is that people are not "equal" and that, in fact , every single person is genetically different. A stereotype is nothing more then a "average".
Nice cop-out by the way . How very 2000-ish , start a fight and run. Way to go sweetie.

so i'm female and i've been reading the past comments and i understand what you're saying about it being sexist and giving the wrong idea but its their PARENTS responsibility to teach them that they dont have to follow these stereotypes, and their parents are under no obligation to buy the book
and once they reach a certain age, they know that even though it says "for boys" or "for girls" they can still read the one for the opposite sex
i also wanted to say that calling people chauvinists and wife beaters is ridiculously rude and its a really serious accusation. no wonder no one is respecting your opinions. and you may say that you werent serious but that's almost worse, by joking about it it makes it seem more okay. like it can be taken as a joke. and arent you supposed to be agaisnt sexism? well, husbands can be abused too. its not just wives.
Maybe because this has the word "boys" on the cover is maybe because boys are too violent nowadays and lazy and to attract them to this book, they stick the word on there. I hope they're not trying to be sexist, but are trying to get younger males to get off their butts and do something. I mean, how many kids are always watching T.V, Snacking, and not doing anything all day? Alot! So, at least putting the book out there, will generate an idea to younger males.
I saw this book in my local meijer store, big red cover, and it made me stop, but i think the word that caught me was "Dangerous"... right next to it was a green book the same style but "girls" was big in the middle. so the only sexist thing was your remark... this looks like a good parent book, something to be read with a child... not just thrown at them to distract. flamer...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not at all. It is the depiction of girls in this book. How would YOU like it if they wrote a book for girls that said "Now remember, in the company of boys, you must use small words so as not to confuse them"?
I never said it couldn't be a great book. I am arguing the fact that they made it specifically for BOYS, excluding not only the girls, but also the boys who like to partake in other activities.
Not to mention, it paints a picture of girls being helpless and pathetic. Great lesson to teach boys.
LEMME PUT IT THIS WAY, AND LISTEN DAMN STRAIGHT GOOD - IT'S A FREE FKING COUNTRY AND THEY CAN NAME THE FKING BOOK WHATEVERTHEFUCK THEY WANT! DO YOU GET IT NOW?!
*ps* sorry for using harsh language, it just seems to be the only way to get the fking point across to her.
Hey guess what- it's a "free fking country" and I have every right to voice my opinion on how sexist it is (and harmful to BOTH sexes) to make a book about this stuff and say its only for boys!
You've completely missed the point on everything I've said so just shut the f*&%$ up already, you don't know what you're talking about. At all.
You do realize that about up till the 1920's that women were considered lesser beings right?! AND NOW HERE YOU ARE, COMPLAINGING ABOUT A BOOK?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?! Seriously, you're so pathetic it makes me want either scream/cry or use a string of bad words that would prolly get me fking arrested. You do realize that you were the one who LOOKED UP the book, YOU didn't HAVE to navigate to this page, YOU chose to. Just keep your nose in your own shit, got that?
Yeah, listening to you, I really don't wonder why. Personally, I don't hate girls, Im just saying, you could just leave any time, and I wouldn't have to be bothered and neither would you. When YOU argue points, it's not gonna do anything, they can't make the book illegal across the globe.
Face it - it's pointless.
And also, I haven't been on this vid for a year, but you had to drag me back.
Um, okay? So you're pissed that I have an opinion... how gentlemanly of you :)
When did I ever say my "goal" was to have the book banned across the globe? Don't put words in my mouth, esp. when you can't even wrap you little mind around what I've said thus far.
women will continue to be treated like lesser beings as long as the watch Oprah, and hit from the "girls tees". Equal? Sure doesn't seem like it. Not while they continue to demand men compete with 1 arm, 1 leg, and their balls cut off. Yea. That ALMOST makes women equal. 'cept their hysteric over emotionality...
It doesn't make sense to you because you are not a male. Every other man reading this knows perfectly well what I am pointing out. Women in the US (and other westernized countries) are the most pampered and entitled animals on the planet. You want equal? Try going in to combat some time. Less than 1% of all war fatalities are women.
1huskerd, I am a male and I must say I disagree with you strongly. Of course there are biological differences between males and females, but because our environment has changed so drastically from that of our ancestors, most of these differences are irrelevant. Also, I wish there were no male or female combat fatalities.
I agree "jo". I am a woman and have this book for my boys. What is wrong with little boys reading a book that teaches them how to how to play stickball? You are ridiculous. Fucking Feminists. I hate them.
You don't even know what feminism is. And you're a WOMAN. WTF?! Besides, you've completely missed the point in this whole discussion, which doesn't surprise me since you aren't smart enough to learn what feminism is about..
xchn1, your misogynistic insult is quite disappointing. I assume you are using distasteful ad hominem attacks because you no longer have any good arguments to support your position.
I dont mean to be racist but it's kinda funny how the dad's white and the kid looks almost chinese. Again, really don't mean to be racist, just pointing it out.
