Camping, What do we really know about it?

CAMPING TIPS: (NOT!)
----------------------------------
*A potato baked in the coals for one hour makes an excellent side
dish. A potato baked in the coals for three hours makes an excellent
hockey puck.

*You can start a fire without matches by eating Mexican food, then
breathing on a pile of dry sticks.

*In emergency situations, you can survive in the wilderness by
shooting small game with a slingshot made from the elastic waistband
of your underwear.

*The guitar of the noisy teenager at the next campsite makes
excellent kindling.

*A large carp can be used for a pillow.

*Check the washing instructions before purchasing any apparel to be
worn camping. Buy only those that read "Beat on a rock in stream."

*The sight of a bald eagle has thrilled campers for generations. The
sight of a bald man, however, does absolutely nothing for the eagle.

*It's entirely possible to spend your whole vacation on a winding
mountain road behind a large motor home.

*Effective January 1, 2005, you will actually have to enlist in the
Swiss Army to get a Swiss Army Knife.

*Bear bells provide an element of safety for hikers in grizzly
country. The tricky part is getting them on the bears.

*In an emergency, a drawstring from a parka hood can be used to
strangle a snoring tent mate.

Hey, I've a couple for you...

My son-in-law swears that if you forget to pack your fishing equipment, you can still have a fish dinner...just shoot the fish!! (Here in Kentucky we never leave home without our gun!) Sometimes, he says, you might get lucky and get two at a time this way. Oh, wait a second, I think he said two pieces

Another one he swears by is , ah.....well, maybe I better skip that one.

Darn! You mean I can't get a swiss army knife anymore!! I always wanted one of those...

And if you forget the toilet paper, DO remember "Leaves of three, let it be."

Ash in the food serves to give it that "Gritty trail taste"

Hehehe

Poison ivy and people hitting each other never looses its entertainment value, especially when camping with a group of teenage boys, who like to play a game called "Bankok" (you know, pronounced "bang-cock" ). I'll leave the rest up to your imagination...

When backpacking in the back country, you can go days at a time without seeing anybody, until you JUUUUst get comfortable for a call of nature.....
