OMG...you are old!
Does anyone remember those 'clackers' or 'conkers': two glass balls joined with a long thick string. By waving your arm up and down you could clack them together....or throw them at your sibling and knock them out...LOL
Imagine trying to put out a toy like that today!!
Yes, thank you... The Saint starring Roger Moore. Unfortunately, I don't recall Danger Man.

I remember me and my buddies walking across the highway and in 10 minutes being surrounded by dense bush. Spending hours there, building tree forts, drinking pop, reading comic books, building traps to catch rabbits (no worries, we never did catch any). That's were I saw my first naked woman as my friend would sneak his Dad's Penthouse mags.
Now it is all gone and nothing but houses for as far as the eye can see.

There was a toy that originated in the Vancouver area called Yacka-Boochies, or something similar. There were actually named after John Iacobucci, who was I believe the sales manager of CKNW radio at the time.OMG...you are old!

Totally remember clackers, we were too poor to buy them so we use to make our own out of horse chestnuts & whip them at each other! (growing up with 3 older brothers!)
How about Parachute men and those balsa wood rubber band planes ... cap bottle rockets.
I recall the latter two! I forget how those pop bottle rockets worked, did they have a spring or something?
Brings back fond memories

I remember lawn darts & whipping them at my best friends.At halloween we use to make rifles outta pipe & fire crackers by putting pebbles in the pipe , lighting the fire cracker & shooting each other with it! The movie JackAss never had nothing on us when we were kids.
That reminds me of visiting friends of my mom's in Coquitlam. Her kids took us on a walk into the bush and forest where there was a giant tree sorta leaning over a ravine...of course there was a long rope with a knot on the end hanging from said tree and kids would take a run, grab the rope and swing over the ravine...rumour has it there was an 'accident' some years after....anyway, that is now subdivision.
I remember when: The smell of fish permeated the Steveston area ($$$) and we could climb the sand dunes dredged outta the Fraser river and dig holes and whatever...now a very polite little park...
Horse chestnuts! They made for awesome little weapons eh?
