Why limit it to Dutch kids, why don’t we voluntarily lose all Dutch people?
It’s very fun! Used to do this every year on church camp, from 13 to 16 years old. Sometimes we walked from midnight till breakfast, taking drinks and snacks and Bluetooth speakers with us. The final year we even brought bottles of vodka and Bacardi.
My mom has been doing that for thirty years, but I always find my way back home!
We used to do this on school trips as well, it was awesome.
The Scout leaders send us a tikkie for having to rent a helicopter for this.
Yes, I will send a Tikkie to my daughter on her 18th Birthday for all the costs!
One of the more fun memories is when we went camping with our elementary school (I was 10 years old and it was 2001)
We got dropped in a forest in North Brabant, about 30 minutes away from camp. Ended up walking 3 hours and finally just walked up to a farm we saw in the distance.
It turned out we were pretty far in Belgium, fortunately not with a farmer of the Dutroux type. We used their phone and got picked up by a teacher, just in time for the barbecue going on.
This was great. My brother slept in the woods one time. He had fun regardless.
Oh, I now see that Jos Verstappen leaving Max at a gas station as the result of a bad performance by the latter was nothing but their culture. I will try to take that in consideration. We need more cultural relativism.
We’re not just sending Tikkies for birth, also for all other costs. Food, rent, schooling, everything. We have a big excel sheet adding all the costs together. From age 18 onwards, we’ll give them a monthly payment plan with interest
They have forests?
Obviously a lie, there are not forests in the Netherlands.
On my dropping when I was 11 we thought we had found the camp we were staying at because we saw a fire in the distance through the trees. When we eventually made it over there it turned out to be some place illegally camping. The whole dropping had parents and teachers dressed up to scare you, but finding that campsite was the scariest thing that happened that night.
The person who realized you can throw children parties for free by dumping them all in a forest for a night was named Parent of the Century in our country.
Try to do that in Sweden and the kids will never come back…
it saves on fuel for the drive home
Dropping is a lot of fun. I remember when my parents did that back when I was 10-12 years old. They would drive me and my friends blindfolded a couple villages over late in the evening and we’d then have to find our way back on foot. It was like a yearly adventure.
It wouldn’t be the same now everyone has a smartphone and gps now though.
I didn’t know droppings were specifically Dutch. Thought everyone did this
Surivorship bias at its finest
Lmao. Yes
Kids are expensive man, better drop em to feed the animals so they stay away from civilization
They’ve adopted the Turkish method of dealing and disciplining children, A B A N D O N M E N T.

(We made him order his own medal though.)
Hansel and Gretel Dutch version.
The love of Dutch parents is really special
