But to answer the thread topic, it wasn't really a forest focused or very physical labor but when I was 7 to 10 years old, back in Vietnam, I work on the countryside with my family and relatives there every Summer, harvesting wheat, playing with cattle like chickens, sheeps, goats, cows, etc.
Sometimes we go swimming in the river and collecting snails for the Lols.
Then later in the afternoon, we go kiting with the kids. Night, we have some delicious dinner like boiled chickens and muttons.
It was the best times of my life.
But now that I migrated to the U.S. The feelings of those times aren't attached to me anymore. Which is a shame but it is what it is.
