RE: New camper tips

New to the whole camping experience? Try these 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.
 
 ~ When smoking a fish, never inhale.
 
 ~ 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.
 
 ~ The best backpacks are named for national parks or mountain ranges.
 
 ~ Steer clear of parks named for landfills.
 
 
 
 ~ While the Swiss Army Knife has been popular for years, the Swiss Navy Knife has remained largely unheralded. Its single blade functions as a tiny canoe paddle.
 
 ~ Modern rain suits made of fabrics that " breathe"  enable campers to stay dry in a downpour. Rain suits that sneeze, cough, and belch, however, have been proven to add absolutely nothing to the wilderness experience.
 
 ~ Lint from your navel makes a handy fire starter. Warning: Remove lint from navel before applying the match.
 
 ~ You ll never be lost if you remember that moss always grows on the north side of your compass.
 
 ~ You can duplicate the warmth of a down-filled bedroll by climbing into a plastic garbage bag with several geese.
 
 ~ When camping, always wear a long-sleeved shirt. It gives you something to wipe your nose on.
 
 ~ You can compress the diameter of your rolled up sleeping bag by running over it with your car.
 
 
 
 Happy Camping!
