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. From Aiken's Short Laugh! |

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..... |
