My father built us a Headquarters out of wood blocks cut to length and angles together, which was then nailed and glued to a thin piece of plywood. The "jail" inside was a plain yellow margarine tub glued down to the plywood with the bottom cut off! My brother and I LOVED this HQ and used it for years and years.
Also, anytime we got a chicken or turkey in one of those red mesh nets, my mom would wash it thoroughly for us and my brother and I would use it as a capture net.

We had a big ass yard, lived in the country, so small ditches / streams were canyons; had a drainage pipe I used to flood w/ a house that was a river basin; had a fisher price blue table that had blue chairs w/ a little cubby on the back that were guard towers; under the couch were always catacombs or caverns; white sheets were snow scapes / arctic scenes; stuffed animals piled up would be big mountains; used thread spools were always military containers; my dad always gave me burnt out cylinder fuses from his car which were always Plutonium tubes for Cobra..

Had a lot of bricks in my backyard to make ruins, and best of all; a tree stump. Best volcano base ever.

Speaking of food related items, there used to be a restaurant that put all their carry out orders in a barn shaped box. Had the loft details on the outside of the box and everything. |

The styrofoam that large boxes had in them with appliances made for great headquarters and snow bases.

I tied fishing line to each of my rifles so my joes could sling them over their shoulder when they were riding in a vehicle, or needed their hands free.

I remember the pizza hut table. Never used one as it but I remember thinking it would. I used to think how good places would be for joe forts when driving down the street.