perhaps, just perhaps, it is an indicator that the father had an attraction for women of color, and/or a repulsion to white middle class women. Just a possibility that he'd grown sick of the entitlement mentality of the typical white middle class american wench with an overblown sense of self importance.
Um, I'm a girl and I did all that stuff when I was a kid. I think this book is ridiculously sexist, especially since it advises boys to carry a handkerchief to "offer to a girl when she cries" and to help girls without making them feel stupid.
Yeah, we girls are just too dumb and/or prissy to partake in these activities or even do things on our own without boys' help! Great lesson, there.
love youtube for this kind of videos :)))) but still, I think I'm swtiching to GAGLA dot com, its got videos and cool profile editing features, you guys should check it out....
Wow!! who would have know the celabration of being a boy would cause so much emotion... sounds like some folks out there have some "gender" problems. All my boys will get a copy.. and if my daughters want to sneak a peek I am sure they will be allowed. Get OVER yourselves people!! As a woman I am embarrased over the women complaining about this... there IS a difference between boys and girls!! WHO CARES celebrate it!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes, there is a difference: boys have penises and girls have vaginas. As a woman, I am embarrassed that you are defending this chauvinist crap. Good luck getting your boys to see women as equals.
Although I liked the book and there is stuff in it you won't find elsewhere, I was rather (happily) surprised to discover that my old Boy Scout Handbook not only covers a lot of similar material, but much more.
gimme a break. its written for boys because our feminist culture is trying to PREVENT boys from being boys. this book reinforces the excitement of building bows and arrows, catapults, and other assorted entertainments that girls NEVER consider doing on their own.
Boys excel at math because they like balls and arrows and airplanes (things that go thru the air). Spatial calculations!
The feminist movement has emasculated boys to the point where we are not allowed to make noise, run , jump, and just be "boys". We are told we have ADD and ADHD and given drugs to pacify us, instead of allowing us to be the rambunctious, aggressive, loving, boys we are meant to be. I think any book that gives permission for boys to be boys is good. I'm sorry they felt the need to call it "Dangerous" instead of "Necessary".
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh my god, that is the most retarded thing I've ever read. I don't even know which part to correct first.
I LOVED those kinds of activities when I was a girl. This book teaches girls to be ashamed if they want to do "boy" things IN ADDITION TO teaching boys to be ashamed for NOT liking such activities. You are perpetuating gender stereotypes. Grow up!
The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men by Christina Hoff Sommers
She asserts that the feminist movement has advocated successfully for the educational system to attempt to restructure the natural development of boys
and has fostered an educational agenda that includes "resocializing boys in the direction of femininity."
Boys-Girls-blah-blah-> What if thats written for boys, cause the author thinks girls are clever enough to figure out all that stuff without a book? Anyhow. I like it.
I forgot to mention in my last posting the next book I'm writing is titled, "Travel Fun For Caucasions." It shouldn't be a problem, right? Since "everyone" can enjoy the book and its contents?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What year was this written, guys? My daughter was upset after seeing it at the bookstore and then saying, "But this is for boys." Also, I was just curious to see if girls truly wouldn't have interest in the book as is expressed by the author...then I found out a local Brownie troop leader has taken ideas from the book and the girls are having a blast. Had they handed them the book those girls would have felt second best. You could have at least picked a different title....Boys.
Oh please, the only reason places like Curves exist is so women can work out in peace without men trying to hit on them or take a peek into the women's locker room. If most men could act mature, we would be able to work out together.
the only reason places like Curves exist is so women can hide their cottage cheese ass. if most women were mature, they wouldn't be so obsessed with their looks.
Come on JO!! look into the real reason Curves exists!! It is okay with you to have female only things... just no male only things. That is a double standard, last I looked!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You mean like how men are encouraged to sleep with as many women as possible, and yet women are sluts if they simply enjoy sex?
Or do you mean it's more like how women's bodies are under constant scrutiny in the media, yet the men are rarely judged (and definitely not called "fat" for not having a six-pack)?
i have the book it isn't the best book in the world though but you can buy the book at costco thats where i bought mine there was like 80 copies at costco!
Ok, first of all, I would just like to point out, It isn't sexist, I mean, Do you really think that if I went and asked a girl if she wanted to make a bow and arrow that she would want to? Nah, but anyways, girls can buy this book, there's lotsa good stuff in it. I bought the book 2 days ago and I love it... sadly Im on vacation witout my dad, soz I cant really make a bow atm...
Guys get a book on how to have fun and enjoy life, and girls get books on how to manipulate said guys. Who's getting the short end of the stick here? Seriously, though, have you been to a book store and seen how many "how to be a bitch" and "how to be a girl and get what you want" manuals are out there?
Great book. I do agree, you do need materials. But, i bet there is a lumber store somewhere that you could get wood.

