Camping and Canoeing Tip Contest
Not sure of the author of these tips, but they do make sense and camping a lot more fun.
1. Lint from your navel makes a handy fire starter.
Warning: Remove lint from navel before applying the match.
2. Get even with the bear that raided your food bag by kicking his favorite stump apart and eating all the ants.
3. 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.
4. The best backpacks are named after national parks or mountain ranges. Steer clear of those named after landfills.
