The Nordic concept of friluftsliv – outdoor life

I'm Canadian and when I was a child in the '80s, we absolutely just hopped on our bikes and wandered around without parental supervision.

I don't know how accurate it is, but there's this idea that child abductions and various other dangers (falling in an old well) in the late '80s, early '90s made parents more wary of letting their kids roam.

There was there Stranger Danger panic which of course was not based on anything substantial, but left lasting scars on society.

I strongly recommend the episode of the same name on the You're Wrong About podcast.

I was born in the early nineties in Quebec and we did just the same.

Then I got into computers and didn't see the light for a few years.
