Into The Wild With RON SWANSON | Parks and Recreation | Comedy Bites

[@konalily]

Two unforgettable moments was when Leslie asked Ron to run Pawnee National Park and the time Ron went on a Scottish adventure to the Lagavulin distillery thanks to Leslie Knope's incredible surprise.

[@mac_attack_zach]

[@czechoutboom1597]

@@Inhereflackin The surprise party wasn't as wholesome as Scotland or The national park. Sure, the outcome was wholesome, but the whole setup was made to make Ron anxious and overall distressed. If it was just Ann who would made Ron nervous, then sure, it would be fine, but since Leslie gave April the list of things to mess with Ron, it wasn't as wholesome as it could've been.

[@anonima4117]

I can agree with Ron on two things of this clip: 1.- not enough ppl have looked their dinner in the eyes and considered the circle of life. 2.- scouts should mainly teach you about how to really survive in the woods (although he could have made an ocasional game to keep the moral up)

[@ianoneill8392]

I’m an Eagle Scout and have worked at Scout camps. Scouts isn’t about survival skills, primarily or really much at all. That’s just not something that is at all relevant. Scouts is about teaching life skills. Chief among those being leadership. Camping and other outdoor activities simply serve as the catalyst. It puts the youths into a challenging situation where they need to work together to do well. And it’s fun. Because they’re still kids.

Interesting note: Ron used to keep his middle name and thus initials a secret. In the final scene he is immediately open with it. Shows that he’s more willing to accept people. Instead of immediate hostility he opted for starting with respect and going from there. Even before I noticed that detail, this is how I’ve tried to live ever since seeing that, even before but this scene perfectly encapsulates the vision.

[@ryancronwell6368]

Ron was actually trying to teach those kids valuable survival skills as opposed to just giving them a good time.

More to the point, typically municipalities have no ordinances against private citizens slaughtering animals provided they do so in a manner consistent with generally humane conditions of animal slaughter, and health codes for serving food generally only apply to businesses operating under a license to operate a restaurant. As such, Ron probably just should have said, "Ok, which ones?", because really there probably aren't laws against slaughtering a live animal and barbequing it in Pawnee.

The part of the song that they played even captures the feeling of loneliness Ron felt after everyone left him in the parks department, before starting a new chapter of life for himself.
