blood fart Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I have 2 "camping" trips so far planned for this summer. One is at a 4-day German metalfest. The other is on the beaches of Italy. I'm bringing weed, pillows, sandwiches and Mezzo Mix. <-----not into "roughing it" but real into tent sleeping, swimming and bonfires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire15 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I dont know. The animals dont really bother me. Ill def. be bringing a tent for myself. And some ear plugs to keep out the buzzing. My crazy friend wants to do EXTREME SURVIVAL but I just want to fish and catch snakes and throw rocks at alligators, maybe take some pictures. The trip will only be about 3-4 days tops. (Because my buddies girlfriend is forcing him to take some gay ass road trip and cutting in our man time.) Also, this will be sitting in a barn/shed when we arrive. Almost forgot.

morton Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Learn how to use a compass and map and bring those along. A small first aid kit and a whistle are not bad ideas either along with iodine for water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocodile Tears Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 i do know at 12pm the sun casts shadows that all point north. so you dont need a compass if you have a watch. i learned that watching The Edge with anthony hopkins when i was a kid, turned out to be true.

acer910 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 alright, first of all do NOT watch any bear gryls or wild man or whatever the fuck it is tv shows before you go. they do stupid shit on purpose so they get better ratings. they could easily survive without scaling that sheer ice cliff. second of all, use a hammock. if you think you can camp on the ground in the everglades, you deserve to die. stay out of the water, the trees in that area usually have vegetation growing at the base you can stand on and jump from tree to tree. atleast this is how it was in the swamp i used to live at. i advise against starting a large fire. if you can get away without making a fire then go for it. (if you have water purification tablets, bug spray, packaged food and its summertime i cant think of to many valid excuses for fire) carry a .45 and hope you arent fat and can climb trees.

Fist 666 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 haven't read the rest of the thread but if you don't know what you're doing and you go out there thinking being a bad ass with knives will somehow help you, you're more likely to hurt yourself. get a compass. learn how to use it. get a map. learn how to read it. make a plan (don't wing it, you're NOT a bad ass). bring food and water and ration yourself intelligently. florida has some very cool terrain and some great hiking, but if you're an idiot you can very easily get hurt. good luck.
