"They always checked our IDs. The worst was at the train stations, but not in the woods. And if there was a campfire gathering somewhere, there were searches. Such a famous settlement was the Mickey Mouse settlement in Zlaté Hory. The guys there were kind of older, tough guys. And there, when there was a campfire gathering, it was a problem to get there, because the cops had already thrown you off the train here in Jeseník. There it was surrounded and they threw you off the train so you couldn't get there."

"There was a forest worker there, they called him Honza Čechoslovák. He had one or two horses. He always worked in the forest for a fortnight, pulling wood. Then he got money, so he went to the store, put in half of his salary, and spent the other half of his weekly salary on drinking in Cimbura, he always said in Cimbal. And going up there, there was a little hayloft just off the road, so he always went there to sleep on the hay or the gamekeeper found him somewhere in the woods, like in a ditch under the snow. He survived it all. When we got there, it depended on what era he was in. He lived there. Of course, he ate dogs, so there were dog skins all over the place, and we always buried them, cleaned them up. He was sober for a week, drinking for a week and working for two weeks."
