Alright, so I am on the hunt for some fun recreational "options" (toys, gear, activities, games etc.) when hanging with the boys, drinking and barbecuing meat. There will be no wives/girlfriends to nag about danger/stupidity etc.

I know that there are millions of games, gadgets, activities etc., so I am looking for some of the stuff that you guys do while camping, to pass the time while the meats cooking, or the rain is pinning you down.

In the past, we have crafted shoddy weapons, and attempted to put them to use. We also purchased some throwing knives, which was also fun, but a bit noisy considering we couldn't stick more than 60% of our throws. We are not very athletic, and we are all over 33 years old.

We are in Canada, and none of us have a gun licence, bike licence, or a degree in mechanics, so guns/motorcycles/car builds are out of the question. Also, this is only a two day camping trip, so even if we did have the financial means, tools, parts, and know-how, we still wouldn't have enough time to build a car, or modify an old car hahaha.

Bungees, potato cannons and zip lines can be fun but dangerous. "Hold my beer and watch this!"
 
hmmm, I like where this is going.....

Zip line target practice....

Or maybe crafting a shoddy slingshot out of bungee tie-downs....

I like it so far. Thanks!

OK ok ok ok, but I can't buy that russian bike for a reasonable price, so it's out of the question.

The homemade hover craft though......now THAT is sounding like a great idea.

It will be a two day camping trip, so we can spend some time building it, then some time riding it. only problem is that some of us might need two or three leaf blowers to get of the ground hahaha
 
Just googled it. Looks like great fun!

Too bad none of us have a gun licence.....

Step 1 of fun gadgets that people worry you might hurt yourself with: get gun permit or whatever is required to purchase a gun

Step 2 of fun gadgets that people worry you might hurt yourself with: get gun and ammo

Step 3 of fun gadgets that people worry you might hurt yourself with: watch a christmas story

Step 4 of fun gadgets that people worry you might hurt yourself with: shoot, and quote a christmas story to those who worry you'll shoot yourself.

I never did enjoy that movie. Maybe I was too young.

Anyways, we need to have fun, sans firearms.
 
Motorcycle!

Tell everyone to kiss your ass. Then hit the road!

I love beer and BBQ more than life itself. But I can tell you for a fact those are lame time-wasters compared to this:

And if the old lady is nagging to go along with you, that back seat comes off in about 42 seconds. Another minute for the passenger pegs. "Sorry honey..."
 
Watch the Jackass series....you'll get ideas
