[pct-l] Camping Silliness for the first day of Spring

HELPFUL CAMPING TIPS (plus a few random philosophical thoughts):

When using a public campground, a tuba placed on your picnic table will
keep the campsites on either side vacant.

Get even with a bear who raided your food bag by kicking his favorite
stump apart and eating all the ants.

A hot rock placed in your sleeping bag will keep your feet warm. A hot
enchilada works almost as well, but the cheese sticks between your toes.

The best backpacks are named for national parks or mountain ranges.
Steer clear of those named for landfills.

Acupuncture was invented by a camper who found a porcupine in his
sleeping bag.

Lint from your navel makes a handy fire starter.  Warning: Remove lint
from navel before applying the match.

You'll never be lost if you remember that moss always grows on the north
side of your compass.

You can duplicate the warmth of a down-filled bedroll by climbing into a
plastic garbage bag with several geese.

When camping, always wear a long-sleeved shirt. It gives you something
to wipe your nose on.