You do realize that about up till the 1920's that women were considered lesser beings right?! AND NOW HERE YOU ARE, COMPLAINGING ABOUT A BOOK?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?! Seriously, you're so pathetic it makes me want either scream/cry or use a string of bad words that would prolly get me fking arrested. You do realize that you were the one who LOOKED UP the book, YOU didn't HAVE to navigate to this page, YOU chose to. Just keep your nose in your own shit, got that?

And because of books like this (and dicks like YOU) women are STILL being treated like lesser beings.
joleneo 4 years ago
Yeah, listening to you, I really don't wonder why. Personally, I don't hate girls, Im just saying, you could just leave any time, and I wouldn't have to be bothered and neither would you. When YOU argue points, it's not gonna do anything, they can't make the book illegal across the globe.
Face it - it's pointless.
And also, I haven't been on this vid for a year, but you had to drag me back.

Um, okay? So you're pissed that I have an opinion... how gentlemanly of you :)
When did I ever say my "goal" was to have the book banned across the globe? Don't put words in my mouth, esp. when you can't even wrap you little mind around what I've said thus far.

women will continue to be treated like lesser beings as long as the watch Oprah, and hit from the "girls tees". Equal? Sure doesn't seem like it. Not while they continue to demand men compete with 1 arm, 1 leg, and their balls cut off. Yea. That ALMOST makes women equal. 'cept their hysteric over emotionality...

That didn't even make sense. Besides, no one wants to hear from you, wife beater.
joleneo 4 years ago
It doesn't make sense to you because you are not a male. Every other man reading this knows perfectly well what I am pointing out. Women in the US (and other westernized countries) are the most pampered and entitled animals on the planet. You want equal? Try going in to combat some time. Less than 1% of all war fatalities are women.
1huskerd 4 years ago
1huskerd, I am a male and I must say I disagree with you strongly. Of course there are biological differences between males and females, but because our environment has changed so drastically from that of our ancestors, most of these differences are irrelevant. Also, I wish there were no male or female combat fatalities.

