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

Hell...I could LIVE in the woods...As long as I was near a river or a large creek...And a waterfall would REALLY kick ass!

Awww....I used to go camping alot when I was little....it was alot of fun :)

I wish that I was brave enough to go again now that I'm older...;)

the last time i went, i was in the 2nd grade :)

....come to think of it. that was also the first time i went. LOL

Yeah, that's probably about the time I went. I think if I went again...I wouldn't stay in a tent...I'd stay in...a camper or something. I'm way too chicken to stay out in the woods now :( I wanna be a kid again...I miss not having any worries!;) :o :p

o0o0o0 im going in a tent! buying one tomorrow.. a 2-4 person tent. me and my bf! ^_^

its pretty close by, not in the middle of nowhere or anything. so im not too worried.

Yeah, you'll be fine :) I'm sure it's gonna be alot of fun. Let me know how it goes! Maybe after I hear about your experience I'll get daring and attempt it again :)

welll... just dont go alone!!!

:) is THAT what ur talking about? witha nyone else i have no problem, but alone id crack in like a mi nute. i can barely be in the bathroom by myself

^_^

Oh hell no! I wouldn't be going alone :p

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.

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!!

Well like I said we go to swamps that aren't state park property, there aren't that many bears in the swamps anyway.

Small bears will stay away from the wolf urine and bears that have cubs will usually stay away from it as well.

When you're in a swamp the only thing you really have to worry about is alligators and snakes, all you have to do is keep away from a snake and he'll leave you alone eventually. Alligators usually just hang around water and if we run into one we just stop,back off ridiculously slow and after you've gotten a safe distance you can just turn around and walk away.

And of course if and only if all else fails we've got the rifles.

Slasher films start out that way.:D

I knew it was only a matter of time before somebody brought that up.

I was quite surprised that no one brought it up earlier.

I love to go camping. I could live in the woods, no phone, no TV.

Just me my Bowie knife and a loin cloth.:eek:

I love camping....Get out there, stock up on some wood.....Get a nice fire roaring...and just chill out, drink some beer...
awwww....nature at all it's greatest...:)

The closest thing I ever came to camping was going to that Yogi Bear camp resort when I was a kid. I got mosquito bites all over my body and there were trailers everywhere. It was just one big themed trailer park, it sucked.

I've been known to pitch one helluva BIG tent............in my pants!! :D

LMFAO. Drac you are quite possibly the horniest bastard I've ever known ;)

I'm 46 years old....ya should of seen me at 26.....hell on wheels!!! :D Lock up your daughters, sisters, mothers...no one's safe!!!! :p ;) :D

LOL! You're too much!!! ;) So damn funny :)

Do You mean Jelly stone national park in Ohio Pyle?I went camping there once, They got an enormous Yogi the bear statue.

There ya go, that one. Did you ever go in the swimming pool? Y'know, the one that's filled with leaves and urine? Yeah, that was awesome...

I went there when I was like 9ish on a field trip and the only fun I had was a huge water gun fight with the rest of my class.
