obviously you dont want your kids playing near the punji traps or claymores. but digging the holes and sharpening the sticks for the traps is a good family project. And if you catch one of the petas or neonazis in the holes, its an excellent opportunity to teach problem solving skills, like where to separate the joints so that the captures are more easily transported to the pig pen. Its about working smarter, not harder. Then there is melting the fillings down into ingots and the grinding of the teeth to powder for the gardens. So many opportunities on a compound for family bonding.
