Unwritten Rules

Man, this is exactly why I don't camp around other people.

If I wanted to be around people...I would have stayed in town.

My absolute number one rule! There is a special place in hell for these A$$H0L3S!:mad:

I also agree with the noise carries rule. Especially over bodies of water or large clearings, or when near large rocks/cliffs.

Never understood why people will drive hours into the mountains, party all night right next to me, then leave first thing in the morning and forget all there trash. Pisses me off. Especially when I have to settle for the least desirable spot, just to find out that the large group that just got there before me and took the most desirable spots, are gone in the morning.

That is enraging. Whenever i go hiking up grouse i end up coming back with my bag full of empty water bottles with hotel logos on them. Bastards. Please tell me where you live so i can crap on your lawn.
 
#13. Don't take a dump right next to the pleasantly flowing creek when I'm with a group of scouts and we're "roughing" it. I don't want to be tasting you're feces in my water bottle.

#14. Having two arms, half a brain, and a dull ax does not give you permission to kill half a dozen trees. If you need one, take one. Don't get halfway and decide to move a bit further up the path.
 
Garbage and broken glass really bother me. I hate it when people try to burn tins and leave them in the firepit. I really hate it when people throw cigarette butts in the public BBQs at parks. Hey - I enjoy a nice stogie now and again, but nobody wants your butt smoke on their hamburgers. Also cigarette butts on the ground everywhere. No they aren't as biodegradable as you thought.

#9 If your teenage kids go snooping around other peoples campsites at night, I will assume they are grownups there to rape my wife and pump hot stuff into their chest.

#10 If there are 20 spots in the campgrounds and 19 are free, don't pick the one next to me. I'm not your friend.

#11 Fire crackers are a big no no. I will return fire and I'm all out of bottle rockets.

#12 If there are kids around having fun and enjoying nature, don't be a drunk redneck cussing as loud as you can. I will assume that your father didn't beat enough respect into you when you were a child and finish the job for him.

:D We must be related, even distantly...

We camp waaaaay out in the National Forest. Only once did we have people pull up next to us to set up. Once we got done with our target shooting, they were gone. Must not have liked the noise. It was strange...

I have brandished a large, stout limb at drunken idiots on occasion. I try to do my camping away from most other people, but when I'm forced to camp near people, I always prepare. :) Can't stand idiots with no courtesy (or brains for that matter).

#5. Leave your campsite in the condition in which it was found, if not better. Take out everything you bring in. The site should not require any maintenance whatsoever prior to someone else using it.

I'm partial to doing the 1000 yard stare at intruders in my camp, all the while cleaving a slab of meat with my axe and wearing a "Humans, the other white meat" t shirt
 
I always thought these sentiments covered it pretty well...

"Remember we go to the wilderness as guests; this means we do NOT 1) Leave anything but footprints, taking nothing but pictures. 2) Defecate on the carpet. 3) Urinate in the sink. 4) Chop up the furniture. 5) Terrorize or otherwise harm the indigenous natives.". (Anon)

Has anybody else been reminded by some of these posts of the very old story about the Beam and the Moat ? (Sorry...)

I was raised by a Green Beret SFC so,:
If they know you are coming,
know you are there,
or know where you've been then,
:thumbdn: YOU LOSE!:thumbdn:
 
Don't sneak up on an occupied campsite at night, when its dark and quiet and the campfire has burned down. You might see a bright light directed your way ..... the muzzle flash of a .357 Magnum!


A standing tent with a nearby backpack and some other belongings lying around doesn't give one the right to search through those things. It's not an abandoned campsite. The occupant may be in the woods nearby adding to the nitrogen cycle or photographing the birth of a baby bigfoot.
 
anyone take great delight in freaking out other campers? maybe things like sneaking up at 0400 hours and leaving a 2 liter dry ice bomb next to each tent?

or maybe lobbing 5 bricks of M80s into their campfire, while they are asleep?

or maybe moving their camp stuff around....?

or maybe leaving a giant crucifix in standing in their fire, with a charred cloth mannequin barb wired onto the cross?

all my friends have leaned to NOT camp with me, they can never relax.....ahahhahhaa

Huge pet peeve of mine too. You went to camp in the woods because it's beautiful--not because it looks like a walmart parking lot.:mad:
 
Bushman we shall do well togher lol. I scared the scouts more then once after i found where they camped out. On the other side when friends tryed to scare me they got shoot with my pellet gun. Never run with the sky behind you. Some of you guys are nicely twisted. Sorry for the thread jack. Now back to the rules

Not guys I'd like to go camping with :eek: Yikes:thumbdn:

I'd be scared to get up and pee at night.


I have been tempted to fire a warning shot over their heads.

The thing I hate the most is when people do not clean up after themselves. I can deal with people making noise and drinking as long as they stay to themselves. Being from SoCal I think we have to deal with more people being in less areas so noise and crowds are the norm out here.
