In \u003cem\u003eLessons from a Knucklehead\u003c\/em\u003e, Trebing revisits a world before cell phones, GPS, and helicopter parenting-when kids disappeared for hours, built forts in the woods, and somehow survived decisions that probably should've landed them in jail. At the center of it all is \u003cem\u003eThe Septagon\u003c\/em\u003e, a hidden, homemade fortress built from stolen scraps, questionable engineering, and pure teenage determination. What follows is a nonstop string of adventures, misadventures, and near-catastrophes: a bicycle trip, a reckless scavenger hunt, run-ins with the police, and enough bad judgment to make every parent in America nervous. Alongside his loyal band of co-conspirators, Trebing captures the chaos of growing up in an era where freedom came first, and consequences usually arrived later. The stories are outrageous, hilarious, and just self-aware enough to admit that almost every mishap started with someone saying, \"This is a great idea.\" But beneath the laughter is something real: a snapshot of a disappearing childhood-one filled with scraped knees, dumb risks, loyal friendships, and the kind of adventures that can only happen when nobody's watching. Funny, nostalgic, and wildly relatable, \u003cem\u003eLessons from a Knucklehead\u003c\/em\u003e is for anyone who survived growing up before common sense, social media, and parental tracking apps ruined all the fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Trebing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riddle Brook Publishing LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798996379200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrebing, Steve:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Steve Trebing is a serial entrepreneur, triathlete, and writer with a long history of exploration, adventure and-sometimes--misadventure.