I agree "jo". I am a woman and have this book for my boys. What is wrong with little boys reading a book that teaches them how to how to play stickball? You are ridiculous. Fucking Feminists. I hate them.

I dont mean to be racist but it's kinda funny how the dad's white and the kid looks almost chinese. Again, really don't mean to be racist, just pointing it out.
Plozen 4 years ago
well, that observation is racist.
what was the purpose of you pointing it out?
perhaps, just perhaps, it is an indicator that the father had an attraction for women of color, and/or a repulsion to white middle class women. Just a possibility that he'd grown sick of the entitlement mentality of the typical white middle class american wench with an overblown sense of self importance.
1huskerd 4 years ago
Ok... Huh? Im just saying... Lol...
Plozen 4 years ago
Yeah, and that's not racist...
joleneo 4 years ago
Um, I'm a girl and I did all that stuff when I was a kid. I think this book is ridiculously sexist, especially since it advises boys to carry a handkerchief to "offer to a girl when she cries" and to help girls without making them feel stupid.
Yeah, we girls are just too dumb and/or prissy to partake in these activities or even do things on our own without boys' help! Great lesson, there.
joleneo 4 years ago
wow... get over yourself man.
Lemme put it these way:
How would you feel if the boy taunted you when you needed help?
You prolly wouldn't like it
What if he courteously helped without making himself sound like a smartass? You'd prolly like that ALOT better.
Dude, trust me, lots of people woulda done all the crap in that book. Good god woman, get over yourself.

Yes, there is a difference: boys have penises and girls have vaginas. As a woman, I am embarrassed that you are defending this chauvinist crap. Good luck getting your boys to see women as equals.

Although I liked the book and there is stuff in it you won't find elsewhere, I was rather (happily) surprised to discover that my old Boy Scout Handbook not only covers a lot of similar material, but much more.

gimme a break. its written for boys because our feminist culture is trying to PREVENT boys from being boys. this book reinforces the excitement of building bows and arrows, catapults, and other assorted entertainments that girls NEVER consider doing on their own.
Boys excel at math because they like balls and arrows and airplanes (things that go thru the air). Spatial calculations!
1huskerd 4 years ago 5
The feminist movement has emasculated boys to the point where we are not allowed to make noise, run , jump, and just be "boys". We are told we have ADD and ADHD and given drugs to pacify us, instead of allowing us to be the rambunctious, aggressive, loving, boys we are meant to be. I think any book that gives permission for boys to be boys is good. I'm sorry they felt the need to call it "Dangerous" instead of "Necessary".

Oh my god, that is the most retarded thing I've ever read. I don't even know which part to correct first.
I LOVED those kinds of activities when I was a girl. This book teaches girls to be ashamed if they want to do "boy" things IN ADDITION TO teaching boys to be ashamed for NOT liking such activities. You are perpetuating gender stereotypes. Grow up!

The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men by Christina Hoff Sommers
She asserts that the feminist movement has advocated successfully for the educational system to attempt to restructure the natural development of boys
and has fostered an educational agenda that includes "resocializing boys in the direction of femininity."

What year was this written, guys? My daughter was upset after seeing it at the bookstore and then saying, "But this is for boys." Also, I was just curious to see if girls truly wouldn't have interest in the book as is expressed by the author...then I found out a local Brownie troop leader has taken ideas from the book and the girls are having a blast. Had they handed them the book those girls would have felt second best. You could have at least picked a different title....Boys.

A tip: Even though the title says "for boys," I'm pretty sure you can buy it and read it to pretty much anyone.

Oh please, the only reason places like Curves exist is so women can work out in peace without men trying to hit on them or take a peek into the women's locker room. If most men could act mature, we would be able to work out together.

You mean like how men are encouraged to sleep with as many women as possible, and yet women are sluts if they simply enjoy sex?
Or do you mean it's more like how women's bodies are under constant scrutiny in the media, yet the men are rarely judged (and definitely not called "fat" for not having a six-pack)?
