Camping Tips
-When using a public campground, a tuba placed on your picnic table will keep the campsites on either side vacant.
-Get even with a bear who raided your food bag by kicking his favorite stump apart and eating all the ants.
-Old socks can be made into high fiber beef jerky by smoking them over an open fire.
-A hot rock placed in your sleeping bag will keep your feet warm. A hot enchilada works almost as well, but the cheese sticks between your toes.
-While the Swiss Army Knife has been popular for years, the Swiss Navy Knife has remained largely unheard of. Its single blade functions as a tiny canoe paddle.
-Lint from your navel makes a handy fire starter. Warning: Remove lint from navel before applying the match.
-You can compress the diameter of your rolled up sleeping bag by running over it with your car.
-If you are on a tight budget, you can duplicate the warmth of a down-filled bedroll by climbing into a plastic garbage bag with several geese.
-In emergency situations, you can survive in the wilderness by shooting small game with a slingshot made from the elastic waistband of your underwear.
-Check the washing instructions before purchasing any apparel to be worn camping. Buy only those that read “Beat on a rock in stream.”
-Tent stakes come only in the quantity “N-1″ where N is the number of stakes necessary to stake down a tent.

One summer, a father took his son camping for the first time. At every opportunity, he passed along outdoor-survival lore. One day they got lost hiking in the deep woods. He tried the usual tactics to determine direction - moss on the trees (there was none), direction of the sun (it was an overcast day), etc., etc. Just as his son was beginning to panic, the father spotted a small cabin off in the distance. He pulled out his binoculars, studied the cabin, turned and led them right back to camp. "That was amazing," the son said. "How did you do it?" "Simple," the father replied. "In this part of the country all the TV satellite dishes point south."

These are actual comments left on U. S. Forest Service registration sheets and comment cards by backpackers completing wilderness camping trips:

"A small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call."
"Escalators would help on steep uphill sections."
"Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands."
"Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking sticks are more likely to chase animals."
"Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill."
"Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests."
"The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please move these annoying animals to another part of the park."
"Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights."
"Too many rocks in the mountains."
