MrWally Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 So: In two days I'm driving for 8 hours up to the woods in northern Wisconsin, far past the reaches of normal civilization, past beyond the cities, the people, the factories, hell, I've never even seen a building out there that wasn't made out of logs. I'm going to be spending 3 weeks in the middle of the wilderness at a place called Blaire lake going hiking, canoeing, and rock climbing. I'm not bringing any electronics whatsoever besides my camera and a flashlight (torches start forest fires ) and probably won't see any other human being (outside of those I'm camping with) for a full 3 weeks. And I can't wait. So I started wondering, does anyone else have any fun/scary/insane camp/camping stories to share? I can definately think up a few. Like the time during camp when my friend stumbled upon a trailer out in the middle of the woods filled with dead animals, sharp objects (axes and knives), and still fresh food sitting on the table O_o And there was the time I woke up only to find there was a black bear rummaging around just outside my cabin Do any of you have stuff to share?

milo Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 One time, I was out camping, when I heard this noise outside the tent, so I looked outside to see what it was, and it was this huge fricking grizzly bear, and it tried to maul me, but I was too quick, and I whipped out my hunting knife and I sliced its paw off, and it started to run away, so I started chasing it, and it ran down the mountainside, and I chased after it, and when I caught up to it, I gouged its eyes out, and then I snapped its neck with my bare hands, and by that time it was dead, so I skinned the whole damn thing and made myself some sort of shaman warrior chieftan bear cloak type thing.

El Sitherino Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'm tempted to make an erection joke by referencing that I pitch a "tent" every morning, however that'd be crude. Anyway, I go camping usually every summer. This one, not so much, been a bit busy straightening some things out in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I camp alot. I've yet to see an electronic torch, but anyway...The last time I went camping, the entire state was under a burn ban, so the local officals kinda frowned on my bonfire. They were kind enough not to fine/jail me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagobahn Eagle Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah, I did it once. I killed eleven PLAN soldiers with my machine gun, but then the server admin kicked me:D. Seriously, though, we went on this school trip once that involved spending a night in a tipi up in the mountains. We rode bikes loaded up with way too much stuff along a scenic railway, admiring the views. It was awesome. We were supposed to go on this trip to the same area with school in the winter. We would hike up into the snowy wastes and dig snow caves to sleep in. But the trip was cancelled as too few people signed up. Back then it seemed like madness, but in hindsight, I wish I had signed up and that the trip hadn't been cancelled. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Obi-Wan Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'm going camping from July 31 - August 10. Just to British Columbia. I don't mind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joetheeskimo Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I only have the chance to go camping once every year - in August, all other times everyone in my family is busy. Real camping too - the kind where you pitch a tent and have to gather firewood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Oh I love "real camping", while I'm staying in a cabin for most of my trips, we are going to go backpacking for several days, most likely. omgomgomg I'm gonna be there in 24 hours!!!!

Dath Maximus Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 "Battle" haha, I can imagine Dath bursting out of his cabin/tent with an AK47 blasting the **** outta a horde of raccoons charging down the mountain side. Are you stalking me? And it be a tent. Always camp in the primitive area armed with a knife, hatchet, and 9mm. Occastionally I'll leave piles of cheetos out near the campfire, and in the middle of the night, I'll break out the 13 million candle power spot light I have. The looks of fear on those coons eyes.

MrWally Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 hahahaha!! If there is one thing I have learned from my 8 years of camping, Cheetos make GREAT fuel for fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samnmax221 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I much prefer either camping by myself, or with a family member who isn't a bumbling moron. Having gone on several Boy Scout camping trips way back, I'll never d it again. Going camping with the Scouts is like going camping with the biggest drunk in town 30 times over. I hate camping. But I go camping with Cadets (it's excactly like the army but for "minors". Even back when I still was in a Jrotc organization, there were very few in my unit I would have considered going camping with, the mental stability of these people is less than ideal. Other then that I love camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 I for one welcome our new cuddly killer overlords. *gasp!* BLASHPHEMER!!! HE'S ONE OF THEM! So it's 11:30 and I'm still packing. Hmmm. I have to wake up at 5 to get there, I'm not looking towards much sleep, am I O_o But it's sooo gonna be worth it ^_^ Right in the beginning we're going on a 5 day hike up the mountains (while carrying a dufflebag filled with all our gear... and some of the slopes are 45+ degrees... good thing I've been training). Then I believe we're just going to spend the next few days camping up there, and once we get back down we're going to go on a 4 day canoe trip, going from lake to river to lake back to the main camping site. Then I think we're going to backpack out into the woods for a bit, and from then on I'm not really sure. Oh god it's gonna be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having gone on several Boy Scout camping trips way back, I'll never d it again. Going camping with the Scouts is like going camping with the biggest drunk in town 30 times over. I went on a 3 day canoe trip down the Green River with my scout troop a few years ago. It was a nightmare. I was covered in so much insect repellent, I could peel it off like a layer of skin. And I still got eaten alive. It was terrible. I haven't done anything with the scouts since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dath Maximus Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Tyrion was just touched by raccoons a lot in naughty places. He has been too traumatized to know they are evil. And have fun camping guy who started this thread whose name I've forgotten and am too lazy to scroll up 1 inch to see your name. Watch out for the coons.
