Going out on a camping trip? Check out these unusual tips before you go!

Through years of experience it has been proven that a camper can never have too much information. As a result, the following camping tips are offered to everyone from newbies to veterans with the idea of enhancing your camping experiences.

It is entirely possible to spend your entire vacation on winding mountain roads stuck behind a large motorhome.

The guitar from the noisy kid in the next campsite makes excellent kindling.

Check the washing instructions on all clothing before buying for a camping trip. Buy only clothes that read ” Beat on rock in stream.”

A potato baked in the coals for one hour makes a great side dish. A potato baked in the coals for three hours makes a great hockey puck.

In emergency situations, you can survive in the wild by shooting small game with a slingshot made from the elastic in your underwear.

Bear bells provide an element of safety for campers in bear country. The tricky part is getting the bears to wear them.

You can start a fire without matches by eating Mexican food, then breathing on dry sticks.

A large carp makes a great pillow.

The sight of a bald eagle has thrilled campers for ages. The sight of a bald man, however, does nothing for the eagle.

In the event of an emergency, the drawstring from a parka can be used to strangle a snoring tent mate.

Hope you enjoyed the giggles. Now get out in the wild and have fun!

    Ms. Tuller, as a veteran camper, i liked this!!!!! first, how did you take that guitar from the kid, hope it didn’t hurt!! second, to ward of a bear, flash a picture of Joan Rivers. and, if we are ever camping together, don’t bother looking for your parka drawstring, it won’t be there!! Ms. Tuller, thank you, i really did need a laugh, i only wished it was longer.

    I lol-ed! Clever and cute, even though I’m not much of a camper. I’m way too girly girl, lol! My mom and I tried camping once, found a huge spider in the restroom/shower building an hour after we arrived, and packed up and left for a hotel room immediately, LOL!!!
