camping

[Marroe]

Last time I went camping we slept in the back of a pick-up truck:D

Just don't forget some OFF spray!!!

I've never camped much...just never really had the oppertunity, which is ridiculous, considering where I live.
I have put some thought into it, and I have pondered riding my bike to a suitable location, preferably with a river in which to fish.
Take along my backpack with a fishing rod, some lures, a tent, sleeping bag, whatever...And of course, some packaged food, fire starting stuff and vegetables that would keep well.

I'd like to live of my own catches for a week, that'd be cool...humans are MORE THAN capable.

Until you realised you were no good at catching fish and starved :p

"Where you goin' city boy?"

Naw, I'm an ok fisherman...I caught a shark the first time I tried...not like, a BIG shark, but a shovel-nose...I could go along and wing it, seems easy.
Either way, I'd have packaged food to deal with...

I reckon I'd bring a book or ten along...

I've never been much of a fisherman myself.

I'd have to take some music along.

You should have a go at it...I hear you guys have pretty damn good fishing out your way.

anyone like to camp? im probably going this weekend

im not really into the 20 hours into the deep wilderness, no showers, no cell phone service type of deal.. but it would be fun to be outside, away from the electricity and such

:) buying a tent tomorrow, and bringing a sleeping bag, blankets, and some food. maybe some toiletries. im pretty much keepin it light

I'm not much of a camper. I don't know wat it is, I just don't like it. Maybe it's because whoever I have to sleep with usually ends up being a loud-ass snorer and keeps me up all night.

Also, ever since I've seen the Blair Witch Project, I've been a little intimidated to go into the woods. But, if its to catch a fuckin' witch, then I'm in!

Gren -

Definitely go and enjoy. I go all the time and just got back from three days in the Adirondacks. Lots of fun. The only advice I'd give is really think about everything you are going to carry into the campsite - do you really need it? or will it just be dead weight?

As for the woods, they can really be kind of creepy - I'm always afraid of bears wandering into our campsite - but its a cool kind of creepy.

enjoy!

I like to go camping

usually go into one of the swamps that aren't state park property with a few friends.

We don't have to worry about animals because the first thing we do after finding a good spot is walk out about a quarter mile in different directions and spread wolf urine around and it keeps the animals away. If that doesn't work or a bear(which could very easily rip a wolf to shreads) comes around we have a rifle, not for hunting just protection.

gren said something about not being able to take a shower...I just go in the river or under a waterfall.

I've heard that wolf urine works well on smaller animals (which would've stopped some chipmunks from eating through my food sack a few years back). In the Adirondacks they are now urging people to use Bear Cannisters (big plastic containers that bears, apparently, can't get into) because most of the ADK bears had figured out how to get down food bags that were hung in trees. Of course, a rifle would end that shit - but the park rangers probably wouldn't be too friendly!!
