Camping 101

So, I went camping this weekend with my sister

and my friend, Mallery and discovered that

we're really bad at it....not the enjoying of it

but in the planning and packing for it.

So, for those of you who haven't gotten

much practice at camping and

tend to forget the essentials, I came up

with a few pointers for entertainment and

survival.

Take lots of really lame pictures.
Crank Coldplay in your car and engage in

some awesome interpretive dancing, which will

result in the guy across the way asking you to turn

down the devil music.

Use a hunting knife instead of a can opener,

since you forgot to pack one.
Crawl through the brush and pick marshmallow

roasting sticks that you can carve with the

aforementioned hunting knife

Climb trees for entertainment

Take hippie, tree-hugging portraits

Eat pinecones when you're hungry

Take more ridiculous pictures
Go for long walks into the sunset.... While drinking coffee that was

made over a pathetic fire

since we forgot propane for

our stove

Bribe the camp host into letting

you have some of his propane stash so you

can cook over a real stove

Go for nature hikes

Read about where all of the elk used

to live

and participate in some more interpretive

dancing (see sign)
