Never a moment in a boys life like the first time he had to help qurter an elk and hall it out of the woods with his pa.

My boy and I split firewood together. He's a young boy and can't really split firewood but he likes swinging his hatchet.
We fish a lot and do woodworking projects together. Outside of that, we play. We fight, color and paint. I talk to them everyday about school and what they learned and who they played with.

Woodworking or wine making. Woodworking is good for teaching them to not be afraid of but have a healthy respect for power tools. Wine making is all about being okay with cleaning up after yourself and overall cleaning thing. 90% of winemaking is standing in front of a sink with hot water and sterilizer and about 10% pouring "stuff". Lots of fun. You get to feel accomplishment afterwards.

Regarding woodworking - I build a swing-set / kind of treehouse / slide thing with my son. We did it all together - from going online to find plans and looking for ideas, to going to home depot for the wood and tools and screws, to the measuring and cutting, to the going back to home depot because we got the wrong screws / forgot some tools / needed more wood. All in all took 3 full (morning to sunset) days. Was great.

Can't recommend this enough. I don't have a son yet, but nothing satisfied me quite as much as building my own rustic hardwood dining table, so that'll be my bonding ritual with my future son.
