i'm going camping in less than two weeks. what do you like to do while camping? got any good camping stories?
A few months ago a friend of mine, who is an up-and-coming nature photographer, decided to spend a day and night alone in the woods outside of our town. She wanted to get photos of the woods and wildlife as naturally as she could for her portfolio. She wasn’t afraid of being alone, as she had camped by herself many times before. She set up a tent in the middle of a small clearing and spent the day taking pictures. She filled up four rolls of film on that trip, but when she went and got them developed she saw four pictures that unsettled her, these four pictures were taken from inside the tent, of her, asleep in the middle of the night.
Camping can be a lot of fun when the cops dont show. I enjoy eating mushrooms while walking in the woods like im in the matrix.
whoa is that story real? if so, that is creeepy! Camping would be an awesome opportunity for photography, though...maybe once I get my new camera, that's what I'll do with it
Yikes!!! That's scary. ----------Last time our family went camping ,whatever anyone needed --I had it--and they didn't. Grampa was on top of it.
I've camped recently, but nothing compares to camping underneath a waterfall in Shawnee National Forest at 17 with friends, a cooler full of older sibling bought beer, half an ounce, and the ability to play capture the flag without feeling too lame.
taking pictures is a lot of fun. i will take plenty. i love bird watching and people watching. my favorite part of the day.. oddly enough .. is the morning. everything is cold and still waking up.
Well,I hate to play big-dog-little dog,but camping on the big Island of Hawaii with a hundred hits of window pane beats any old waterfall on the main land. Sorry about that.
I camped in Honolulu when I was about 6 with my parents. They warned me about Mongoose and while I was trying to sleep my sisters made me think they were circling my tent... That's when I started drinking milk... I showed THEM later on.
psychedelics are perfect for camping. but if that's not your thing... there's this one spot i like where you can walk up a stream that is many small waterfalls. so much fun in the summer to walk in the water. swimming. having a fire and cooking in it (veggies and meat wrapped in tin foil, straight in the coals)
True story: We went camping this one time in the white mountain national forest when I was with the boy scouts. when it got dark we decided to take refuge in an old watch tower which stood atop a group of mountains known as the three sisters. The tower itself must have stood at least 30 feet tall and when the wind hit gale force the tower began to sway There was no chance of it blowing over because the supports were drilled well into the granite bedrock (good ole new hampshire granite) but with every gust of wind it felt as if we were about to tip over – I swear it was the most frightening night of my entire life Hotwater
I like drinking whiskey around a campfire and playing music. you just can't beat that. exploring is always fun. I like to find different types of vegetation.
xwife, friend and i went backpack camping in pa. fairly long hike in-mountainous 'in the pennsylvania way'...lots of rock, steep trails, but not 'nose bleed elevation', like colorado or other places. set up tents near top of an 80 foot water fall. ate supper, drank some wine...shared a doobie. we moved over near the edge of the water fall to watch the water sprinkle out into space. xwife and i had been there before, and were showing our friend the place...the sun was setting, and the drops would sparkle as they went out from the rock ledge...like watching a kaleidoscope. we were pretty out of it...relaxed and tired, a little high. just mumbling silly shit and laughing....listening to the hiss of the water.... two hands appear over the top of the rock falls....and then a guy's head. scared the screaming shit out of us. rock climber. climbs the falls a few times every year. nice guy, after he got used to the smell of 3 people who shit their pants.
